Liberty Heights is quite good. While I didn't enjoy some of the mature themes, I could understand that it was an accurate portrayal of life for the characters in the movie. It's an intellectual movie; on the level of Good Will Hunting, Dead Poets Society, and movies of that ilk. It's dark--it really makes you think and feel--but it's funny and entertaining at the same time. Very good.
10 Things I Hate About You is another good one. It's the whole Taming of the Shrew, Kiss Me Kate theme, though set in the present. As with the former, I could have done without some of the mature themes. Sometimes these themes add to the movie and make it more realistic. Other times, they just make me wonder how accurate they really are and what kind of message young viewers are getting. But I digress.
I like movies where people fall in love. I know those emotions. I miss those emotions. Memories flood back; I remember what it was like to kiss and to hold someone and know they wanted to be held and loved. I walked outside after the latter movie and just wanted to cuddle with someone I loved in the Dell. Sometimes I just have to remind myself that it's not my time yet and that my day will come. Whomever I end up with, she's got a whole lotta lovin' coming her way....
