You may have noticed in my last blog in the background of one of the pictures is a big shelf that contains hundreds of dvds. Collecting DVDS (and slowly watching them) is one of my many hobbies, and recently I've watched a few really good smaller name films. However though, one thing I find is I usually end up liking a movie more if I go into it not knowing much about it or not having overly high expectations of it. That said, here's a brief rundown of a few of them:

Cashback -- Best described as a mix of Garden State with Eternal Sunshine and maybe even a tiny little dash of Donnie Darko. It's a slower-paced movie that is a little more artsy but still very compelling.


Boys Don't Cry -- Hilary Swank pulls off an amazing acting job in this late 90s gem that would best be described as a dark, painful love story. Oh, yeah, and Hilary Swank plays a female who dresses up and acts like a male and goes for females.


Rocket Science -- A quirky, weird movie similar to Juno or Little Miss Sunshine. It's so dumb, yet satirical and witty all at once.


Let me know if you've got any other indie movie recommendations, I love expanding my collection with good movies that most people have never heard of.
