For a long time I searched for 'the best movie I've ever seen.' I thought about it for awhile but couldn't come up with an answer. Then I saw Donnie Darko. Bam. There was my answer.

Donnie Darko is not a movie for everybody. If you consider American Beauty one of the best movies you've ever seen, skip it. It's full of mind bending twists, insane camera work, beautiful special effects, and amazing performances. I loved every minute it of. After five minutes I was saying to myself, "This movie is perfect." I'd recommend it to anyone willing to see it. Quite simply the best movie I've ever seen.

I had to watch 'Jacob' for my freshmen religion class. While it is interesting enough, I don't think anyone would find it a 'fun' movie. I think the movie requires that you have some sort of religious background. The story of Jacob and Esau is interesting, but I don't think it translates well into film. I'll give it a B-.

I love Square Pegs the way I love Welcome Back, Kotter or I Dream of Jeannie: for it's kitsch quality. From an easily-spooked new-waver named Johnny Slash, to the bitchy, overly-bubbly pep coordinator Muffi, to Sarah Jessica Parker in one of her earliest roles as an ugly duckling, this show is full of weird and wonderful characters. True, it's hard to believe why two people like the main characters would want to be friends with the catty popular girls, but we get the feeling the show was asking itself that same question. Anyone who loves the '80s as much as I do would love this show. A theme song by The Waitresses, an appearance by Devo, over-the-top legwarmer and skinny tie costumes worn by everyone; what's not to like?
