Bang Bang You're Dead (2002)
Trevor is a troubled high school student, thanks to the effects of bullying. This is the story of his fight to break free.
I’ve seen this a bazillion years ago, probably like twenty or close to that. Great acting by Ben Foster and Tom Cavanagh in this sad and realistic movie about one of the biggest problems in “the greatest country in the world”. It’s sad that 22 years after this movie was made nothing really changed. And I’m not talking about guns, I’m talking about rich boys bullying their way through high school and daddy making sure there are no consequences. Six popcorns and RIP America.

Coraline (2009)
Wandering her rambling old house in her boring new town, an 11-year-old Coraline discovers a hidden door to a strangely idealized version of her life. In order to stay in the fantasy, she must make a frighteningly real sacrifice.
Great little creepy movie, great for kids and grown upups alike. Although it looks like a scary movie, it tells a good story while showing some really nice visuals. The voices are great (and from good actors), the music is good and it’s a beautiful watch anytime. And just if you were wondering, there’s no CGI in this movie, whatever you see has been hand crafted. Seven popcorns and it jumps into the Movie Vault.
