The Basketball Diaries (1995)
A comparison
I can't believe that Requiem For A Dream is on the top 250 list but this isn't. I never thought this movie would be so incredibly underrated! This was the only movie that made me completely swear off drugs. The characters are so young and vulnerable and you get to see them slowly fall into this world of drugs and violence and be completely swept away.
In Requiem For A Dream, the characters start out doing some harder drugs and you barely get to see where everything goes wrong, it just seemed to be like that all of a sudden. The characters aren't as likable and I thought it ended a bit abruptly leaving us no knowledge of what is to become of the characters. I have to give it props though for some brilliant scenes like when they all go into the fetal position at the end.
Basketball Diaries on the other hand gets you involved and attached to the characters. You get to watch them throw away their basketball careers and their lives. The part where Lewis is going through withdrawal is so real and horrible. And after he goes through all that pain, he throws it away and goes straight back to the drugs. This movie is so incredible, I really wish more people would see it and think the same.

The Running Man (1987)
Worst movie ever
I honestly despised this movie. It was one of the worst pieces of crap I have ever seen. When a movie is based on a book, shouldn't it at least be remotely like the book? The book "The Running Man" by Stephen King, writing as Richard Bachman is one of my favorite books, and I don't even really like futuristic books. After I read it, I thought I had to see the movie which I terribly regret. When I saw how this movie completely butchers the brilliance of the book I was extremely p***ed off. Anyone who wants to see a GOOD action packed Arnold movie, should just stick with the "Terminator" movies because this one is a worthless piece of crap! Shay
Fastlane (2002)
I love this show
OK i was amazed when i first watched this show, the 2 guys make perfect bad cops, the action is great and so is the acting. I love this show a lot, and i hope i never gets canceled. Peter Facinelli is so good in his role. Plus hes pretty hot. He also sounds alot like Tom Cruise...did anyone else notice that?
