Cinematic Adventures

Law Abiding Citizen (2009): 

Clyde Shelton: I don't think you have any idea who's helping me, or what I'm doing.

Nick Rice: It's a matter of time.

Clyde Shelton: You see the bodies, you see the smoke. But the larger picture still eludes you.

This movie takes a Thriller to the next level. Only a man like Gerald Butler could pull of a character like Clyde Shelton. When a man watches his family die and the law lets the killer go, he is going to do whatever he can to set the law straight. A tricky plan includes getting the killer, the district attorney and many other people involved in the case, to face death. This entails many murders and many warning signs. It all happens from a jail cell in federal prison.

Capote (2005):

Truman Capote: Ever since I was a child, folks have thought they had me pegged, because of the way I am, the way I talk. And they're always wrong.

A representation of Truman Capote’s journey to write a book called In Cold Blood, this movie is phenomenal. Philip Seymour Hoffman is one of the most talented actors I’ve ever seen. This film produces questions the integrity and morality of the intelligent. An unusual relationship, a dangerous situation, a brutal murder, only one man would want to write a book about the truth of the situation. “There is not a word or a sentence or a concept that you can illuminate for me.”

Truman Capote is very well represented in this film.

Away We Go (2009):

Verona De Tessant: I mean, we're 34...

Burt Farlander: I'm 33.

Verona De Tessant: ...and we don't even have this basic stuff figured out.

Burt Farlander: Basic, like how?

Verona De Tessant: Basic, like how to live.

Maya Rudolph…enough said. In this film a young, quirky, and very pregnant couple, travel around in search of a place to start their family. Very much in love, this couple is going to battle out every uncomfortable and strange situation together. Finding a home is not easy but it is possible. Infused with many laughs, a few tears, and a lot of experimenting, this movie is a beautiful look on life. A lovely pregnancy, the excitement of being a father for the first time, and the laughs of things not working out in their favor, all of these things sum up Away We Go.
