Knuckle Draggers is a refreshing take on the battle of the sexes
Saturday, August 29th, 2009“How do you talk to women?” I would ask my friend. “With words,” he’d reply. I thought he was being an ass, but as it turns out, he was right. And that’s the funny thing about interpersonal relationships with the opposite sex. It’s the way we use words that may spell disaster for a relationship. In Knuckle Draggers, the dramedy from Alex Ranarivelo, we learn that ye olde story of love, life, sex and… READ MORE on… Reel Loop and Examiner
Film was a breath of fresh air…
Thursday, August 27th, 2009Finally, an adult romantic comedy which examines the state of modern male/female relationships, through the male perspective. In Alex Ranarivelo’s film, Knuckle Draggers starring Ross McCall, Paul J. Alessi, Cuba Gooding Jr., Danielle Nicolet, Jennifer Alden and Amie Barksy, we see what couples actually want versus what they need, and how their needs may not have evolved much from those of our caveman ancestors.
This indie film was a breath of fresh air, especially watching each characters “evolve” throughout the movie. It works outside of mainstream but still has the… READ MORE

New Interview with Paul J. Alessi – By Duane L. Martin of Rogue Cinema
Saturday, August 1st, 2009I don’t know how Paul J. Alessi does it. Somehow, he manages to juggle acting, producing, playing sports and donating some time to charity events. I recently had the pleasure of reviewing one of his films called Knuckle Draggers, and it was a given that after having seen such an amazingly well crafted film, that I’d jump at the chance to interview Paul about it as well as about some of the other great things he’s got going on in his career….

Rogue Cinema’s review of Knuckle Draggers
Friday, July 3rd, 2009You know, it’s refreshing when a film actually tells it like it is, and I can’t remember seeing one that more clearly defined the truth about relationships between men and women than Knuckle Draggers. To start, here’s a quick description of the film from IMDB, written by the film’s writer and director, Alex Ranarivelo…
“Knuckle Draggers” takes a realistic, but comic look at how the behaviors of men and women have evolved very little since the caveman times. When Ethan, the needy nice guy, is dumped by his fiancee, he asks his misogynist older brother Kyle to help him win her back. Kyle tries to teach Ethan how to act like “a real man” and to never put a woman on a pedestal. Repulsed by his brother’s harsh views on how to treat women, Ethan ignores his advice and ventures out into the dating world, where he slowly realizes that everything Kyle says seems to be true.
That description gets to the core of the film, but it doesn’t tell you everything. There’s actually a … READ MORE

With an undertone that makes it relatable and compelling…
Wednesday, June 3rd, 2009Disclaimer: This review is about a movie that is a little off the beaten path for Screen Rant. If you know me, you know I like explosive TV and movies with a lot of carnage. I was invited to screen this indie movie and after watching it, I politely annoyed asked Vic if I could publish my review of the movie here. Let’s get on with it, shall we?
Quick Take:
Despite having a standard plot that we may have seen before, Knuckle Draggers comes at us with an undertone that makes it relatable and compelling… READ MORE (and see exclusive photos and news!!)
