Showtime

Good movies that i have seen this holiday whilst i have been a home are:
Bully, Grand Theft Parsons and Cheaters. Think all should check these out


Bully

Live. Love. Kill. For Kicks.
Acclaimed director Larry Clark delivers his most powerful film since Kids. Marty (Brad Renfro) is a tormented surfer who, despite vicious abuse, relies on his longtime pal, Bobby (Nich Stahl), for rides to the beach and local South Florida bars. When Bobby turns his unwanted attention to Marty's new girlfriend Lisa (Rachel Miner) and her best friend Ally (Bijiou Phillips), Lisa decides Bobby's reign of terror must end. Assembling a crew of alienated suburban teens, she forms a deadly plan to get Bobby out of the way once and for all. As the conspiracy unfolds, friends turn into enemies and casual acquaintances become co-defendants to a murder that rocked America to its core.

The emotional tax from that film just basically ran me down that couldn't spoil it by watching another film. But this film is very good. I kept on wondering where the film was set and i was like its Australia but they were talking in American accents so i was like it can't be....but it totally looks like down under.

Grand Theft Parsons

Based on a true story: it's better to burn out than to fade away!
There are times when it's right and proper to simply bury the dead. This is not one of those times. Gram Parsons was one of the most influential musicians of his time; a genius who knew Elvis and the Stones and led the Byrds. As fame and fortune came within his grasp, he died unexpectedly in 1973.
When Gram's best friend and road manager Phil Kaufman (Johnny Knoxville) hears the news, he gets busy to fulfil an old promise - to cremate his buddy in the majestic desert wilderness of Joshua Tree. The plan looks great but there are snags - he has to steal the body from under the noses of the authorities, then evade the police, Gram's father and an avenging ex-girlfriend, with only a stoned hippy for company and driving a psychedelic hearse!

ah just for the fact that Christina Applegate is in this

Cheaters

Chicago's Steinmetz High School doesn't have a hope of winning the state's academic contest. Their rival - Whitney Young - is a winning school that hand-picked it's way to the top. But one teacher and his students know they can succeed with the right about of study, the right application, the right discipline... the right answers.
When one of them steals the test papers, the biggest question becomes: should they cheat their way to the trophy? Winning will make or break the rest of their lives, and for the first time they have all the right answers - except one.

Made me question my morals on cheating
