• The Dangerous Lives Of Altar Boys [2002]

  This is one of the best films I have seen in a long time. The title left me a little dubious as to what to expect but I was more than pleasently surprized by the actual film.
  It is brilliantly scripted story of 4 young friends in a strict Catholic school who still manage to enjoy themselves, and escape to into their fantastic imaginations expressed through their comic book, which echos their life - as they would have it. As the plans grow in complexity the danger looms.
  All the actors deliver excellent performances, especially the two young lead actors (Emile Hirsch and Kieran Culkin) who are well supported by Jodie Foster and Jena Malone.
  I would highly recommend this film to anyone who appreciates a good story and doesn't require explosions and car crashes to be entertained, as this film has everything else. Drama, humour and a touch of romance.

Set in the 1970s, this is the story of two rebellious teenage boys, Tim (Kieran Culkin) and Francis (Emile Hirsch), who attend a strict Catholic school presided over by the strict, humourless one-legged Sister Assumpta (Jodie Foster). The boys spend their time pulling elaborate pranks and creating a comic book, illustrated by the exceptionally talented Francis, featuring themselves and their friends as superheroes in a fictional universe. When the comic is confiscated by Sister Assumpta, the boys plan revenge, but this time their prank goes to far, and misfires with tragic consequences.
