[color=black][font=Book Antiqua]While I've been waiting to receive my movies in the mail, I caught this movie on cable called, "Box of Moonlight" and it was very good. I wouldn't say it was awesome but it was very good. Like a lot of movies I think the problem of "Box of Moonlight" was an editing issue. The cast was amazing and the writing was great but I think editing can make or break a film. In this case, the editing left out a few things that audiences might find helpful in understanding this film. I still think the film was great though. "Box of Moonlight" is about a man who is dealing with the lose of his youth. The film begins with the man who is a supervisor of a construction crew from out of town that doesn't have much respect for him. The man is often very hard on his son, bit of a tight ass, and his overly patient wife seems to be at the end of her rope but not ready to throw in the towel. During this time the man keeps seeing things go in reverse rather than forward and doesn't know what to think. After being laid off from his job he decides to go on a little trip by himself to go look at his favorite place from childhood. Only to find out that's been contaminated. On his way home comes up on this young hippy guy whose car is broke down. One thing leads to another and the hippy talks him into towing his car to the hippy's house. Little does the man know that the young hippy will take him on an adventure and help bring the man out of his shell. Like I said before this is a good movie and I would definitely recommend this film to any one. I do want to rent this film to see if there are any deleted scenes. This film is a little quirky but worth the watch. Please see what you think.[/font][/color].
