![]() ![]() This sequence establishes Burt’s explosive anger and casts doubt on Burt’s status within The Organization. Kerr does such a great job bringing to life her sartorially obsessed female goon that it’s a shame Adele doesn’t appear again in Cruel Hearts. In one, a mob enforcer named Grimmer ( Eddie Jemison from Ocean’s Eleven and iZombie) and his partner, Adele ( Marion Kerr), bring a man who stole from The Organization to Burt’s bar for interrogation, much to Burt’s annoyance. Indeed, certain scenes seem to exist solely to provide that exposition. This keeps audiences guessing about the characters and their motivations until he decides to reveal things little by little. Osborne employs the technique of presenting the same scenes again and again from the perspectives of different characters. He is confessing, he says, because he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life looking over his shoulder. Guy claims to have slept with Burt’s wife ( Bonnie Root), not knowing who she was. Playing with the pin is Guy ( Alev Ayden), a stranger who approaches Burt in the bar he uses to launder money for a criminal syndicate known only as The Organization. ![]() (“Feed me, Seymour!”) Day is a different kind of scary in Cruel Hearts, portraying Burt Walker, a mid-level mobster who is a grenade waiting to go off. Osborne has become a favorite at the Phoenix Film Festival with his dramas Ten ’til Noon (2006) and Favor (2013) – along with Official Rejection (2009), his hilarious documentary about the film-festival circuit.Īctor Patrick Day was an ominous presence as Marvin in Favor, growing slowly from a dim bulb into an insatiable monster, kind of like the carnivorous plant in Little Shop of Horrors. He reprised the role in the sequel, "Ocean's 12" (2004), though like most of the supporting cast he was underutilized in the film.What can I say about director Paul Osborne’s latest thriller, Cruel Hearts? Seriously, what can I say? The plot is wound so tightly that I fear any attempt to summarize it would reveal a spoiler. Jemison continued acting while playing music, appearing as electronics expert Livingston Dell in the remake of the Rat Pack casino caper, "Ocean's 11" (2001). Before the break up, Love Kit performed with Susanna Hoffs and Corey Glover, and had a successful tour in the U.K. Both lively and melodic, Love Kit made three albums-10 Milligram Day, Who's Afraid of the Radio Tower?, and The September Heads-before bassist Ellen Phillips and drummer Tim Ford left to pursue other interests. In 1996, Jemison-a singer, songwriter, and guitarist-formed the power pop band, Love Kit, with second guitarist Rich Sparks, a former band mate of Jemison's in the group Silver Drag. ![]() Meanwhile, Jemison was finding regular work on the small screen, appearing in episodes of "Judging Amy" (CBS, 1999-2005), "CSI" (CBS, 2000-15), "Strong Medicine" (Lifetime, 2000-05), and "Six Feet Under" (HBO, 2001-05). In another nameless role, he played a Museum Worker in the horror thriller "The Relic" (1997), a poor man's "Alien" set in a Chicago museum-a flop by any standard. ![]() In this absurdist workplace satire, Jemison played Nameless Numberheadman, an office worker who babbles his paranoid delusions to Fletcher Munson (Soderbergh). One exception was "Schizopolis" (1996), directed by Steven Soderbergh. Jemison paid his dues by appearing in several low-budget features that remained unknown to the general public. ![]()
