Movie #48........................."Killer Diller"

Movie #48 "Killer Diller" is lots of fun to watch, very enjoyable. The lead gets a cool guitar from a famous blues legend, brings it to a bar, gets in a fight and is in jail in the first 2 and 1/2 minutes,from then on it's his journey to a halfway house where he is forced to play lame Christian rock music with Fred Willard playing the piano until................he meets up with rockin' Vernon, who tickles the ivories like nobody's business. Lots of music along + a wonderful heart with autistic savant Vernon befriended by the lead guitarist = a little more rough around the edges "School of Rock" type of film. Lots of fun to watch ---- I even laughed out loud a few times.

Writer-director Tricia Brock brings Clyde Edgerton's acclaimed novel to life with some help from blues legend Taj Mahal and Grammy winner Keb' Mo'. After violating his parole, a young thief (William Lee Scott) is sent to live in a halfway house run by an eccentric Bible-banger (Fred Willard). As part of his punishment, the felon's forced to play "church music," but he changes his tune when he meets a piano-playing autistic savant (Lucas Black).

I gave it 4 stars and recommend it.
