Great Films III: Real Time

Real Time is the story of a compulsive gambler that was given one hour to live by a man hired to kill him.The film is as the title implies shot in real time,it's about 70 minutes long.

It stars Jay Baruchel as Andy Hayes the compulsive gambler, and Randy Quaid as Reuban "the hitman", loved both performances.

The film is Drama with quite a bit of comedy which is done mostly by Jay Baruchel.
Loved the film you should definitely see it.

Great Films II : Summer (2008)

 Description:
"Shaun and Daz are vibrant kids, wasted by their experience of education. All they have is their friendship and for Shaun his first love Katy..."

I saw this one very recently, it's relatively unknown, and I only saw it because I have been going trough some of the films starring Robert Carlyle ( A very good actor by the away).

Carlyle plays Shaun a kid with a difficult childhood who takes care of his sick friend Daz, played by Steve Evets. When Daz's health starts to deteriorate he is "forced" remember/relive  his childhood including is love for Katy played by Rachael Blake.

What i enjoy the most about the film is that it really feels like a true story, that happens more than it should.
I think you will find the same.
Here is the Trailer:

Hope you enjoy it, it's sad but a great film.

Great Films I : Adam (2009)

Description :
"Adam, a lonely man with Asperger's Syndrome, develops a relationship with his upstairs neighbour, Beth."

Adam is love story about man with Asperger's syndrome, and his struggles to cope with that condition in every day life.
The film manages to bring awareness to Asperger's syndrome without ever forgetting the story, by balancing and connecting both aspects of the story really well, and managing to be funny at times.
Both Hugh Dancy (Adam) and Rose Byrne (Beth) deliver great performances, and I also liked Frankie Faison (Harlan) who played the supporting yet very important role of Adam's ever-present friend.

It's a picture really worth seeing, you will learn from it and still get a great story!
