Career fever!

You know how some girls have baby fever or wedding fever? Well I have career fever! I want to get my career started so bad! I have been envisioning myself living in LA or NY lately writing for a major publication. But I am stuck living at home with my family! Granted I am here doing an internship with myvegasscene.com where I just recently got my first blog published on the site and I am saving money, but I need to graduate!
That was a great feeling to see my name in print again! Aaah it's a GREAT feeling!
I really have graduation fever too! I am not that many credits away from graduating but being here in LV doing this internship is kind of putting me behind! Although, I need this intership credit to graduate. I almost just want to not graduate and move to LA and get started.
That is how bad I am itching to begin! I just know that employers will hire you more when you have a degree. I want to graduate too because my high school graduation was not memorable at all and I want to have an amazing college graduation with friends and family and a big cake, etc.
So the question is can I just get my shit together, finish out this internship here in Las Vegas till mid January and then get my butt back to Reno and graduate and then get on the career train?! Choo choo!!

Feast Movie Premiere at the Palms

Walking into the Brenden Theaters at the Palms on Monday night I had no idea what to expect of the new Indie movie “Feast.” I was only aware that the title was based on a cannibal coming to America and “feasting” on human flesh. Still being in the spirit of Halloween I was excited to see such a film.I was accompanied by my little sister who is not a huge fan of gory, scary movies, but going to a movie premiere had interested her enough to join me.As we walked into the theater I was delighted to see how packed it was. It seemed like the only empty seats in the house were our reserved seats in the middle row. Best seat in the house I thought to myself. Before the movie came on there was a speech delivered by the film’s cinematographer, Jonathon Hart. He thanked the cast and all the crew, including the film’s writer and director, Erick Adam that was present in the audience. You could tell that there was a lot of passion that went in to making this film and that was apparent in Hart’s voice. All of the cast and crew stood up and the crowd gave an enormous round of applause. I recognized the film’s lead actress, Ronni Lea in the back row.Finally the lights dimmed and I was anxious for the film to begin. My popcorn was starting to vanish as I nervously and rapidly ate it. Another round of applause echoed throught the theater. The opening credits were certainly interesting and well shot. Pictures of dead pigs in meat factories and people enjoying pork at fine dining restaurants was a neat conception. We were introduced to the film’s protagonist Nathan, actor Josef Niznik, a scientist in the movie that has been studying ancient tribal rituals. He had been in the jungle for many years as a cannibal until he got word that his mother was dying of cancer. It was then when he decided to come home to America. Niznik’s appearance was almost that of a werewolf. The movie then switched to a scene of a house in the desert with a female screaming followed by a gun shot. After, two policemen played by Alastar Bayardo and Kirk Thompson had broken into the house and the audience sees a women who appears to be dead on the kitchen floor with Niznik next to her. The policemen question Nathan and that is how the stories of his cannibalism in America unfold.Nathan’s character drugs innocent women in his house as he woos them with wine and passionate kisses until they are then unable to move or scream and then he has his feast. Gory and somewhat disturbing shots are shown throughout these scenes, one including Nathan’s character breaking a man’s ribs and then feasting on them while saying tribal chants.Straying away from Nathan for a minute we meet two college students named Amiee, a freshman (played by Ronni Lea) and Terra (played by Janell Kelley) a sophomore who live in the dorms. Terra welcomes Aimee to the room where Aimee is suspicious by the creepy man in the hallway who is staring at her as she enters the dormitory. A few minutes later the girls hear a knock at the door and by the time they turn around there is a dead bird on a plate waiting for them.The film’s sound was not the best and at times I had trouble hearing the character’s speak, but it made up for it with the cinematography and interesting plot. Now, I don’t want to give the movie away but let’s just say that Nathan finds his love in America and turns her into a killing cannibal as well. You will have to sink your teeth into this movie and find out if Nathan gets arrested or continues on his way to killing innocent people in the movie “Feast.”
