The Sacrificial Running of the Nerds Begins !<\/p><\/div>\n

Charlyne Yi is a really<\/em> odd person, but her fusion film Paper Heart<\/a><\/strong> (2009) \u2013 part comedy, drama, and documentary \u2013 is an oddly cute effort to ruminate on the nature of love: What is it? How do you recognize it? When is it real? When is it dead? Blah-blah-blah.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also one of those \u2018Hey, let\u2019s make movies together!\u201d productions that some creative couples did which inadvertently preceded a break up, making the film somewhat ironic, becoming a snapshot of a giddy romance when things were good.<\/p>\n

Remember Bruce Willis and Demi Moore in Mortal Thoughts<\/strong> (1991)? He started out as a \u2018happy-go-lucky guy,\u2019 and then\u2026 Uh\u2026 Nevermind.<\/p>\n

Paper Heart<\/strong> works as a light docu-something, and there are some genuinely funny moments that bridge the docu-vignettes. It\u2019s also beautifully shot and edited, and the film has good, compact pacing which keeps the running time just under 90 mins.<\/p>\n

Although there\u2019s no commentary track on Anchor Bay\u2019s DVD, there\u2019s plenty of promo materials, music extras, and deleted scenes that cover the film\u2019s production.<\/p>\n

Among the deleted materials is an extended interview with a specific blonde tween from the playground sequence. The kid was already a standout among his friends, and his longer and more candid replies to Yi\u2019s fairly mature questions were retained in the deleted scenes gallery.<\/p>\n

He\u2019s oddly wise, suave, and often very thoughtful for his age, articulating answers even some adults wouldn\u2019t pull off with such finesse. When asked to offer up some advice to someone wary of love, he opines \u201cI would say take a minute and look at your life. Look at the person that you think likes you [and] find out for yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n

In ten years, this kid will have his own national talk show. Count on it.<\/p>\n

Towards the soundtrack realm, I\u2019ve also uploaded reviews for a pair of Rolfe Kent soundtracks released by Silva Screen Records: 17 Again<\/a><\/strong>, and Ghosts of Girlfriends Past<\/a><\/strong> (you know, the film where the poster art makes Matthew McConaughey and Jennifer Garner look like Photoshopped brass figurines).<\/p>\n

Kent, recognized for his own brand of deft writing, is better know for penning the title theme for TV\u2019s Dexter<\/strong> series, but his comedy scores are anything but generic. Check out the reviews to find out why these two are worth a listen.<\/p>\n
