In 2002 Richard Linklater cast a six-year-old boy.
Over the next 12 years they made film history.
Here's just a sampling of some of it's stellar reviews:
"There has simply never been anything like this movie." -Rolling Stone
"A one-of-a-kind movie. It touches something deep and true" - Entertainment Weekly
"A Masterpiece that isn't quite like anything else in the history of cinema." - Salon
But my favorite review, sums my thoughts up perfectly:
To sit with this movie and witness the concentrated passage of time is to watch,

I'll definitely be rooting for Boyhood on Oscar night
You may think it's 'boring.' But I love it.
Here's looking at you Patrick, Richie, Kevin, Dom, Augustine and Doris.
Bring on Season 2!
Don't cry because it's over, just be happy we enjoyed six more seasons than you and I thought/feared it would last! Besides it's going out on top, leaving me wanting more (ala 30 Rock) and I can't think of a better way for a series to wrap up as opposed to over staying it's welcome and loosing all charm. (See: The Office). Farewell Parks Department. Thanks for the years of laughter!
By now you know I've long fancied myself an honorary Brit. The fact that I got bloody sucked into one of it's most popular reality telly contests only confirms it. I originally tuned in online to root for our girl Michelle (Ms. Visage if you're nasty) but I quickly fell for Calum Best, naturally. I was also entertained by Katie Hopkins(!) and enjoyed beautiful 'glamour model' Katie Price as well. And chant along. GET PEREZ OUT. GET PEREZ OUT! Vile trash. Have I earned my dual citizenship already yet?!

"Who is Vivian Maier? Now considered one of the 20th century's greatest street photographers, Vivian Maier was a mysterious nanny who secretly took over 100,000 photographs that went unseen during her lifetime. Since buying her work by chance at auction, amateur historian John Maloof has crusaded to put this prolific photographer in the history books. Maier's strange and riveting life and art are revealed through never-before-seen photographs, films, and interviews with dozens who thought they knew her. Narratively gripping, visually striking, and ultimately thought-provoking, Finding Vivian Maier shines an overdue spotlight on its subject's long-hidden brilliance."- RT (Thanks for the suggestion Ryan!)
After hearing about the revamp and creative epic new direction it was taking (focusing each episode on our favorite Portland characters) I was in. Bring on Season 5-- Oregon or Bust!
Gorgeous.
Intense.
Chills.
Truer words have never been spoken.
Watch it HERE.
Joan may be gone... but her legacy lives on as a fabulous sassy red-head has inherited her throne. I was a bit nervous at the thought of a revamped Fashion Police panel. But I always had faith in Kathy. Luckily, it's still great and they're all doing Ms. Rivers proud.
"Over seven decades, actor and activist George Takei boldly journeyed from a WWII internment camp, to the helm of the starship Enterprise, to the daily news feeds of five million Facebook fans. Join George and his husband Brad on this star's playful and profound trek for life, liberty, and love. To Be Takei rests almost entirely on its subject's inherent likability -- and, for the most part, that's more than enough." -RT
When their father passes away, four grown siblings are forced to return to their childhood home and live under the same roof together for a week, along with their over-sharing mother and an assortment of spouses, exes and might-have-beens. Boasting an impressive, talented cast, This is: This Is Where I Leave You.
After four decades together, Ben and George get married. George is consequentially fired from his teaching post, forcing them to stay with friends separately while they sell their place and look for cheaper housing -- a situation that weighs heavily on all involved. "Held aloft by remarkable performances from John Lithgow and Alfred Molina, Love Is Strange serves as a graceful tribute to the beauty of commitment in the face of adversity." - RT
