Movie Review
Grade: B+
The Oscar nominations are out, and one film that is noticeably missing is Into the Wild, the acclaimed drama from director Sean Penn. Into the Wild is an incredibly interesting and different character study of one young man's slow self-exile from society, though given the great competition the film had in 2007, it's no real surprise that the movie got snubbed. Still, Into the Wild is one of the better movies of the year.

Tear Jerker With Interesting Plot Development
By ppribyl, January 26, 2008
It was a mildly sad story. It was interesting told at some points from his sisters point of view on his story. It also had duel plot development starting with a scene near the end of the story line and then going back and showing the devlopment of the story but returning from time to time to the later section of the story. This worked very well and kept it interesting through out. Fairly good movie. Myself I would give it a B.
