I Heart Huckabees 229 reviews Jason Schwartzman, Jude Law
20th Century Fox, 2005
definitely for a certain kind of viewer
+ I Heart This Movie
I was just glowing after seeing this movie and I definitely dropped about 30 bucks to buy this as soon as it came out, and I guess you could say it was well worth the money because I watch it so often. Jude Law and Mark Wahlberg are so funny in this! I will admit that it's very quirky and random; I ...

The Bad Beginning (A Series of Unfortunate Events, Book 1) 1097 reviews Lemony Snicket
HarperCollins, 1999
Lousy
+ The Creepy Children + Great Beginning
Absolutely enchanting. If grief and horror could ever be so practically and charmingly applied in the real world, it would probably be a better place. The writing style may off-set some, but it's quirky, odd, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's an off-beat story with unexpectedly powerful heart.

Me and You and Everyone We Know 132 reviews Kelsey Chapman, Hector Elias
MGM (Video & DVD), 2005
Don't watch with your family
A great and extremely quirky movie, but makes for awkward times with a family. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Broken Flowers 206 reviews Nicole Abisinio, Frances Conroy
Universal Studios, 2006
Beautiful.
+ Not your typical comedy
I am a big fan of Jarmusch and Bill Murray and when the two come together we see a great character named Don Johnston come to the screen. When auteur Jarmusch focuses on an actor he tends to give them the freedom they need to really bring a character to life. Like all of Jarmusch's films this one ...

Modern Classic!
+ Another American dramedy + At the Forefront of New American Cinema
I don't know how Laura Lindley does it but I can always count on her being in a great independent film. This one is wonderful though I still can't make sense of the ending. A couple divorce and the poor relationship between the couple and the boys disintegrate even further. This family wasn't ...
