Late Night Movies That Shouldnt Be Missed

We all have had late nights where we cant sleep or where we are up with the newborn because they cant sleep.  Well, I have had more than my fair share of these nights recently because of the new baby in my house and have discovered that there are alot of good but not well publicized movies out there (flops, independent films, etc.).

Here is a list of some of my recent favorites:

• Its Kind of a Funny Story (Keir Gilchrest, Emma Roberts)
• Great film that shows that happens when you get out of your head and start living life.  **I should watch this again and take notes**
• Welcome to the Rileys (Kristen Stewart, James Gandolfini, Melissa Leo)
• Want to save a kid from themselves?  Watch this first.  Sometimes it works...sometimes there is too much damage to repair.  
• The Winning Season (Emma Roberts, Sam Rockwell)
• Life have no direction?  Drinking/drugging yourself into loserdom one day at a time? Watch this movie to cheer yourself up...or learn how to really destroy yourself; the right way. 
• Paper Man  (Emma Stone, Jeff Daniels)
• Another directionless lead suffering from depression and other savior flying in to save the day.  Now reverse those roles, mix up the actors and watch this movie with an open mind and you will find a gem of a film that teaches you what to do when stuck in a rut.

All four of these movies have EXCELLENT casts in well chosen roles.  In fact, they remind of what movies were like when I was growing up; well written, well thought out, well directed...a sadly lost art.
