August 18, 2009Kat Dennings has great tits. I think I've said this in every review of every movie I've seen her in. But it's true. She's pale as ballsacks, and her teeth suck, but damn she has great tits.
This movie would surprise me and then humiliate me alternatively between scenes. It w...( read more) -

March 25, 2009Charlie Bartlett is a teen angst movie that you have to appreciate.
Anton Yelchin is perfect as Charlie Bartlett. He is a cross between Ferris Bueller and Max Fischer. He's your High School tamborine man, your boys room therapist Dr. Feelgood.
I love movies that have Robert Dow...( read more) -

October 27, 2009different as a person... good and sometimes... not so good... when you know yourself, accept and step forward it tends to be good...
"Would you like to talk about it?" :D -
October 24, 2009Another film set in a high school that defies logic. It has tons of emotion, which went awry as often as it hit the mark. There also isn't as much humor as I'd expected, though Tyler Hilton did supply some quality moments. Mostly this movie is about showcasing the amazing talents...( read more)

Charlie Bartlett is a refreshingly entertaining character study that refuses to dumb down its youthful cast or bury their concerns in service of a catchy soundtrack. full review
