Micitype Pretty Good
Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.
allisonply A man with a poet's song in his heart, Blaze Foley shared his love of words and his love of music with those of us fortunate enough to hear him perform. This film is a wonderful collection of personal memories, of ongoing tall tales (he was over 6'4"), and of the songs, sounds, and stories left behind by one of Austin's true urban legends. The film weaves narratives, photos, and interviews with film clips and recordings of Blaze. We learn about his childhood and his years as Deputy Dawg. We learn of his true loves - women, whiskey, and writing. His death is an authentic tragedy and our loss is deep, but thanks to the hard work of this filmmaker, Blaze will live on in our hearts and minds. With duck tape in hand, I almost want to go down to the Greyhound Station and buy a ticket to ride! Almost. Instead, I'll just have another snoot of brandy...for medicinal porpoises. For Blaze.
