Milk is the incredible story of Harvey Milk, an American gay activist and California's first gay elected official.
Gus Van Sant scored a victory with this remarkable film, and Sean Penn won an Oscar for his role.
Whether you're gay or not, support gay rights or not, or have never given much of a thought to the struggle that gays are facing even today....I suggest you watch this movie. It may just change your views.
I left the theater in tears, and as I watched it again on DVD there were even more. Anyone with a heart will take something away from this film.
Across the Universe is a a musical with some substance.
Set in New York City during the Vietnam War, the film is extremely powerful to watch. Every scene has a Beatles song to go along with it. Every song fits perfectly to what is happening in front of you. It's perfect.
This is one of the most powerful scenes from the movie, with "Strawberry Fields Forever" sung by the main character, Jude.
Salma Hayek even makes a surprise appearance. Who wouldn't enjoy that?
This is a movie everyone should have in their collection.
Love Me If You Dare is another favorite film of mine. Copies of this movie are now almost impossible to find. Luckily, I have a friend who works at a movie store in New York and found me this movie. I'm sure there are ways to download the film over the internet, so i recommend you do so.
The film is a love story about two selfish individuals who are obsessed with a game somewhat like Truth or Dare since they were just kids. They dare each other to do outrageous things to embarrass and destroy each other. The whole movie is in French, so there are subtitles. It's an extremely fast pace movie, so it's very exhilarating to keep up with. The cinematography is also to die for.
If you've never seen the movie Chasing Amy, I would suggest that you do if you want a good laugh. I had never seen it, but was told to immediately. I have never been a fan of the Clerks movies, but this movie, also directed by Kevin Smith, has a little more depth. Ben Affleck's character tries to make a lesbian fall in love with him the entire movie. It is sad, yet humorous. I have never seen Ben Affleck give a more powerful performance, especially in a comedy. I loved this movie.
The Wackness is a movie I had heard about through word of mouth, but had no idea what I would be getting myself into by watching it. All I had heard was that it was a powerful movie that needed to get more recognition. Since I'm always up for watching unheard of movies, I sat down and watched this great movie last night.
Set in New York in the 90s, I fell in love within the first ten minutes. The movie is about a loner who sells drugs to get by and to help his parents with money. He develops a profound friendship with his therapist and father of his love interest.
I'm a college student currently living in Tennessee. My dreams include living in New York City, writing for several fashion magazines, and seeing the world. Oh, and I spend an incredible amount of time watching life altering movies.
