Welcome to Rise of the Gay Cinephile's millennial teen cinema season, Scream As If You Know 10 Things I Hate About Band Camp (or How Millennial Teen Movies Taught Me Everything I Know About Sex, Friendship and the American Dream)!

This week, we're delving into the second half of 2003 and we're discussing Catherine Hardwicke's hard hitting drama, Thirteen; Gus Van Sant's disturbing thriller, Elephant; Richard Linklater's cult classic, School of Rock; and Mike Newell's insincere yet charming piece of Oscar bait, Mona Lisa Smile.

This week, we're delving into the first half of 2003 with a teen idol special episode, and we're discussing Harald Zwart's boring James Bond parody, Agent Cody Banks; Jim Fall's high camp cult classic, The Lizzie McGuire Movie; Robert Iscove's hilairously bad, From Justin to Kelly; and Mark Waters' iconic Disney remake, Freaky Friday.

This week, we're delving into the second and more bleak half of 2002, and we're discussing Jake Kasdan's fun dramedy, Orange County; Adam Shankman's bland and badly written A Walk to Remember; Kátia Lund and Fernando Meirelles' neo-noir masterpiece, City of God; Ken Loach's hard hitting British working-class drama, Sweet Sixteen; and Roger Avary's dark takedown of teen comedies, The Rules of Attraction.
