Determined to lose his virginity, 18-year-old Ian (Josh Zuckerman) grabs two pals (Clark Duke and Amanda Crew) and drives from Chicago to Knoxville, Tenn., to meet Danielle (Katrina Bowden), the girl of his dreams … or at least that's what she seems like on Facebook. Sweetening the deal is the fact that she's offered to go "all the way," as long as he can make it all the way to see her, of course. Seth Green and James Marsden co-star.
went into this expecting nothing, came out with one of the best trashy teen comedies since grandmas boy. Tell judd apatow to get outta town. What cute goth girl wants to go on a road trip to Knoxville with me where we realize that we have been in love with each other the whole time? Also best extended/unrated version due to the excessive gross strippers super imposed over the movie

Woman Under the Influence
One of John Cassavetes' best films isn't about alcoholism, as the title suggests, but rather mental illness's debilitating effect on a working-class family. Shot largely with available light and a handheld camera in long, seemingly improvised takes, the style can be disruptive but is worth the effort. Gena Rowlands and Peter Falk deliver astonishing performances.
My first Cassavetes film, and so far i don't really get it. Lots of lighting inconsistancies and really really long uncomfortable shots. I think i want to see more of his movies but if this is his "best" i don't really know what to expect. It also gave me a lot of the same feelings that Raging Bull did. I can appreciate the very solid acting, but i can't really handle watching men beating up their wives exspecially in this case when she cleary has no idea what is going on.

Halloween (2k8)
another hard one to watch. Rob Zombie is definitly a trash ball, but i guess that's what this movie has always been all about. Every one that i talked to was pissed about the part about the childhood of Michael Myers, where i found this fairly interesting. Also the first time i have ever seen characters who play highschool students show so much boob.

The Wire Season 4 (4 disc)
Examining each link in the drug "food chain," this innovative HBO drama set in the thick of inner-city Baltimore includes everyone from junkies and dealers to cops and politicians. While the third season focused on the investigation of drug kingpin Avon Barksdale (Wood Harris), the show expands to tackle the urban education system's role in fueling the proliferation of drugs. Among the ensemble cast are Dominic West and Frankie Faison.
For the most part my least favorite of the seasons due to it being a little unreasonable in the fact that a group of kids running the drug trade. However this has it's benefits in that it's easy to become a fan of an adorable 15 year old gangster who has killed like 30 people without any remorse. I also am a little bored with politics so that part of the season is pretty slow. Omar is still around and as much of a hard ass as ever.
