Film

I’m Reed Fish [dir. Reed Fish] – Interesting indie film within an indie film about [that's right] Reed Fish, who hosts a daily radio show in his miniscule hometown. Very creative, but can sometimes get a little confusing, particularly towards the end. Still quite charming and endearing. 76/100

In America [dir. Jim Sheridan] – Powerful film about an Irish family’s struggles in New York. Amazing performances by Sarah Bolger, Djimon Honsou, and Samantha Morton. 92/100

Baby Mama [dir. by Michael McCullers] – Okay so it’s not a really good movie. Or a really funny movie. But Tina Fey’s in it. 64/100

Literature

Breaking Through [Francisco Jimenez] – I hate summer reading. I particularly hate reading bad books for summer reading. That just really bums me out. 43/100

Watchmen [Dave Gibbons and Alan Moore] – Graphic novels don’t generally count as literature in my book, but this one does. And I don’t like graphic novels. But this book is incredible. It’s thought-provoking and emotional and sheds light on complex political issues. And, yes, it’s about super heroes. 94/100
