This week's film wasn't going to be this at first but now thanks to our last project i fill like this movie should be discussed. Plus it gives me a good place to start my usual rantings so I would like to follow up on what I said in my first post to this blog. this week's film is none other than the 2002 movie Drumline Directed by Charles Stone III and starring Nick Cannon, Zoe Saldana and Orlando Jones. The story is basically a comedy about a talented street drummer from Harlem who enrolls in a Southern university, expecting to lead its marching band's drumline to victory, but he soon comes to learn that talent alone isn’t enough to win. In my opinion the script and the acting isn’t bad it’s just again like most of the movies I’ve seen of nick cannon pretty basic and not really too deep. It’s not a bad film it’s just one of those films where cursing is put to a minimum, not a lot of violence, and you don’t really show too many interpersonal issues so it’s a pretty good family movie. on another note

Orlando Jones’s comments during the movie are pretty funny just saying.

This week's movie is the 2010 film cherry written and directed by Jeffrey Fine starring Kyle Gallner, Laura Allen,and Britt Robertson. Cherry is the coming of age film of seventeen year old Ivy League Freshman, Aaron Milton who gets a different kind of education when he falls for the thirty four year old Linda a former dropout who has returned to college to straighten out her life. Thestory gets more challenging when Aaron meets Linda's sarcastic 14 year-old daughter, Beth ,who quickly develops a crush on him. Cherry is a good Indie film that is anything but ordinary. the story goes through many twists and turns and you can see the progression of each character whether it be healthy progress or detrimental. I myself thought that this film was beautifully done and that alot more people should see the movie.

The film I decided to show this week is the 2009 film Frenemey (little fish strange pond). I stumbled on this film by accident thinking at the time that it was Due Date because of how the poster looked but what I got was just about the opposite of what I expected and I never regretted picking up this film. Frenemy is the story of Mr. Jack and Sweet Stephen, who, cruise aimlessly through the streets of LA speculating about life, death, divine will and the force of power that predetermines their existence. Mr. Jack attempts to illustrate to his sidekick the delicate and natural forces of the universe.it does sounds a bit strange if you write it out like that but it is very interesting especially for people who like more psychological probing films. I was very surprised when I saw the comments on this movie because the movie is quite good. Most people were mad because they thought the movie was due date since galifianakis was on the cover and expected that type of comedy. While others were mad because of who the director of the film was (I won’t go into any greater detail with that one) but that shouldn’t really matter if the job was done right.

this week's post will be on the 2008 film "growing op" Starring Steven yaffe. "Growing Op" is a dramatic comedy/ coming of age story about a teenage boy being raised by his neo-hippie parents that run a major marijuana-growing operation in their home. the story takes many twists and turns that you will want to stay focused on the entire story.I myself found the ending to be pretty good and very unpredictable.Also for an independent film the quality of the actors is very high and the idea is portrayed very well throughout the entire film. This is again another film that I for one think deserves and should get way more praise than what it was given, because the idea,script, and actors all do a very solid job and at the same time do keep you entertained. Just to point out Most  of the marijuana plants in the film were fake just for anybody who watches this and goes "oh shit that is alot of weed" i told you ahead of time.
