Movie #75 "The Education of Charlie Banks" is a coming of age film with up and coming Jesse Eisenberg, who plays it real and himself (in my opinion), and in this, you can really start to understand that love/hate relationship that teens develop in their search for themselves -- Charlie is immediately turned off by Mick's violence and afraid of him, but there's something about this guy that is attractive. The film seems meandering and episodic (typical indie tempo) but it does come to an effective (realistic) end -- but it's violent, so not for the faint of heart.

The Education of Charlie Banks
(2007) R
Years after Charlie (Jesse Eisenberg) fingers Mick (Jason Ritter) for a brutal assault, Mick shows up at Charlie's university and insinuates himself into college life, auditing classes, sleeping with Charlie's dream girl and pondering how his life might have been different. All the while, Charlie anxiously wonders whether Mick knows he ratted him out. Chris Marquette co-stars in Limp Bizkit front man Fred Durst's directorial debut.
