  • Must Go!

    What's Green, slimey, and smells like baccon?

    Hesher was a dark chocolate Dramady that tells the tale of a family whose been ripped apart by tragedy and is in desperate need to be re glued back together in the most gnarly way possible.

    I believe this was one of Joseph Gordon Levitt?s best films yet since he made the transition from television to film. I also feel like Rain Wilson gave a phenomenal performance and has totally redeemed himself (in my opinion) for being in The Rocker. Natalie Portman also gave a stand up performance as always, but I was disappointed that this wasn?t the film in which she refrains from crying. newcomer Devin Brochu who played TJ has the potential to be the next Haley Joel Osment if he plays his cards right and stays away from the hash as he gets older.

    If you enjoyed The Chumscrubber, Thumbsucker, and Spinal Tap then you?ll probably enjoy Hesher and whip-its.

  • Must Go!

    GO! but leave your pre-conceived notions at the door

    Hesher is kind of like a scatological, anarchic adrenaline rush with a good heart, a wicked sense of humor and a fantastic soundtrack... plus a few explosions and a trashed pool. Need I say more? If you can get past the veneer of frenzied and lawless rock and roll mayhem, there is a sweet movie waiting beneath about a family?s triumph over grief.

  • Must Go!

    Hardcore and heartfelt!

    A heartfelt, human drama that's also hilarious and vulgar the whole way through! Solid flick - see it. This is as unique and original as they come.
