– with 2 Trust Points – rated it
Very Good
A coming of age movie on the surface. A May – December romance. It feels a little creepy to watch the early stages of their affair.

The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys
|
BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
OK
An original coming of age movie with a unique blend of humor, fantasy, and drama. Altar Boys follows a group of bored teenagers as they use pranks, wit, and creative dirty-comic book writing to get by in an oppressive Catholic school. Oh, and if you might take offense at a movie full of jabs at C…

OK
A war movie that isn’t really about war – but instead is a coming of age drama about a young man on a 96 hour leave before his deployment to Iraq. Filled with drama that comes from confronting the past – a punk kid life in Bakersfield – and the future: responsible behavior, a beautiful n…

Good
A solid dark comedic coming-of-age story about the downtrodden “Dawn Weiner” and her quirky family. I thought of this as the original “Ugly Betty” who deals with brutal 7th cliques, bullyish boys, a geeky older brother, and a princess little sister — who just happens to be her mom’s favorite. T…

A great movie about a young boy with the misfortune of having his Bar Mitzvah scheduled on the same day as England participated win the World Cup Soccer championship in 1966. This is movie is much more than about that main plot and instead focuses on family life and a brief bit from Bernie Reuben…

Aces High

OK
Those Magnificent Men in their Flying Machines – as the phrase went back in the day. Magnificent indeed, but also jaded, troubled, and struggling with the fact that so little of them ever make it through WWI sotries alive. Aces High takes a soft-pedal (well, soft for a 70’s movie anyway) look a…

Very Good
Quirky goodness from Mickey Rourke, Natt Wolff, Emma Roberts, and Sarah Silvermann. The cast works well together through an unlikely set of circumstances: namely a nerdy kid trying out for football and getting life advice from a career hit man. Mickey especially seems to have settled in to a g…

Charlie Bartlett

BrianSez
– with 17 Trust Points – rated it
Very Good
Kicked out of private school, Charlie works his charm (after a few bumps) at public school — eventually helping everyone discover the wonders of psychiatry… and drugs. This morphs in to a very funny parody of both high school shenanegans as well as the psycho-medical community — all with a r…
