Playing professionally at the Kansas City Knights baseball academy, Miguel finally gets his break at age 19 when he advances to the United States' minor league system. Azucar, a Dominican pitcher from San Pedro de Macoris, struggling to make it to the big leagues and pull himself and his family out of poverty. Spoonful of Sugar is on Shudder from March 2, 2023."Sugar" follows the story of Miguel Santos, a.k.a. It’s a real trip in every sense of the word! Just pay attention and go along for the ride. Also, the runtime of 94 minutes is another thing this movie has going for it. Their stupid or spiteful ways are explained, which means you can decide for yourself if this is an excuse. While there isn’t a single likable character, when you look objectively, you can still allow yourself to care for them. And yet, even his behavior is explained by him essentially being a “kept man”. Or making the husband a real whore who is easy on the eyes, but cold as ice in most other ways. Including the simple detail of having blood that actually looks like blood. It’s called Fixation and I’m definitely keeping my eye out for that one now. Mercedes Bryce Morgan already has a new movie that premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September 2022. In fact, the combination of the two as writer and director seems like a match made in horror heaven. The screenplay comes from Leah Saint Marie, and it isn’t difficult to understand why Mercedes Bryce Morgan ( Save Me) wanted to make this movie. Spoonful of Sugar was directed by Mercedes Bryce Morgan. Though she does clearly care about Johnny, she also cares about her career, which is as an author. Not so much for her own son as for appearances. Kat Foster ( Jean-Claude Van Johnson) is brilliant as the woman who just wants to be the perfect mother. However, getting involved in extramarital activities left and right is also a part of it. He’s often seen without a shirt and is clearly treated as an object. In this movie, Myko Olivier ( Menendez: Blood Brothers) is used as “eye candy”. His parents, Rebecca and Jacob, are portrayed by Kat Foster and Myko Olivier respectively. Danilo Crovetti ( Hunters) does an excellent job of portraying Johnny. The boy, Johnny, has lots of issues and is labeled as “sick” while being heavily medicated. Again, this is a compliment and – for many horror fans – enough reason to give Spoonful of Sugar a chance.Īlong with Millicent, we mostly focus on the family that has hired her as a babysitter. Not that it feels like an impersonation of another actor, but the two have the same energy and power in their performances. For any fans of horror that stay with you, this is a very good thing.Īnd Morgan Saylor does seem to channel all the things that Angela Bettis ( May, 12 Hour Shift) has made a career of. From the second I saw her on the screen, I was reminded of Angela Bettis. Millicent is the most impressive of them all and she portraying with a fierce passion by Morgan Saylor ( Homeland). There are very few characters in Spoonful of Sugar, but with characters that are this big, you don’t need more. Unfortunately, she ends up in a family that is way more messed up than she is. ![]() All she really wants is to find a family and have someone to receive all her love and return it. And Millicent likes being on LSD because it opens up her world a whole lot more. That’s how Millicent ends up being on LSD. ![]() ![]() Obviously, this take on life – and the people in her life – is dangerous.Īlso, her therapist is very fond of using medication and does not shy away from experimenting. She’s actually a very loving and caring person, but she also seems to believe that nothing is off-limits if you do it for love. The main protagonist (who is also the antagonist to both herself and the world, though she tries not to be) is Millicent. We see who these people are when they believe nobody is watching.Īnd these are the supposedly “normal” and unmedicated people in the story. And not many people can hold up to that kind of scrutiny. I am, however, saying that we get to see all of them. Let me be clear that when I say “nobody is likable”, I’m not saying these people are terrible individuals.
