I heard the makers of Donnie Darko are coming out with a sister film. I'm not too sure how true that is, but I'm excited.

If you haven't seen the original, you should rent it right this second.

I'm not even going to try to explain what the movie is about. You just have to watch it for yourself.

This is a video of the song "Mad World" by Gary Jules. It is seriously chilling.

Life is a dream.

If you're interested in lucid dreaming, check out Waking Life.

Here is a clip:

I really want to see The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I hear it's amazing.

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.

All you need is love.

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.

Photobucket

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?

Photobucket

This is a movie everyone should have in their collection.

Are you game or not?

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.

Photobucket

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.

Ben Affleck can act?!

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

Photobucket

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.

Big thumbs up!
