Actually the last Batman movie was pretty good.

The first movie, now available from Netflix, is a low-budget Japanese shocker about a severely disabled man, played by just such a person, who becomes a serial killer. When the publicist wrote me about the DVD screener becoming available, I said "Great, send it along. It has to be better than the latest idiotic Batman movie". The other movie is far more conventional and deals with racial incidents at Belmont, a snooty private college in Vermont. It opens at the Landmark Sunshine Theater in New York on March 27th, as well as Washington and Los Angeles. While there are major flaws in "Spinning into Butter", I can recommend it as a serious attempt to deal with liberal racism at a school with an administration almost as boneheaded as my employer, Columbia University. full: http://louisproyect.wordpress.com/2009/03/24/late-bloomer-spinning-int o-butter/ _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l _______________________________________________ pen-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.csuchico.edu/mailman/listinfo/pen-l
