1.Ghost World [2001] starring: Thora Birch, Scarlett Johansson, Steve Buscemi, Brad Renfro, Illeana Douglas directed by: Terry Zwigoff September 09, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
Ghost World is a unique, disarming little oddball of a movie, played at a pace sufficiently light and deft to give us time to breathe in the delightful air of such sympathetic and quirky misfits. Not a great deal happens perhaps, yet each scene gives us a gentle little nudge that takes us gradually out of our cynical expectations and makes the film more watchable and satsifying than many an overwrought plot. I found the film a pleasure from start to finish. Nearly every character is a displaced outsider struggling to fit in, from the teenage heroines to the 40 something loner Seymore. In the opening scenes, it seems we might simply be subjected to another hip teen movie revelling in a distasteful mockery and hatred of the older ... Read More:

2.Shawshank Redemption, The / Stand By Me / Apt Pupil [1999] starring: Brad Renfro, Ian McKellen, Joshua Jackson, Mickey Cottrell, Michael Reid MacKay directed by: Bryan Singer September 03, 2001

I have not read the book so cannot compare this to the text; however, as a stand alone film it works very well. Brad Renfro is very convincing as a teenager who is both attracted and repelled by Ian Mckellan's character's past. What I liked about the film was that it was not delivered as a moral tale; it was more a study on obsession and what evil means. The ending was very unsettling and stayed with me. Also, whilst it talked about the holocaust it did so through the character's conversations and brief photos which made it all the more disturbing without being voyeuristic or fetishistic. I'm glad I didn't see the US trailer before seeing the film and would recommend avoiding it if it comes on your DVD as it totally gives ... Read More:

5.Bully [2002] starring: Brad Renfro, Nick Stahl, Rachel Miner, Bijou Phillips, Leo Fitzpatrick directed by: Larry Clark June 16, 2003
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £2.50
i saw this film on e4 a few years ago: it was early morning and I was doing a nightshift with an older woman who had kids. The experience didn't shock her, nor me, and served only to grip us both. What else can be said about this film? It's a product of a man who came from a photography background, it can be expected that he'd have a tendency to let his camera linger over beautifully broken subjects. The 'homoeroticism' within this film seemed to only serve as a device to show the perversion of the character, because while homosexuality is not perverse, the characters reaction showed just how he felt about the action being viewed. The scene in which the two leads are in the gay dance club shows just how the Bobby forces a ... Read More:

This is in my top 5 greatest ever movies, falling only behind Goodfellas, Stand By Me and Casino. I watched the film first and then read the book, and I don't think it matters which way you do it because they are both outstanding masterpieces. This film will make you feel nauseas, it will make you frustrated, angry, upset, relieved and then leave you with a tear in your eye. I challenge you to hate a movie character from any other movie as much as you hate the guards in this film, you will rebel and support a murder in cold blood, and be thankful when the guilty murderers walk free at the end of it. It is a story of revenge, bitter yet just revenge. I highly recommend this movie to literally anyone, if you have an interest ... Read More:

8.Happy Campers [2001] starring: Brad Renfro, Dominique Swain, Keram Malicki-Sánchez, Emily Bergl, Jordan Bridges directed by: Daniel Waters November 11, 2002
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £0.01
This would be a cute comedy about a bunch of likable characters, except that it's not very cute, not very funny, and the characters aren't very likable. I felt that the movie was trying hard to be a hilarious teen comedy, while at the same time being serious about teen sexual angst and unrequited love. The result was that it fell between the two, and fell pretty hard, failing miserably at both. People who come to this movie expecting some sort of laugh-a-minute romp will be disappointed by the occasional long attempts at seriousness, and will find themselves reaching for the fast-forward button. Those who are looking for a semi-serious teen movie will just be turned off by the contrived and ludicrous situations created in an attempt at ... Read More:

9.The Client [1994] starring: Susan Sarandon, Tommy Lee Jones, Mary-Louise Parker, Anthony LaPaglia, J.T. Walsh directed by: Joel Schumacher October 02, 1995

You gotta hand it to John Grisham: Nobody has the various lawyer cliches down pat as well as him - in fact, it almost seems as if he invented or at least, reinvented many of them. As in most of his thrillers, we get a whole handful in "The Client": the slimy mafia lawyer, the power-hungry politician-to-be, the self-aggrandizing ambulance-chaser, the grandfatherly judge and, of course, the motherly family law practitioner who turned to legal practice after overcoming a few troubles of her own. I think that leaves only the greedy corporate attorney, his cousin the corrupt judge and their perpetual antagonists, the starving public interest lawyer and the inquisitive student prodigy unrepresented here; but still, not a bad collection for a single thriller, even by Grisham. (And that ... Read More:

A faithful adaptation of the novel. Jones and Sarandon are excellent. Sometimes the diction could have been clearer.
