We peeped A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints at Angelika Thearte (Houston and Mercer) yesterday and WE RECCOMEND IT. Peep the trailer here. The movie is based on the Autobiographical book by Dito Montiel (book totes the same title as the movie) and traces his childhood/teen years growing up in late 80s Astoria, Queens-- the beef, the shawtys, the weed, the 40s, dreams and the bullshit--- trying to come up/ coming of age. All of us can relate. Its also very funny. And some of the music is dope.

Montiel's directing highlights the tension, stress and pain each character endures throughout the film and the actors do their thing as well: Chazz Palminteri (Bronx Tale, mad italian mob flicks), Rosario Dawson (KIDS,etc) , Robert Downey Jr, Shia LaBeouf, Channing Tatum...and homegirl from Raising Victor Vargas plays Dito's teenage love. Dito struggles to dodge the vices and violence Queens deals him, stay sane, keep his family happy, love, and chill but he seems he can never find a break...until that is....

ITS WORTH $10.75, trust us. Visit Angelika's Website here or call 1-212-777-FILM for showtimes. And they got bomb brownies there too... holla.
