The Perks of Being a Wallflower

I suck at doing movie reviews, so just watch this movie because it was really good. If I hadn't been so tired earlier, I would have already been through my second viewing now.

If you go to look it up, at face value it looks like it's just a high school coming of age movie (and it is), but without giving anything away, there ends up being more to it than that.

If it makes you watch it, then sure.

I'll back BlueNGold....I really liked 'Perks...' a lot. I just watched it a few weeks ago and I rented it again for this week.

I had no idea until afterwards that kid was Percy Jackson, either. LOL

Show up for Emma Watson and stay for a surprisingly deep, good movie.

Really want to see this.

I also just watched Blue Valentine. It was good, but it was almost too realistic and depressing.

You know that couple that fights, and a lot of times it's over the stupidest **** (so pretty much every couple ever)? Well, they do a really good job of depicting that here, and I don't feel like it makes for that good of a movie.

Don't get me wrong, I do think it was good, and I didn't go in expecting all sunshine and lollipops or anything. It's just in real life when you witness that type of situation you just want them to STFU and stop with the nonsense, and that tended to be the case here.

I would say his absolute peak was with Three Amigos! from that point on he saw diminishing returns as a comedic actor both performance and box office wise. The only thing that comes close to what he did before was Christmas Vacation. The rest is just very mediocre to bad.

I thought 3 Amigos was pretty mediocre. That cast should have put out a largely quotable comedy, so maybe it was the writing. But, overall, I thought it underwhelmed. I remember him being in a little known comedy just after he left SNL, entitled Under The Rainbow. I remember enjoying it, but can't recall his performance.....need to check that again.
