Veronica Mars (2014)

Being a super fan of the series, I was definitely the target audience for this movie. It's no easy task piecing together a feature film based on a TV show, especially a decade later. Dead Like Me? Fail. Strangers With Candy? Fail. The list goes on and on.

Hats off to Rob Thomas for making something as good as or better than most of the episodes. Seeing the gang all back together was a real treat.

Rating: C+

Black and White (1999)

Black and White was a look into the lives of hip hop youth, how white kids mimic black culture, and how black kids interact with them. It's part rap video, part documentary, part improvisation, and part Boyz in the Hood. It was interesting and different, and I liked it.

Rating: C+

You Can Count On Me (2000)

It took me until halfway through the movie to be sure I’d already seen it. Not a winning endorsement. There are some interesting characters, but nothing really grabbed me. The kid is the most likeable thing about the film.

Rating: C

You Can Count on Me (2000)

Laura Linney is terrific and Mathew Broderick does a solid job too. Excellent dialogue and character development. What an indie film should be.

Rating: B-
