Two movies everyone should see at least once.

Hey, this is Ben and this is the first of many blogs detailing the best (and worst) of cinema today. I decided at first to review movies to be released every particular week, but, as it has been seeming the past two weeks, there aren't a lot of movies coming out worth mentioning in said blog. I have now decided to simply begin where I think is the best and review what I watch weekly and have your responses. I will try and touch on most of the upcoming popular releases, and feel free to recommend things for me...as this blog is to either lead you to or steer you away from certain films.

The first that I have to discuss would be my favorite comedy movie of all time. It was a difficult decision because there are so many comedies I hold near and dear, but only one I feel I could watch daily with the same results. This movie is Wet Hot American Summer.

The film is set in 1981, although the movie was released in 2001. It centers around a number of counselors, and some campers, on their final day of an eight week summer camp. This film literally has anything and everything. It has a killer plot ranging from ridiculous romance to a potentially fatal piece of NASA's SKYLAB set to fall directly on the rec hall during the talent show. This movie is ideal for fans of sporadic comedy movies. It's cast is reflective of old school veterans and new faces on the cinema scene. To put things in perspective, the camp is run by Janeane Garofalo...some of the counselors are Micheal Ian Black, Paul Rudd, Molly Shannon, Zak Orth, and Michael Showalter. All of these actors and actresses are remarkably funny on their own, so you could imagine them getting together for a project like this. But don't just take my word for it, you should really check it out for yourself and let me know what you thought.

That's one,
The other movie that is certainly a must see is The Boondock Saints.

A 1999 release that has literally become much like Rocky Horror in its seemingly fanatical fans. I certainly have seen this movie several times and every time I do I leave the screen as pumped as the time before it. Inspiring performances by Norman Reedus and Sean Patrick Flanery bring this story of brotherly devotion and God's wrath to light. The story follows the life of two brothers, Connor and Murphy, who go from working in a meat factory to the understanding that they were blessed to be the striking hand of God. Suddenly no one thriving on the underbelly of the city, and profiting from the suffering of others stands a chance. I have seen this movie a lot and I could see it a million times more and still have that same feeling every time. This was a gem that saw little to no actual theater time do to its release falling unflatteringly close to the Columbine shootings. Of course that's just what I heard. It's not gospel, it's gossip. But one could draw distinct connections between the trench coats and the firearms. Enough to just save the hassle and send it to straight to DVD. This movie takes top spot on the action genre of my top tens. But I want to know what you all think.
