Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Empire Records (1995)

Why wasn't this movie bigger?  It felt, to me, like a '90s Breakfast Club -- those a decade younger than I should've loved this to death.

It had a kind of "slapped together" vibe, which only added to its charm. There’s a lot of quirk and angst and (bonus!) it’s got a great soundtrack.

B+
