CHICAGO – Patrick McDonald of HollywoodChicago.com appears on “The Morning Mess” with Scott Thompson on WBGR-FM (Monroe, Wisconsin) on August 22nd, reviewing the new film “Blink Twice,” the co-writer/director debut of Zoë Kravitz. In theaters beginning August 23rd.

Rating: 3.5/5.0

Channing Tatum is Slater King, a wealthy tech guru whose questionable lifestyle gets him in hot water. Frida (Naomi Ackie) has eyes on him at an event where she is suppose to be on the catering staff, and in a series of events Slater invites her and her bestie Jess (Alia Shawkat) to his luxury resort on a remote island. There they find other women guests, including reality star Sarah (Adria Ajona), and a group of male regulars including Vic (Christian Slater), Tom (Haley Joel Osment) and Cody (Simon Rex). Everything seems perfect, but the atmosphere is somewhat creepy.

”Blink Twice” is in theaters beginning August 23rd. Featuring Naomi Ackie, Channing Tatum, Alia Shawkat, Christian Slater, Kyle MacLachlan, Haley Joel Osment and Geena Davis. Written by Zoë Kravitz and E.T. Feigenbaum. Directed by Zoë Kravitz. Rated “R”
