Breaking Good & Talented: Charles Baker. ARTICLE/INTERVIEW.

-
Well guys you are probably reading this because you like my interviews? Or you’re a big Velvet Film fan? Okay, more realistically, you’re probably reading this because you’re a BREAKING BAD fan?!
Either way what you are about to read is not just an interview with Skinny Pete, it’s an interview with Charles Baker; a quick rising and talented, talented artist. I also consider this interview as a milestone for Velvet! So woo! Anyway back to the professionalism….
Without further a due below is a great interview, with the great Charles Baker on acting, ELEVEN ELEVEN and more.

“I've always wanted to entertain people. But I didn't realize that acting was going to be my thing until college.  I was a music major, thinking of becoming a music teacher, when I was asked to be in a play. I had done several musicals in college, but never a straight play. I did the show and fell in love with it! I changed to a double major Theatre/music and started working in all of the local theatres in my area”.

Charles is quite obviously so passionate about his acting, his art, he enjoys as well as endures, so what was his favourite role to play so far?

“Skinny Pete had been the best role ever for me, that role made it possible for me to grow as an actor.  But, thanks to that role, I was given the opportunity to be the lead role in a sci-fi comedy called ELEVEN ELEVEN (elevenelevenmovie.com). That role was the exact opposite if Skinny Pete, but it means almost as much to me. I play Tim Faris, a sort of social outcast/Trekkie who gets to be A hero of sorts...a pretty flawed hero, but a hero nonetheless”.

I always ask my actors and my directors about what they’re inspirations are, I feel what inspires you is the biggest component in your work, to make IT work. Here are Charles’-“I have so many influences! From Charlie Chaplin to Bruce lee! I get inspired by anyone who is passionate and determined to follow their dreams no matter what the odds”.

We’ve had Skinny Pete and now we are slowly being given Charles Baker, a man who when I first saw his Twitter profile (@CharlesEBaker) picture I thought was Michael York’s doppelganger  but no, just like Michael, Charles is unique, his own. I am so excited that I did this interview, not due to Breaking Bad, but due to the fact that there is coming a time where everyone will be raving about a truly and honestly talented actor named Charles Baker and I can say; “I interviewed him once”.

Here in Charles’ own words is what we can expect in the future from him and what people should start getting excited about!  “I got a lot of stuff coming up! On tv, you can see me in a show called MURDER IN THE FIRST on TNT this June. In theaters, I hope, you'll see me in WILD with Reece Witherspoon, YOU CANT WIN with Michael Pitt, AD INEXPLORATA with Mark Strong and Luke Wilson, and ELEVEN ELEVEN with Krista Allen and Christina Rose. I'm very excited about all of them because I was given a chance to play very different unique characters in each”

Inhumane: Welcome Back to The Female Werewolf!

-

What is better than a new horror feature about a female werewolf? Not much, I had a think about it and yeah, not much. Lucky for us there are still creatives who understand this NEED for movies with plots such as this one and Eric Winkler is one of them; a fairly new on the market writer who has bought us not only a new horror movie but has done so with the sharp bite of woman empowerment. Inhumane is, as said, a female led werewolf movie in which our main character Lisa has something horrific happen...hold on, let me have the brains behind the movie tell you a little what it’s about, that’s right Velvet-ians, I got to speak to the man himself; Where did the idea for Inhumane come from and made you want to write it? ERIC:  My original thought was "I want to write a movie with a really badass woman as the lead character." Basically, I thought it'd be cool if we had her be a superhero, but her superpower is that she's a werewolf. Well, originally I couldn...

Ouija (2014) Review.

-

Cast; Olivia Cooke, Darren Kagasoff, Douglas Smith. Director; Stiles White. Ouija is a 2014 horror film about a group of friends who use an Ouija board to try and communicate with their friend who recently and surprisingly hung herself with her fairy lights. But of course this is a horror film, so the communication they make is not a heart-warming reunion with their loved one but much more haunting. Slowly one by one they are being killed by deceased, deranged and murderous spirits of a Mother and Daughter; but which one is really the murderer? Now even though almost every review I saw of this movie was terrible, I had to see it for myself, I was intrigued as to why it was apparently so terrible! Also I am a massive Texas Chainsaw fan and a producer of Texas also produced this movie. I will tell you though, this film is not majorly gory, there are no chainsaws and although I wasn’t impressed with it I was entertained, but this movie will probably get lost in the pile of oth...

Saving The Outsiders House: Danny O'Connor.

Moviepilot.com/Warner Bros. The Outsiders is an american drama movie adaptation of  S. E. Hinton's book with the same title. It was realised in 1983 and had a cast of many familiar faces before they were as familiar and famous as they are today; Matt Dillon, Tom Cruise, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze and pre-Karate Kid Ralph Macchio, with C. Thomas Howell as the lead. The film tackled themes of class, brotherhood and murder and caught it all in a gritty, honest and beautiful bubble. Simply unforgettable. This cult classic was directed by one of the greats Francis Ford Coppola whose name stands against the ever lasting titles of The Godfather, Apocalypse Now and one of my favourites, Bram Stoker's Dracula. With all these fantastic names behind it, from my point of view, I'm surprised it's as cult and underrated as it is. However with that being said, I learnt just how large the ever growing fan base for this movie was  when the key character of the movie was due to be ...
