Go rent Junebug...now. Link above for overview. Seriously, this is a recent discovery of mine. Recent as in I watched for the first time last night. Yes, the film features Benjamin McKenzie (of the O.C.) BUT there is also a cameo by none other than Will Oldham...that's right Bonnie Prince Billy makes an appearance right along a star of teen soap opera drama.

Regarless, the film is tremendous. I think I was equally pleased with the character development and overall raw plot as I was with the cinematography. Incredibly props to the location manager. This inidividual did a fine job of spending time in ruraly North Carolina and really capturing the essence of living in a quiet, peaceful southern neighborhood. The Director uses extensive holds on amazing landscape and scenic shots to grasp your attention and truly situate your mindset to that of an outsider who may or may not have ever visited the South.

Go...watch now...you won't be disappointed. Until next time, Happy Sunday.
