It's honestly random things I experience and feel like writing about for the entertainment of my friends and others. If you don't agree with me I really don't care, so please don't try to piss and moan about my pissing and moaning.

Fruitvale Station
I went on a limb to buy Fruitvale Station because I heard great things and winning a bunch of stuff at Sundance generally means good things, and in this case it's spot on. It's Michael B. Jordan's show and he crushes it as a guy in Compton trying to get rid of his life of dealing and move on. He's got a girlfriend and daughter and a close knit family. You find yourself pulling for him and he tries to get his life together and move on. The film follows him the 24 hours before the Fruitvale Station "incident". It's really a character study on Oscar Grant and attempting to humanize him. The cast is fantastic and it will probably make careers for Jordan and Melonie Diaz. It's not extremely exciting, but it's just excellent. He goes from being a nice man to a beast at he flip of a switch. It's very interesting and I highly recommend it to all.
Bottom Line: 8.2 out of 10. It's certainly worth watching however you come across it. I don't want to tell you too much about the film since I need to avoid spoilers of any kind. Soak this one in because you'll be seeing a lot more of these actors in the near future I'm guessing.
