Soaked in Bleach
(2015)

Worth Watching
I went into this movie with an open mind as someone who was a teenager when Kurt Cobain died. I wasn't a fan back then but I've come to enjoy Nirvana's music now.

"Soaked In Bleach" interjects actual audio recordings collected by private investigator Tom Grant during his investigation when he was hired by Courtney Love to find Kurt Cobain when she claimed he was missing. There's also forensic and criminal experts in various fields to give their opinion based on the evidence available.

The movie discusses not only Kurt's final days but the days after his death when evidence was coming to light that would cast doubt that he'd committed suicide. Not only were there inconsistencies in some of Courtney Love's stories, but there was also a botched investigation by the Seattle PD.

Even if you're not a fan, this movie is worth watching for the forensic and criminal pathology information. It's not about the death of a famous person, it's about demanding justice for a human being.

X2
(2003)

Best Film I've Ever Seen
I'll make this short and sweet; even if you've never read an "X-Men" comic book or if you've only read a few, you'll love this movie. It's got great characters, amazing special effects, and a plot that is easy for anyone to follow. Of course, you'll have to watch the first "X-Men" movie to fully understand "X2: X-Men United" and see where it starts.

Cruel Intentions
(1999)

One of my personal favorites...
I've always liked Sarah Michelle Gellar, and when I saw this movie, I thought she did a great job. Before this, she had only played one evil character, and that was on a soap opera. Sarah brings a whole new depth to her acting when she plays a manipulative socialite. Ryan Phillippe also turns in a stellar performance as her step-brother, equally shameless until the end. Reese Witherspoon, his wife, does a great job of playing an innocent, young, naive girl, but it unfortunatly mirrors a lot of her other movie roles, so seeing her play this character was nothing new. However, the movie is definitly worth watching.
