Archie's Final Project (2009) My Suicide (original title): A teen coming-of-age romantic dramedy about a media-obsessed geek and the most beautiful and twisted girl in school. (6.7)
Director: David Lee Miller
Stars: Gabriel Sunday, David Carradine and Mariel Hemingway
This is an independent film done to perfection while thoroughly understanding today's high school teen culture. While the story is about a group of high-schoolers, it transcends that age group as the theme applies to many other situations. This is not yet another high-school movie. The filming (cinematography, editing, etc.) is quite unique, sometimes borrowing from others, sometimes parodying, and using the technical capabilities of the media to the fullest. That said, the dialog (or the monologue, at times) itself is the most important part of this movie, and it is spot on. My Rating: 7.5
