The New Guy
(2002/Decter)
Decent comedy. Eddie Griffin's the man, and the O'Connell Brother's cameo was great.

The Last American Virgin
(1982/Davidson)
Nice little 80's high school flick, with an awkward moment here and there due to some exaggerated sexual antics, but overall, good. Although the suprisingly sad ending kinda comes out of left field.

Some Kind of Wonderful
(1987/Deutch)
It may have been directed by Howard Deutch, but you can tell good old John Hughes is a major force here (he wrote and produced). It was interesting to see Eric Stoltz in one of the only other films I've seen him in aside from Pulp Fiction, as he plays a drastically different character here. Compared to all the other teenage-aimed films that we've watched in my class, this one just rings so much truer, whether it be dialogue or the situations or the emotions, you can just tell there's a master of the genre behind the wheel. Hughes and Deutch also teamed up for 1986's Pretty in Pink, so I'll have to check that out sometime soon.


I dream in widescreen.
