The History Boys 5.0 Stars
Deals with sexuality, education, and friendship. There was not one character that I found unlikeable, and the actors did a fantastic job portraying them. I throughly enjoyed the film but felt that something was missing. I guess a few things were lost between the transition from stage to screen, or maybe I enjoyed it a little too much and wasn't quite ready for it to be over. I must make a note to see the play first chance I get.

Love Actually (2003,  R)
Love Actually 4.5 Stars
It shows everything in a relationship. The good, the bad, the ugly, the akward, and the funny. It's also one of those movies thats good for watching on a rainy day or if you need something to put you in the Christmas mood.

Hedwig and the Angry Inch 5.0 Stars
Okay, so it's about a German rocker who has a sex change. That's not what matters most. I have to admit that it is one of the best stage to screen movies I have ever seen. Let me just say that if you've ever had a broken heart you'll surely be able to relate to this movie. It was amazing!

A Beautiful Mind 5.0 Stars
This movie was so good. It was deep. meaning full, and it was based on a true story. It lets you take a little look inside the mind of a brillant schizophrenic man played by Russell Crowe. I throughly enjoyed his portrayal of John Nash.

Capote (2005,  R)
Capote 4.5 Stars
Very well done. Philip Seymour Hoffman did an amazing job protraying Capote, and the fact that it wasn't really a biographical movie made it even more interesting.

"Sometimes the people you need most are the ones you know the least." I cannot tell you how true that statement is. It was an excellent film. Fine acting, Adam Rapp's writing was fantastic.

This movie really is "based on a (mostly) true story" It was an excellent movie in my book. It greatly depicts a historical event in musical theatre, and it also adds some fictional characters to the storyline, which I have no problem with. What else can I say?

Little Children (2006,  R)
Little Children 5.0 Stars
Heavy, dark, and some of the scenes were a little disturbing. Not that it made the film any less enjoyable, for me anyway. As a matter of fact the only thing that I didn't like about the film was that there was voice over narration in the beginning of the film then it seemed to have disappeared then magically reappeared in the end. It would have been better if it was throughout the whole film.

ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway (2007,  PG)
ShowBusiness: The Road to Broadway 4.5 Stars
Gives you a little peek inside what it really takes to get a show on Broadway. While watching it I came to the conclusion that Taboo really did get screwed over, some of the theatre critics are not very nice, and being an actor isn't all fun and games. I'm now proud to say that I have so much more respect for these people that put a show together than ever before. I just wish that they'd included something about Avenue Q's "Vote with your heart" Tony campaign, and wasn't it heartbreaking when Euan Morton lost his Working Visa and had to leave the country after Taboo closed?

Made me want to go into the journalism business even more. All the note taking, digging for information, and that little hint of danger. I find all of that appealing. Good film with fantastic performances by Hoffman and Redford.

Why is it that all the European romantic films are the best? Maybe it's because they have a far better understanding of the subject than us Americans.
