I looked at the free weekly a day too late to see that a screening of Wiseman's Juvenile Court was on Friday evening. So I did not see that good movie lately. Dammit.However, I did grab at the library The Exterminating Angel and Two-Lane Blacktop so I shall enjoy those this week.

Which was also written in novel form before Hunger Games.I was thinking about it. I've never seen Battle Royale, but I read a wikipedia page on it. The Hunger Games is making a critique of the power structure in the U.S. A friend is urging me to read the book so I'm going to. The movie isn't just about a bunch of kids that have to kill each other, it goes a bit further than that. I think it's the kind of movie this country needs in major theatres. Check it out, I dug it.

Movie was good. Not Cronenbergs best, butit's up there.Watched this last night. Fassbinder does indeed put in a very strong performance.Exceptional, if you consider that he's been in a grave the last 30 years.There's method, and there's method.
