Shrink

Shrink is a drama that came out in 2009. Kevin Spacey plays a depressed counselor that is a drunk pot-head. This film will be very depressing for a lot of people. It made me tear up a few times. The film touches on many different characters and shows how they all tie together...in a way. Kevin Spacey's character gives advice and tries to help celebrities, until he does a pro-bono session with a high school student. Robin Williams is also in the film. The shrink turns into a whole different person after he smokes the strain called, "Christmas in Vietnam". Definitely check this film out, I loved it.

Where The Wild Things Are

Where The Wild Things Are is an amazing film by Spike Jonze, that is based on the 1963 book written by, Maurice Sendak. A lot of people will not enjoy this film. If you have read the book and enjoy amazing cinematography, then you will be very amazed by the film. In the film Max, the main character is a depressed, lonely young kid that has no friends. So, he runs away to this island where he meets all of the monsters that become his friends. Many of the monsters voices done in the film are done by big time actors and actresses which you will most likely recognize. Overall I give this film a 5 out of 5. I enjoyed every minute of this film. Go see it and then purchase it when it comes out to buy.

Sin Nombre

Sin Nombre is a Spanish drama that came out in 2009. I waited so long to see this film and I finally did. I was blown away by this film. A great drama produced by two of my favorite Mexican actors, Diego Luna and Gael Garcia Bernal (Rudo Y Cursi). The film is based on the Mexican gang MS13. The main character El Casper aka Willy is part of MS13 and he wants to get out. The whole film is based on Willy's adventure to leave the gang. Willy meets this girl named Sayra while trying to get out of Mexico on top of a train. She wants to help him and he wants to help her get over the border. I WILL NOT say anymore. You have to see it for yourself. Overall I thought it was an amazing film, it could not have been better.
