"I am a golden god!!"


If you haven't noticed I'm using famous quotes for the title of each post pertaining to the movie I'm writing about. All good movies have those key moments that everyone remembers. Of course tonight's movie is Almost Famous. It is a movie about a boy genius trying to make it as a music writer for Rolling Stone. He sends some of his work into the magazine, and lies about his age. He ends up getting an assignment, and a life-changing experience when he ends up on tour with an up and coming rock band named Stillwater. The lead role William is played by Patrick Fugit who totally rocked the part. Kate Hudson also stars in Almost Famous as Penny Lane. The movie was directed by Cameron Crowe, and recieved two Golden Globe awards including Best Picture, which was definitely deserved. Anyone who loves rock music will most definitely love this movie. Who am I kidding? Even if your not an avid fan of rock music you will still love this movie. It shows the ups and downs of being a rockstar, and also intertwines the difficulties of growing up. William is just one of those characters you have to fall in love with. He is one of those sweet guys who always ends up getting their heart broken, but he gets to experience this awesome journey while doing it. The random part is he ends up being the grown up, and basically the voice of reason among all these rock stars, and roadies. The there is Penny Lane, Kate Hudson's character. This role basically launched her career, and with good reason. Penny is the roadie of William's dream, but she is in love with the lead singer of the band Thus creating the infamous love triangle, but I won't spoil it my revealing too much. Almost Famous is just one of those movies that you watch over and over. It is also necessary to go on amazon.com right after, and buy the soundtrack. So go to the movie store, pop some popcorn, and enjoy the show.
