Director Duncan Skiles, whose 2018 thriller The Clovehitch Killer has developed something of a cult following in recent years, returns with Neighborhood Watch. Skiles' latest has the sort of setup that fuelled many a comic thriller back in the '80s. It's a classic buddy movie, pairing two mismatched misfits for an adventure that plunges them into their city's criminal underworld. 40 years ago it would have paired a seasoned veteran like Nick Nolte or James Woods with a rising comic star like Eddie Murphy or Michael J. Fox. It also likely would have struck a more natural balance between its comedy and its action, something Skiles and writer Sean Farley never quite pull off here.

Even those who don't know very much about visual art are familiar with the Cubist approach to the human body. Pablo Picasso liked to present a person from many angles at once, and compress three-dimensional form into a two-dimensional frame. No matter what step she's on, that nude descending a staircase comes at us all at once. We know we're looking at an individual person, even if it's never clear which of those fields of color represent the present moment and which are afterimages, projections, and vapor trails. Representing human beings like this guarantees that there’ll be distortions: facial features in strange places, unexpected angles, duplicates and odd subtractions, clashes between heads, necks, and torsos, the shuffling of expressions, and the surprise and disquiet that comes when an obviously human figure doesn't look much like a human at all.
The Makin Waves Song of the Week is "A Light To Come Home To" by Jersey roots rocker Lisa Bouchelle featuring Americana legends Amanda Shires and Larry Campbell.
Loss, we've all suffered it. Some of us more than others,some less and still yet there are those of us who've not had loss of any significance to this point. Loss, like anything else, is directly related to perspective. What may seem like a huge loss to one, is insignificant to another. People pass away, bad days do the same, they fade into the night or disappear at the bottom of one's favorite drink until they are swept away by the morning's sunrise and things are new. Some loss stays a bit longer, adding scars to our bodies until they become topographical maps of memories; reminders of what not to do or what we didn't do or should've done.
