Beneath The Outer Shell

Trust is a disturbing movie. with that being said, i feel allowed to continue without hesitation. Trust is about a 14 year old who gets involved with the wrong person she meets online. if there is ever a film that promotes justice towards pedophilia, this is the one. we see complete manipulation of a young girl and the fallout that comes afterwards. the movie is relentless with the subject matter and it doesn't dance around the issue, but instead takes it on head first. it's rather an uncomfortable movie as it deals with victim's family attempt at restoring to a normal life. i feel like i have given enough information about the film, or at least enough to allow you to figure out the rest. i can't imagine seeing this movie again, but it will reassure your beliefs in the pursuit of justice towards these child predators.

Margaret is a nice change of pace film dealing with a tragedy and those who feel or shouldn't feel responsible for it. Anna Paquin (from True Blood) stars as a student who may or may not have been partially to blame for a tragic bus accident in which someone was killed. the movie allows YOU to decide if the main character was partially to blame. the driver of the bus (Mark Ruffalo) is also under pressure trying to assure his innocence in the incident. we follow "Margaret" through her tragic meltdowns of guilt to her pursuit in getting the driver to at least admit he was in the wrong. it was an enjoyable film and easy to watch. i recommend it.
