Independent Film

There is something lovely about independent film. Most people don't really see it, but I do. And I'm happy that I do. Every weekend people will go to the movies, and they'll go see Couples Retreat, The Proposal, Paul Blart, or any number of big budget mind numbing movies, believe me the list goes on and on. Now I am by no means saying that there isn't a time and place for these big budget movies. God know as long as they are making transformer movies I will be going to see them. All I'm saying is that for my money I'm going independent. There is something inspiring about these films. They have a feeling that makes you feel as if they are routed within the real world. And there is something so special about walking out of a movie and knowing that the story you just sat through is really important to somebody. There is something so special about these movies. I promise you they are worth it. So don't always take the easy way out when you are at blockbusters. Look for something that you've never seen before that catches your eye. Sure there are a few duds in there group, but no more than the big budget movies that are released everyday. Today I watched a movie with my mother. A movie by the name of Management. And not only did this movie make me feel something special, but it also made me realize that given the right material Jennifer Aniston can actually act. She is more than just a pretty face and the some of her Rachel character from friends. Who would have ever thought that with movies such as Rumor Has it or Derailed. But seriously check out movies like Management, Adventureland, Brick, The Brothers Bloom, or even Funny People even though it might have had a bigger budget it is still a pretty special and personal movie.
