JOKER
A FILM BY CHRIS NOTARILE & BLINKY PRODUCTIONS
STATUS-COMPLETE
JOKER- This latest film by Fan Film favorite Chris Notarile and Blinky
Productions gives us a little taste of The Joker in His early days, a time shortly after His disfigurement, and a time
when He was merely a simple Hitman, not the over the top Clown Prince Of Crime We know today. In the film Joker and Harley
Quinn are sent to silence a Cop who has been investigating a local Gotham Crime Ring. The Joker and Harley use a
brutal array of weaponry to get the job done, trading in His giant mallots, and squirting acid flowers for the tools of a
common thug, switchblades, guns, pipes, etc. The film is short but it does what Mr. Notarile set out to do, To tell the tale
of a Joker :Year One. This film's Joker (played by Bryan Bockbrader) is still a wet behind the ears straight hood,
but the effects of the chemicals He took a bath in are clearly starting to have their effect on His mental state. His maniacal
cackles and sinister grin give us all a taste of what's to come. Mr. Bockbrader does a fine job as The Joker, His perfromance
reminded Me a bit of Jim Carey, with just a dash of the Nicholson Joker portrayl. Don't get Me wrong, Mr. Bockbrader is definitely
His own Joker. Bockbrader wears no prosthetics but still looks the part in simple face paint, and His array of highly animated
facial expressions are the icing on the cake. Deanna Miller does a fantastic job as Harley Quinn, and looks fabulous in one
of the best Harley costumes I've seen in a Fan Film. This film shows Us a side of Harley We've never gotten to see, a
true dark side. I'm glad Mr.Notarile had the balls to go that route. Since Harley is basically brainwashed by Her infatuation
with The Joker, and worships the ground He walks on, She would obviously do anything the Joker asked of Her, no matter
how gruesome. There is little blood actually shown in the film but the violence is intense, leaving it up to the minds
eye to paint it's own bloody picture. Short, sweet, a healthy dose of the old Ultra Violence, and a smidgen of Dark
Comedy..Yep, this is another trademark Blinky film that hits it's mark dead center. To check out this film please click HERE
