On Halloween I went to Huntington 7 and watched Nightcrawler! I heard it was getting fantastic reviews, and the trailer got me pumped every time I watched it, but I walked into the theatre with low expectations. I find that when I do that, I end up being pleasantly surprised by the movie I'm seeing. I remember when I saw Transformers 2 I was pretty bummed. I loved the first one, but the hype for the second was built up too much between my friends and I. After it was over I remember feeling let down :( Sorry Quinton, I know how you feel about Transformers.

Anyways, Nightcrawler! Best movie I've seen in a while. I was in love with Jake Gyllenhaal's character, Lou. He is portrayed as a cynical, manipulative person whom the audience is supposed to hate. Honestly, I loved him. I thought his personality was the most human of any movie I've ever seen. It should be no surprise that sometimes people actually have dark thoughts, use others to get what they want, and lapse into moments of only caring about themselves. A lot of times I am sick of dealing with humans and putting up with them. I have moments when I feel like everyone else is incompetent and unworthy of my time. Maybe its mean, but it's the truth, and I know others would admit to that too. In my mind, Nightcrawler captured that truth perfectly. As well, most of the film took place at night in Los Angeles- only cool things can happen when that time and place is put together. I was completely taken by the movie and I remember leaving with childlike excitement. I highly recommend it!
