After last week’s pissy Bourne debate, our friends at Pictures & Frames Magazine Lily and JM finally agree on something–Rocket Science rocks! This “little movie that could” is a welcome break from the summer blockbusters, a perfect blend of bittersweet nostalgia and high school trauma in the vein of “The Wonder Years” and “Freaks and Geeks,” with a little Wes Anderson-esque narration thrown in for good measure.Plus, the pair delve into their latest Netflix rentals–The Holiday, Zodiac and The Fountain.

| About the author: |
| Staff Writer. Long before she hit the View Askew WWWboards at the tender age of 16, Lily Percy was a fan-girl of the highest degree. From Capra to Hitchcock, Almodóvar to Crowe, movies always occupied her conscious-and-subconscious mind. During a stint as an intern at NPR’s Arts & Information Desk in 2005, Percy found the need to bring these things to light (and encourage others to do the same) and consequently formed SM's sister site Pictures & Frames Magazine with the help of her brother, musician, film lover and P&F web designer, Juan Marcos. Percy’s radio work has been featured on NPR’s Latino USA, “Epicentro Politico,” a Spanish-language news program based in Washington, D.C., and on WNYC’s Soundcheck. She is also a frequent contributor to MovieMaker Magazine and NPR’s “Song of the Day,” in addition to her staff writer position at JIVE Magazine. Percy currently interns at Esquire and resides in Brooklyn where, despite the occasional foul odors, she proudly frequents Park Slope’s Pavilion movie theater. |
