August Rush (2007)
A story of Romance and a child reunited
This story as many have said can be compared to Oliver Twist, it has many similar elements. A young boy (Freddie Highmore)who is very talented, grew up in an orphanage. His parents however are still alive and he goes on an adventure looking for them. He meets many interesting people and eventually ends up living with Wizard (Robin Williams) and his gang of young boys. He is impressed with the boy's musical abilities and takes him under his wing. The boy finally meets up with his parents who are musicians as well. It is a classic tale of adventure. I would recommend this movie to people of all ages. I don't think it will be the hugest blockbuster but worth seeing.
Legion and the Watcher (2005)
Amazing independent film
What is more amazing is the age of the producer/Director/Writer/co-star This movie was filmed during the summer of 2005 and contained almost entirely highschool students ore recent Graduates with cameos by a couple high school teachers.
It is about a group of teenagers that are one by one being possed by a strange evil spirit. It is quite a thriller, with a style similar to that of M. Night Shyamailan. If by chance you happen to come across this movie, see it, it is so underrated. The only way that could happen though is if you know someone, it has never been released to the public. Hopefully one day it will hit the mainstream. I await the filming of Mr. Marsh'es next movie of which the script has been completed and I can tell you will be just as good. I hope to get a bit role in that one. I wish Brian Marsh all the success and hopefully someday he will be up their with Spielberg, Lucas and the like.
Frontline: Country Boys (2006)
Amazing documentary
This is a documentary that follows two boys a punker named Cody Perkins and a boy with a drunk dad who lives in a trailer named Chris. Cody lives with his grandma because his father killed his seventh wife a stripper and then himself, Cody's real mom died when he was young. Chris lives with his Mom, Dad, Grandma, Sister, and apparently a brother who you never see. They struggle in everything they do especially Chris. Chris starts the school newspaper and Choir both of which he gives up on. Chris is actually very intelligent and is one of the best speakers around. Cody writes punk Christian songs. Cody's girlfriend's dad (now his father in law) does the theme song for the series. It is actually quite depressing at times but great. You should watch this documentary. It is available on PBSs website.
MADtv (1995)
Late night sketch show better tah SNL
Mad TV is a sketch show featuring a cast of hilarious characters. It is on Saturday night and is better than SNL, my favorite actor is Frank Caliendo. Many of the actors go on to bigger things. Original cast member Nicole Sullivan stars on King of Queens and has appeared in siera Mist Commercials. Original cast member Orlando Jones was the original make 7 up yours guy and has also been in a few movies. Will Sasso starred on Less than Perfect. Michael McDonald has appeared on several sitcoms and in all three Austin Powers movies. Aries Spears appeared in the Pest and is now in Sierra Mist commercials. Alex Borstein has been in a few movies and now is Lois Griffin on Family Guy. Josh Meyers is now on that 70s Show. There are many original characters like Stewart (Michael McDonald) Miss Swan (Alex Borstein) Dollar Bill Montgomery (Aries Spears) Bae Sung "uh oh hotdog (Bobby Lee) Lauraen (Mo Collins) and many more. There are also impressions of real people the best in my opinion by Frank Caliendo. George w. Bush (Frank Caliendo), Bob barker (Michael McDonald) Rod Roddy (Frank Caliendo) Konnie chung (Bobby Lee) Ashley Simpson (Nicole Parker) and although Will Sasso's Kenny Rogers is loosely based on the rear Kenny Rogers it is considered an original character because it is nothing like Kenny Rogers.
