Documentary Treatment

     Sixteen-year-olds Max Poscente and Jonah Smith have known each other since preschool. The two boys have always had a lot in common: Their love for star wars, their taste in women, their musical talent, and more. But with too many similarities, can the competition aspect of their friendship drive a wedge between them?      
     Jonah and Max started attending Zound Sounds, a music school in Dallas at a very young age. When their music careers began to develop, they found themselves head to head in many situations. While their relationship grew strong for years, it had always been easy for Max and Jonah to hold grudges against each other for even the most trivial reasons. After having attended school together for many years on end, Max and Jonah found themselves separated in 8th grade. One at White Rock Montessori and one at Shelton, they grew distant and began to dislike each other for a reason even they couldn't tell you.
     When Jonah started his band Plowboy, and Max his former band The Psycho Sonics, jealously became an even more distinct factor. Their freshman year at Booker T. Washington High School For The Performing And Visual Arts hit Max and Jonah with the realization that they were stuck with each other for four years, whether they liked it or not. Regardless of the underlying rivalry, the boys had grown up together, so in a way their friendship sort of picked up where it had left off.

New friendships came and went yet here stands Max and Jonah, brothers, in the most literal way it can be taken without actual blood relation. They truly have been through a lot together, and their unique bond in unlike any other.

"The Future" Movie Review

"The Future" is a very very strange, obscure film about a couple who are going to adopt a cat with an injured paw when the cat gets released from the vet. The story is narrated by the cat who is personified using a creepy, yet pitiful voice. The cat is depressed and pessimistic about making it out of that cage in the vet alive, as the main story follows the couple's relationship complications throughout the waiting period they have before taking their cat home. The film as a whole is very sad and makes you rethink a lot of things about your current state of being. If you are already sad, don't watch this film- for it will make you more sad. It will make you very, very depressed. And if you're like me and initially skipped to the end to make the sad stop, you will be disappointed as well when you find the sad just increases as the film progresses. Above all, I enjoyed the film. It has many complex, profound qualities that in turn are quite stimulating.
I think you should watch it as well, just don't expect anything too uplifting.

"World War Z" Movie Review

Before I went to see this film I was not exactly looking forward to it. I wasn't in a zombie mood and I wasn't even quite sure what it was about. The movie started and I started considering the fact that I had not necessarily seen enough zombie movies to make an accurate judgement on them. And can I just say that movie blew me away. The emotion, the action, it kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. I got so into the plot I forgot it was a movie. There were funny scenes, sad scenes, action-packed scenes, and happy scenes. It had it all. The graphics were incredible and there was not a moment of boredom. I highly recommend anyone who has not seen this film to go watch it immediately.

"Killer Clowns From Outer Space" Movie Review

So this movie may be the strangest thing that I have ever seen. What is it about? Read the title. The film begins when this strange race of aliens that look like giant clowns land their spaceship in a field. A man thought it was a comet so he went looking for it, finding what looks like a circus tent instead. The alien-clowns' mission was to come to earth to capture as many humans as they could so they could harvest them. The seemingly cute toys and tricks the alien-clowns bring to the table turn deadly very quickly shocking bystanders as their fellow earthlings lives end in a pink cotton candy cocoon.  This science fiction horror comedy is if anything entertaining. It is so ridiculous that you can't help but laugh- But don't get me wrong, it is still creepy enough to freak you out, as well as scary enough to cause you to yell at the T.V. screen. It even gets a bit graphic in some scenes. Above all I definitely think this is one of those movies that everyone should see at some point for the sake of watching something you usually wouldn't. You may even enjoy it.
I know I did

"Keith" Movie Review

The other day, my friends and I were browsing Netflix for something to watch. We stumbled upon a film called "Keith" that none of us had ever heard about before. We decided to check it out. Big. Mistake. Keith is a 'mysterious' boy in high school who attempts to win the heart of his chemistry class lab partner. Seems like a typical high school drama setting but the unrealistic occurrences and actions by these high schoolers makes this supposed-to-be drama quite laughable. It is, in fact, entertaining to sit and anticipate what ridiculous thing someone will say next but it's a film that is very difficult to take seriously. If you're looking for a tear-jerking chick flick that will captivate you, this is not the film for you. However, if you're looking for something to make fun of- knock yourself out.
