The Art of Getting By (2011)
Hidden Treasure
Emma Roberts has now become the norm in indie romance movies. It's not bad. Just one day I'm going to see her as only one character. And it could be this one. She executed this performance very well. There where times when I wanted to scream at her character through the television. Which is what defines a well developed character.
Freddie Highmoore's only set back was hiding his British accent. Which at times was not done well, AT ALL.
But The Art Of Getting By delivered. With it's artistic New York teenagers story and punny name, this movie was like the hidden treasure on HBO, not popular enough to be on HBO On Demand, but charming enough to just make it.

GREAT STORY. Not great execution....
I had been wanting to see this movie when I first saw the trailer. I waited for it to come out in theatres. All of the sudden its on demand. OKAY THEN.
I'm not that great of a Miley Cyrus fan and there were times when her acting made me want to turn the movie off...
But I don't understand how this movie is now the worst thing anyone has seen. It isn't. Trust me.
I was not super impressed, but some of the way things were set up were nice. Although things got confusing at the end. Like some one was actually going to go somewhere with it, but got lazy.
I'm not say to stop your life to watch this movie. But if you're bored, its a nice time filler/late night movie.
Catfish (2010)
Surprisingly Delightful
I hadn't read up on Catfish before i started watching the movie. I expected another weird, over-done movie about a teenager trying to find himself, most likely in the midst of his parents divorce. Don't get me wrong. I love those. But with Catfish, I was immediately intrigued.
It pulls you in. You actually feel the emotion of Nev every step of the way. Which is exactly what a movie is supposed to do, is it not? Fake or not, the filming added affect to the situation and made everything more authentic.
In the end the movie all comes together, ties up loose ends, and rounds itself of to a delightful film.
