By John Powers
You’ll seldom see a flashier star turn then Naomi Watts’s work in ELLIE PARKER, a bitingly raw comedy about the travails of making it in Hollywood. Written and directed by actor Scott Coffey, alumnus of such John Huges masterworks as SOME KIND OF WONDERFUL, this shot on video film has the amorphous shape of a struggling actress’s life. Watts is extraordinary throughout, but the opening sequence – which finds Ellie auditioning for the role of a wailing Southern belle, then getting into her car and driving through L.A. while changing clothes, talking on her cell phone, and rehearsing lines for and audition as a tough-talking New York hooker – is a tour de force.
