Sunshine Cleaning

Seems like a lot of movies have come out now that simply tell a story, and good ones at that. We don't have to always have the bright lights and buildings exploding, and certainly we can have great acting without having the names in the staring roles to be "A" list stars. Just give us a compelling story for at least an hour and a half and you'll make some of us happy. Sunshine Cleaning does that for me, I loved how simple the movie was and how it was just about two sisters who were trying to make a life for themselves and both struggling with the past that they shared as well as the fact that they were "living in the past". Although, I must say the movie left some holes open, but I guess that makes it our job to create some more compelling stories to wrap them up.

Chaos Theory

If looking for a movie that makes a great attempt at taking a look at how life really is, or better yet a parallel of how life really is. Chaos Theory is a great choice. A telling perspective of no matter how one decides to live their lives, we all have the same loving, deceitful, adoring, self-indulgent, forgiving heart. Whether living life by making complete and utter choices by rational thought or by going on a whim and living life for the pure sake of living life, all of us make decisions as to how we live. All of us make decisions as to how we love, decieve, adore, and most importantly forgive. Chaos Theory illustrates the chaos of how we choose to live has absolutely no comparison to the chaos of our own heart.
