Splinterheads



    A few days ago, I actually watched an entire movie intentionally and not for a class. Crazy, right? I bookmarked movies from the Quirky and Witty sections of Netflix so that the titles don't show up and I can pick one at random whenever I feel that weird urge to watch a movie. My most recent choice was Splinterheads. It's a little indie, and it definitely has an offbeat feel, which I love. Also, two of the main things in this movie are carnivals and geocaching (like modern day treasure hunting). How cool is that?

     This movie is indie until the end, which pans out a little too awkwardly for my taste. However, the scenery was nicely done, and the plot has a slight Hangover feel if you're into that. It was not one of my favorites, but its discussion of geocaching was intriguing and original. Basically, I'd want to live in this movie as opposed to watching it again (especially since Rachel Taylor and Thomas Middleditch, the main actors, are flawless).
