The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Not availabe on Nextflix yet, but I put it on my Save list so hopefully it'll show up.

Excellent film. When a movie pulls your emotions from one extreme to the other, brings one to tears, laughter and more...it succeeds....and then some. Great acting, story and moving film. THe only detriment will be the PQ when released on Blu.

The book is good, too. A good adaptation.

Saw this tonight on BD from NF. Very, very nice, took me by surprise.

Caught this over the weekend on my quest to rent every Blu-ray disc Redbox has to offer apparently; actually, noticed it was shot on film before renting and that added to the intrigue for me to see how it looked on Blu-ray.

I lean conservative on the topic of homosexuality; so, this didn’t really ‘speak to me’ in regard to the theme dealing with that topic, but the storyline dealing with the main character’s mental illness and his struggles to fit in were less ideologically adverse and compelling to find sympathy for.

This was my introduction to Emma Watson too btw. I noticed on my Twitter feed that she’s up for some role in a movie about 50 Shades of Grey? I haven’t read the book, but I gather it’s some sort of sexual fantasy thing for women? Emma must be set to play a pretty steamy role I’m assuming then.

I graduated high school in ’89 myself; so, I was tuned into all the little cues of the era – which was another draw to see this flick. Emma herself struck me as a carbon copy of a 90s Winona Ryder with some Ally Sheedy channeled in a few scenes, but I wouldn’t say she ripped them off or anything. I’ll be keeping an eye out for her in the future.

I’ve seemed to be catching a lot of the ‘island of misfit toys’ themed movies lately, but this definitely had its own unique twists and turns on the theme.

I saw the trailer for this thanks gwsat will give it a look.

Took a little while to grab me but ended up really enjoying this. Best teen drama I've seen since Adventureland and the soundtrack was just as good.

I watched this one just now, and it really whacked me. Very well done, and I agree about Adventureland. It's similar in spirit to that, and Adventureland is a favorite of mine and this one probably will become one now as well.

I went back and watched the extras before I went to sleep and I was getting weepy just watching some of the deleted scenes. There was a lot of good stuff in there, dropped I pressume for tone and tempo reasons.

Queue, meet Adventureland

Adventureland has a great atmosphere to it, it's really well done. And Kristen Stewart looks lovely as well, which doesn't hurt.

I didn't know Kristen Stewart was in this one, I thought it was Emma Watson.

Oh, yeh, I was talking about Adventureland in that case. It is Emma Watson in this one, and she's not bad either, by any stretch of the imagination. But Kristin is more my type. Not that they are going to be mud wrestling over me any time soon or anything.

My apologies Dean I read your post quick. Sorry

I returned this disc before checking those out. Might have to make a rare purchase.

I watched it again last night before sending it back, and once again enjoyed it thoroughly. Definitely a top notch flick.

rented the br last week.

definitely a good rental

enjoyed this overlooked movie

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Adventureland. It's a really good movie, and Kristen was surprisingly good in it.

It is interesting that Stephen Chbosky got the opportunity to take his book to screenplay to director. First time out does a great job. Fine film although the main actors were clearly older than the teen parts they played. Although all of the cast did a splendid job clearly Logan Lerman's character and acting carried the film. His best role so far.
