See Girl Run Review from the Florida Film Festival by Examiner.com



"Don't you sooner or later have to relish the choices you've made?"


So says Marty (William Sadler ) to his daughter Emmie (Robin Tunney ).  Emmie has returned to the small Maine town where she grew up in the hopes of rekindling a romance with her high school boyfriend Jason (Adam Scott ).  Emmie moved away after high school and both Emmie and Jason are cognizant of the fact that they never technically broke up.  When Emmie's sad sack brother Brandon asks if her plan is to cheat on her husband with Jason, Emmie wonders if she's actually been cheating on Jason all along.
See Girl Run  is a charming little movie that speaks to that time in your life when you begin to second guess the decisions you've made.  Emmie's husband Graham (Josh Hamilton ) is loving and dependable, but she begins to wonder what would have been when Jason sends her flowers out of the blue.  Without a word she packs the car and heads home to Maine, telling her brother she has unfinished business.
The premise is not particularly original, but writer/director Nate Meyer  populates his movie with vividly drawn characters.  I found myself sympathizing both with Emmie as she agonizes over the choices she made, and with Graham, who shows a lot more patience with Emmie than a lot of people would, considering she doesn't even bother to tell him where she's going.


Robin Tunney shows range that I haven't seen from her before, and Jeremy Strong  makes Emmie's brother Brandon a heartbreaking character, a man who has real reasons to regret his past.  Adam Scott is funny and charming, but he conveys a quiet desperation as the story progresses.  It's also refreshing to see William Sadler in a truly likeable role, instead of trying to knock Bruce Willis off the wing of a 747.
There is of course the obligatory scene where Emmie and Jason finally meet.  What happens will come as no surprise, but there's something comforting about Emmie realizing what we understood from the very beginning.  See Girl Run is a lovely film.

Another new interview released by FoxNews in which Robin talks about her new movie released today, Looking Glass, and also some of her iconic roles such as in Craft and Empire Records. Robin Tunney has starred in some of the most iconic films from the ‘90s, but these days she’s opening a creepy motel alongside Nicolas Cage just for a good thrill. The duo star as a married couple in “Looking Glass,” a voyeuristic film where they are faced with disturbing, unexplained events occurring inside of what should be a desert oasis. Tunney, who captivated teens in cult classics like “Empire Records” and The Craft,” said she’s been waiting for years to work alongside Cage —and it was worth it. Fox News spoke with Tunney about what surprised her the most about Cage, her favorite memory with Arnold Schwarzenegger and whether she stays in touch with her former cast mates from “The Craft.” To continue reading the interview, click on Read More.

I still have to realize myself if this is just a work of my imagination, or if it is real, so bear with me if this post will sound a little too much incoherent! ;) I received yesterday an e-mail from Robin Tunney's personal assistant who very kindly passed along a message from Robin, in which she thanks all the fans involved in the Birthday Project Video that I shared here on Robin's Birthday day. ( I remind you the link of the Birthday Project, created by  @Totorsg  :  LINK  ) So here's the message, and enjoy it everyone! ** Before you ask me, yes this is all true. I made sure myself to verify it! ;) ** And just a few words from me. When I opened this website, I had no idea what this project would become. It was just a little blog at the beginning, but thanks to it I started to know a lot of Robin's fans. Some of them have become Friends.  Robin, you really mean a lot to us, you mean a lot to me, not just for your Art but becuase of all the beautiful people I
