Wow, what can you say about a film like this? The story of love, friendship, and life inspired me so much and the repeated line of "No day but today" really stuck with me. You're sure to fall in love with all of the characters portrayed in this film, which is an adaption of the stage play by Jonathon Larson. (*Character names are Roger Davis, Mark Cohen, Tom Collins, Angel Dumott Schunard, Mimi Marquez, Maureen Johnson, Joanne Jefferson, and Benjamin Coffin III*)
I won't give anything away for those who have yet to view this spectacular movie but I will say that it will make you cry. And not just cry a little... I mean tears streaming down your face as you desperately try to blot them with a tissue so that the person sitting next to you won't notice kind of crying. Yeah, not even kidding. Not that there isn't plenty of laughing time in this movie also.
So it doesn't really matter if this is your introduction to Rent (it was for me) or if you've seen the play several times before shelling out some dollars to see this movie. It's really just a spectacular and faithful adaption of the award winning musical and it would be silly to not at least give it a chance.

I wouldn't go so far as to say that this movie was scary, but it was sure as heck bizarre!!!
So basically this movie is about a woman (a former cellist) with a mysterious past, involving a car accident, and all of a sudden strange and terrifying things begin to happen to her much beloved family. She has a husband who seems to love her very much, a sister-in-law that lives with them until she is married to her fiancé, a mentally impaired older daughter, and another younger daughter. She also teaches as a part time instructor and one day is threatened by a young student who received a poor grade in her class. No spoilers, so to find out more you have to watch the movie.
This movie had TONS of twists and turns, just when you think you've figured it out something new pops up and it throws you entirely off guard. Especially about the main character's past... you have been warned.
One thing I love about these types of movies is the beautiful cinematography, it's just absolutely gorgeous even in such a twisted and creepy movie such as this one. Everything just seems to flow so elegantly, something rarely achieved in American movies. I definitely recommend this movie for someone who enjoys a good creep fest, but don't recommend it to someone who is really squeamish towards blood.
