Lily (Loren Horsley) is reserved and awkward. Jarrod (Jemaine Clement) is an introspective oddball completely oblivious to Lily's affection for him. A celebration mixed with a strange plan to exact revenge on Jarrod's high school foe brings the two raging misfits together to face their mutual life challenges. Academy Award-nominated director Taika Cohen also penned this dark romantic comedy, a 2007 Sundance Film Festival entry.
pretty much napoleon dynamite, but better, and with that one guy from flight of the conchords, pretty solid. put on a helmet and let me throw a shoe at your head

Across the Universe (Julie Taymor)
An American girl (Evan Rachel Wood) and a British lad (Jim Sturgess) fall in love amid the upheaval of the 1960s in this musical featuring classic Beatles songs and a mix of live action and innovative animation. On an excursion to America, Liverpool dock worker Jude (Sturgess) falls for Lucy (Wood). When Lucy's brother (Joe Anderson) is drafted, Jude and Lucy take a stand as anti-war activists. Dana Fuchs, Bono and Eddie Izzard co-star.
pretty cheesy, but pretty awesome. Like newsies, with Beatles covers. I liked most of it, but then again i like friday night lights. The songs are actually surprisingly refreshing versions of Beatles songs with only an occasional cringe.
7/10
Bio (mother fucking) Dome (Jason Bloom)
Pauly Shore and Stephen Baldwin star in this guilty pleasure: a comedy that requires no thought but generates a lot of laughs. Slackers Bud and Doyle mistakenly get sucked into living inside the Bio-Dome -- an environmental experiment that requires residents to stay for a year without outside contact. Can Bud and Doyle save the world, or will the world have to be saved from Bud and Doyle?
best american movie ever
