Movie Recommendation Time: A Bag Of Hammers.

A bag of hammers (metaphor) - a burden; a cross to carry.

"... but the thing is, it's what you do with these hammers - when you get 'em, because that's what shows you what kind of a man you are. Even if you're not ready to be one yet." - Ben.

From losing a child in Seven Days (2010) to acquiring one in A Bag Of Hammers, destiny has an uncanny way of choosing the films Russovoir timely has the mood for. The poster was eye-catching and the cast were young adults; Russovoir prefers young adults as they likely to be in roles that are relatable and almost always distinct in character, a validation to be different. And there, in addition, in tiny print, Amanda Seyfried was cast. Seyfried was in a handful of films iconic of her. Including but not limited to Mean Girls (2004), Dear John (2010), and the lesbian kiss with Megan Fox in Jennifer's Body (2009). She's a bombshell, from her Jolie lips and well-endowed bosoms, the 26-year old actress has an ass and an asset to the film industry.

Immediately, familiar faces caught Russovoir by a visual blow. Sky High (2005) elastic bully, Lash, Jake Sandvig was a delight, now plays a major role, which he did coolly surprisingly. After Seyfried had her take - brief yet masterful performance - the plot strikes itself at a precise recklessness of a person hurting himself with a hammer. Chandler Canterbury (picture below) moved Russovoir to tears, provoked by the weight of the plot in which Russovoir has never seen before.

"I got Penthouses. I got seven of 'em."
Canterbury is a child prodigy. At 12, he cries on cue. Impressive. It's almost a shame Russovoir just knew of him with this film, basking on the consolation A Bag Of Hammers is the film that he's finally gotten a major role, noticeably suitable and deserving of such role.

Two charming delinquents live their lives with nothing ahead of them, just living for themselves. Bros before chores. They are on the faster lane of life when suddenly, 12-year old Kelsey came uninvited to their porch one afternoon with a rusty heart and life's been a flat tire.
