Into the Wild

"Into the Wild(R)-College grad bails on family & lives in the wild for 2 years, only to be killed by a plant. 9/10 homeless Kristen Stewarts."

Make sure you have your tissues handy for this one. Based on a true story, the movie is a mix of Hollywood re-inactments and diary entries of a guy who hates his folks and just leaves his life behind to hang out with nature. A little like Cast Away in the fact that a lot of the movie is just him hanging out by himself and experiencing stuff. Emile Hirsch had to lose some weight to appear starving, so kudos for that. The only other guy I saw do that crazy well was Christian Bale in The Machinist. While it's a tad long at 2 1/2 hours, the great job the actors did with emotions was worth it.
