Good Time Max (James Franco) reminds me a lot of myself; we both play the boisterous younger brother, thirsty for reckless living, wasting honest resources on temporal thrills and instant pleasure, easily distracted. Life is, of course, just one great big party! Right? However, Max and I also relate to the difficulty of coping with the folly of excessive living. We know hard times, family drama, and often times are out of money. We deal with the guilt and awkwardness of the lesson(s) learned and many times vow never again to be such a childish adult. We both know addiction and sobriety, which means that we also know how it feels to relapse and follow through with the entire cycle, the drama and so forth, once again.

My oldest brother, now a doctor of microbiology, once thought that I was smarter than him because he never saw me do homework or study as a kid.

Making personal choices today will inevitably, inadvertently and incidentally affect ones immediate future, yet many times yielding unfavourable results. In other words: choose wisely.

Great low-budget, independent project, indeed! Viewing the practical next-door characters in an authentic & emotionally moving script is considered good time spent for this dramedy gem.

Baz Lurhman is terrible. His art is annoying. This music video only resurfaced in my life since the promo for the new Elvis Presley movie came out and I was curious. To my disappointment, I discovered that the making of the Hollywood biography of one of the world's most revolutionary figures unfortunately wound up in the hands of one of the least impressive artists of our time. Baz Lurhman makes entertainment for kids, but a lot of grownups take his work too seriously.

This is one of the coolest movies I've seen lately! I haven't read the book(s), but I like the David Lynch version, granted it was a failure. So I'm merely judging the new version against the old.

Audio-visually stimulating effects and settings combined with ample A-list actors make DUNC worth the experience. If you thought that the creators of The Phantom Menace drew inspiration from various human cultures and races, then you'll probably think the same about this one. I love how the Sardaukar talk!

Props to Lynch for all of his effort. But modern Hollywood technology and Denis Villanueve have made a much newer, much better rendition. We'll finally get the complete cinematic series!
