Kudos To Paramount's Preview Department!

Under discussion:

Mean Creek  (2003)
An fantastic little independent film that fell way under the radar (I only knew about this film because of the MILLION and a half previews Paramount love to put on their DVDs), more films should aspire to take the risks this one does, even if it doesn't exactly hit a bull's eye. One part character study, one part morality play, I particularly liked the stark cinematography as it gave the whole film a sort of rainy-day quality. The biggest and brightest star of this film, though, is it's wonderful cello score which adds to the melancholy tone of the film. The closing credits song, "Angel On My Shoulder" is of particular note, and a fitting elegiac of youth's innocence lost.
