The Perks of Being A Wallflower
($39.99 Blu-ray, $29.99 DVD; Summit)
Writer-director Stephen Chbosky adapts his own ’80s-era young-adult novel about an awkward high-school freshman, Charlie, who falls in with a clique of Freaks & Geeks-y seniors. Ezra Miller co-stars as Patrick, the openly gay stepbrother of Charlie’s crush, Sam (Emma Watson). Extras include commentary tracks, deleted scenes, raw “dailies,” and more.
@MikeE: I read that and couldn’t get past the ridiculous ego blowjob Lawrence gave himself when he thought of it.
Surprised it didn’t descend into a full rant about how Herzog and Kurosawa on their own are better than anything anyone in the west has ever produced. So I guess he gets kudos for that.
He also scores points for not going on and on about David Lynch.

“gripping piece of modern neorealism that never condescends or resorts to sentimental Hollywood parlor tricks.”
ROFLMAO
sorry, you mean a film that resorts to all of the crassest of French cinema’s pitiful stereotypes?
