I went to The Lyric here last night to see Garden State and all I have to say is that it was a phenomenal experience. Not only was this movie theatre amazing and almost classical, the movie was just aesthetically pleasing. The humor was extremely refreshing and the storyline was overall pretty original... the ending however was a bit cliche, but hey, it was good enough for me. I really like these Sundance Festival winner movies. They are so much better than half the crap we see in our theatres today. The storylines are so much better, I'm sick of seeing action heroes and I've had enough of the scary movies as well and it's such a sigh of relief to see movies such as Donnie Darko or Garden State that push the boundaries. Overall, I think Zach Braff did a wonderful job. Who knew some guy on Scrubs could produce something so artistic? He always seemed like your class clown type of guy... I mean there were points in this movie that were flawed, but for Zach Braff's first independant movie I think it was very well done. I certainly enjoyed it. Go see it if you get a chance to, and let me know what you think.

PS: I bought the Garden State Soundtrack and it is really really good... I suggest you listen to it, but what strikes me about the soundtrack is that I've been listening to this music for the past 4 years.... and everyone is praising it. It's been around for a long time.
