Hey sinisters, I've been lurking for quite some time, but now I just have to tell you about this amazing movie that my childhood friend directed, it's opening in the bay area this weekend, but it's been played/playing other places too. Has anyone seen it? The closest comparison I can make is stand by me meets gummmo with a beautiful palace-y sndtrk... Shot in luscious Cinemascope, it's about some kids in rural North Carolina and while it is funny at times, it's not a kid's movie. Beautiful like Malick and charming like a Faulkner story, it is indie but it sure ain't "Clerks". Hollywood could learn a lot from it about how kids really act. But, if you don't want to take my word for it.... GEORGE WASHINGTON (it ain't about the president) (Directed by David Gordon Green) The New York Times -- Elvis Mitchell #2 film of 2000!
