The Perks of Being a Wallflower

A friend of mine keeps going on and on about how delightful this movie was.  Your thoughts, emawblast?

The Perks of Being a Wallflower

Can someone explain to me what this movie is about and not sound like a snobby douche? I've heard a few people try to describe the movie to me and they just make it sound like its only enjoyable if you have time to do some thinking about society and crap. Is it a good movie I can watch or is it some dumb indie film that's going to bore me to death?
I think what my friend Mitch is trying to say is that true love is blind.

Quote from: movie synopsis
When a fleet of mysterious ships wage war against the Earth, only the crew of the USS Iowa, the last American battleship, can prevent global armageddon.

This is an excerpt from Dan's movie report, for the full review go to:

American Warships represents a technological leap for The Asylum, the CGI in this film is very good, by low budget standards of course, not distracting at all. I am basing this strictly on lower budget standards, as many asylum films and other lower budget films have much poorer often times wrenching 80s technology CGI.

The acting is acceptable, not going to win awards, but Mario Van Peebles (Capt. Winston), Carl Weathers (General McKraken), and Johanna Watts (LT Bradley) are solid in their portrayal of their respective characters. Quite frankly, I am a white male, and I like a diverse multi-ethnic cast in films. Nice to see the two underutilized veteran actors kick ass even if they are older now.

The basic premise is the same as the big budget version of the film, Aliens and the navy fighting them, the filming took place in Wilmington NC, and the shooting schedule was limited, but for what they came up with the end result is highly watchable.

General Carl Weathers! This movie sounds much better than Battleship.

was pretty great. i thought it was hilarious. i don't say that i like indie movies just for the sake of liking indie movies. i would tell you if it was stupid. the lead actors were all awesome. great performances. the gay guy is really funny. dylan mcdermott has a small role as the stud dad. great love story (even though he's a freshman, she's a senior, whatev) i have a personal weakness for emma watson. the main character is the easiest character to root for, ever. good music.

I'll second emawblast's recommendation of the perks of being a wallflower.  characters really were fantastic.  Emma is great.  one of those movies that really takes you to a time and place depending on your own experiences at the time, in a "dazed and confused" kind of way but different.  highs and lows of being a teenager-type stuff.  and soundtrack is very good.

I go see at least one movie a week and this one is my favorite I've seen in the last six months or so, fwiw

What type of movie do you usually take a filly to for a first date, fanning? One time in college I took a filly to Star Wars. LOL, there was no second date (mutual, of course).

That seems weird to me just because major releases tend to be the ones with major special effects and musical scores that may be better appreciated in a theater setting, while many indie films could be enjoyed to the full effect from the comforts of home.  I think you might be a movie snob and not know it.

there's a group of us that go every Wednesday, then go out for dinner and drinks afterwards.. half the time I don't look at what movie is showing before I go, I think it's more of a social thing probably than anything else
