Wasted on the Young is an intense movie in the vein of Animal Kingdom but with a subject matter most similar to Brick. It is well crafted and the production value seems high for the tight budget they were undoubtedly restricted to.
The film is about a group of young people in an Australian private school whose lives are changed due to a horrific event that takes place at a wild party at the "alpha male" of the school's house. It is a very intense and engaging movie but unfortunately the ending was a bit of a let down and didn't really fit with the rest of the film.
The absence of any adult or authority figures in the movie is telling and the interaction between the perpetrators and victims is at times very disturbing.
It is a very interesting movie and it is a shame the ending wasn't as good as I hoped it would be but it well worth spending the time and money to see this film.

Easy A is not your average trashy teen comedy. It recalls memories of Mean Girls and even a few hints of the less impressive Saved!. It has a magnificent cast and witty dialogue that makes it quite enjoyable to watch.
Easy A is about a girl who lies about losing her virginity only for the gossip to spread around the school. Instead of correcting the rumours she goes along with them and in the process helps out a few outcasts by "fake rocking their worlds". The only problem is the gossip gets out of hand and starts causing unexpected damage.
The references to the Scarlet Letter are an interesting addition to the story and Olive (Emma Stone) plays out a modern day version of the story quite well.
The dialogue is not what you would expect from a typical teenager today especially teens used to talking in texting lingo. The humour is sarcastic and extremely witty and I loved every minute of it.

Adam Sandler movies have never been smart and witty, so I wasn't expecting much when I went to see Grown Ups. It is better than his recent attempts but still not great but going in with low expectations helped me to quite enjoy the movie.
The movie is about 5 former school basketball players who return to their home town for the funeral of someone close to them. The interaction between these former team mates indicates that although they have achieved in life they still haven't fully grown up.
The comedy is quite lame most of the time but there are a few laughs to be had and the supporting characters are quite good who includes Maria Bello and Selma Hayek. They did seem to be having more fun making the movie that we did watching but I brought my dad along with me and he really enjoyed it. It is definitely not a great movie but for a light laugh after a hard day at work it is quite good.
