Netflix is My Hero

Now that we've got the rescindance review out of the way, we can move on to an actual review. (I swear, this blog is not going to be purely reviews, but sometimes it will be so just bear with me.) Today, while searching through Netflix again, (thank God for instant streaming,) I found a movie that I'd seen at the library on DVD plenty of times but never cared to watch. It's called "Dakota Skye." It's about this girl, named Dakota Skye, from Scottsdale, Arizona, who knows the truth behind everything everyone says, and is kind of bitchy and cynical as a result because she realizes that nearly everyone she knows is a liar, even if they don't know it themselves. She has a boyfriend she tolerates and a best friend that is only her best friend because they've known each other for "the better part of 12 years" and no real academic desire. She is tired of being pressured to figure out her life at 17 years old. Then one day, her boyfriend's old best friend comes to visit from New York, and she is surprised to see that he doesn't lie. It's both refreshing for her and confusing. She quickly comes to like him and is more attracted to him than her boyfriend. I won't give away so much of the ending like I did with "Dare," because while both of these are worth seeing, this one is more evidently worth seeing. ;) Both are rated R though, so if you have either a problem with foul language, however humorous, or teenage sexuality, than you probably shouldn't watch either of these. But you're totally missing out on some real cinematic genius. Just so you know. ;) (P.S.- This movie has an excellent soundtrack, despite the intolerable boyfriend's band.)
