ADDICTED, December 13, 2010
this is a great movie! i like these kind of crazy twisted movies that have you in awe by the end of the movie. i had a lot of crazy experiences growing up and these kind of movies take me back to those days. yet those days are not gone, i am just ignorant to them now like most american are. it is crazy, the number of people in the underworld of using yet can still pull off their 2nd life. thats basically what it is. nothing but living 2 lives because you cant stand the one you are stuck in, so you use to "take off the edge". dont worry, nothing i am babbling about has anything to do with the movie directly. just expressing what this movie made me feel.

A Toxic Little Thing called Love, December 14, 2011
Jonah, a high-school senior who works as a pharmacist's clerk, falls in with the drug-addled, party-hearty group from school.
Although Jonah's social status in school falls considerably short of the popular ranking, he has had his eye on Sara, a girl from the "in group," since freshman year of high school. Opportunistic motives impel Sara, her boyfriend, Troy, and the rest of their cliche to include Jonah, if only superficially, in their racy world which Jonah, likewise, uses to his advantage in pursuing Sara. As his involvement with Sara's friends evolves so does his determination to have Sara for himself, despite her relationship with Troy. One particular incident of cataclysmic proportion ushers in a sub-plot that serves as a platform for the movie.
Although a couple of the peripheral characters might benefit from some elocution lessons to remedy their nearly inaudible mumble-speak, the film's two main stars deliver outstanding performances. Lizzy Caplan (Sara), who resembles Sarah Jessica Parker as a girl, possesses stunning beauty and deep, soulful facial expressions that communicate wordlessly. John Patrick Amedori, best known for his role on TV's "Gossip Girl," shines in his sympathetic portrayal of a vulnerable person unraveling within the emotional maelstrom of obsessive love.
