DIRTY GIRL is irresistible, funny, and heartfelt. A great blend of drama and comedy. Indie star Juno Temple is a force to be reckoned with. Equally stellar performances from the supporting cast. This is one movie you need to watch…

DIRTY GIRL is the story of Danielle (Juno Temple), the dirty girl of Norman High School in Norman, Oklahoma, circa 1987. Her reputation takes an unexpected hit when her misbehavior gets her banished to a remedial class, where she is paired on a parenting project with Clarke (Jeremy Dozier), an innocent closet-case with no friends. When her mother (Milla Jovovich) announces her engagement to her family-minded boyfriend (William H. Macy), mortified Danielle vows to get to California to find the father she’s never met! Clarke is desperate to escape being sent to military school by his homophobic dad (Dwight Yoakam) and repressed mom (Mary Steenburgen), prompting the two mismatched misfits to make their getaway: on a cross-country road trip that leads to an unexpected and serendipitous friendship.

I’ve admired Juno Temple for quite some time now because even though she occasionally finds herself in big budget gigs like Year One, The Three Musketeers, and the upcoming THE DARK KNIGHT RISES, she remains and feels comfortable challenging her skills with indie low budget gigs that focus more on the story and the characters.

In DIRTY GIRL, 21 year old Temple wants to showed that she was ready to show her wild, daring side by playing a damaged soul that is Danielle who’s not letting anything get in the way of her meeting the father she never knew.

It’s also a friendship story of Danielle and a gay teen, named Clarke, who had difficulties coming to terms with who he was. Actor Jeremy Dozier played Clarke and his comedic timing was excellent.
Their little road trip into finding out that they were not so bad after all, is the story’s very core that will draw you in.

The humor was smart, the ’80s nostalgic tunes were catchy and liberating.
Writer/director Abe Sylvia has crafted a little coming of age movie that’s simply terrific, this is a little movie that could.

The DVD’s bonus features only offer audio commentary with writer-director Abe Sylvia, as well as deleted and extended scenes, no behind-the-scenes featurette, at least not that I know of

Movie Review: #Vacation

Vacation makes me want to take a STAY-cation. Review by Matt Cummings It's not too often that a movie makes me wish film never existed, yet her I am ready to give the newest Vacation all the hate it deserves. And hate on it I will. Grown-up Rusty (Ed Helms) is stuck in a dull marriage to Debbie (Christina Applegate), who's been forced year after year to spend vacation with her family at a cabin in Michigan. When the overly optimistic Rusty realizes his family needs a change, he packs them up for a trip to Walley World, the site of his greatest trip as a teen. But soon, his family begins to encounter difficulties and flat-out disasters that could end their road trip and return Rusty's marriage back to square one. It might surprise our readers to know that someone from our team actually considered walking out of Vacation , and we get to see these films for free. That's how bad our experience became as we sat mesmerized by its 99 minutes of ineptit...

Sex Tape Review: Overly Sexual, Rude, Vulgar, and Absolutely Hilarious

The raunchy Sex Tape will divide audiences and critics, but who cares? Sex Tape suggests a growing practice among loving partners: that of making a raunchy testament of their escapades for posterity. But what happens when that evidence gets seen by friends, neighbors, and even the mailman? This is the plot that pits Jay (Jason Segel) and Annie (Cameron Diaz) in an effort to secure every iPad gift Jay has given, his record company playlists being the envy of the recipients, but which has also inadvertently spread the video to every device. The reason for the act - termed in the movie as pulling "the full Lincoln " for its three-hour length - stems from the couple's non-existent social life, brought on by the constant demands of their children. The couple has a lot to lose: a burgeoning business relationship between Annie and Hank (Rob Lowe) could end if the iPad she's given to Hank exposes the video, and so the couple sets out to reclaim and wipe the incrim...
