NETFLIX | PURCHASE

If there is one thing we’re good at here at A&SB is waiting a really long time for a movie to make its way to Netflix and then adding it to our Queue, getting it delivered to our houses and then losing the DVD under our couch for 2 weeks. REALLY good at that. I showed off this skill recently when I rented the movie Son of Rambow a year after it came out. After blowing the dust off of the envelope, I proceeded to sit back and watch one of the finest movies I’ve seen in years. Directed by Garth Jennings (The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy) Son of Rambow follows the story of a young child in the 80’s, WIll Proudfoot, who lives under the control of a strict and forceful religious Brethren, having no ties to any form of modern media. His world collides with a local bully who forces him to star in his amateur remake of the film Rambo… (try to imagine never watching television before in your life and then have Rambo be the first film you ever watch. Your mind would be torn apart).

Imagination takes over, friendships are born and innocence is lost in this incredibly endearing film. Go watch it right away.
