Grow Up, Tony Phillips

6.5

2013

Movie

HD

Grow Up, Tony Phillips may take place on Halloween, but it has nothing to do with horror movies and everything to do with that crystalline moment in time everyone has when they realize life marches forward and theyre the youngest theyll ever be. Its a coming-of-age story, but this isnt an indie drama about a boy becoming a man. Its a comedy about Tony Phillips, a guy who doesnt think childhood passions should have an expiration date. This wont be teenage life as viewed from an adults nostalgia-tinted rear view mirror. This is in every sense a teens story told from the perspective of actual teenagers, both behind and in front of the camera. That means no hyper-meta dialogue, no larger-than-life scenarios, and no over-the-top style. This is all straight from Emilys heart.

The Son of the Shark

Movie

HD

Brothers Martin and Simon, not yet teens, are incorrigible vandals; Martin runs away from reform school, Simon from foster homes, and they always find each other in a seacoast town of Lignan, where their destructive behavior is infamous. (It may date to their mothers leaving the family.) Martin is philosophical, romantic, and poetic: he dreams of being the son of a shark; he holds tight to a book about goldfish his mother gave him. In both halting and wild ways, he tries to court Marie, a neighbor girl. Simon, with a pocketknife and an intractable will, seems more dangerous to others. What, on earth, is there for these children-becoming-men?
