Many, many thanks to my Work BFF (who will now be known as Photo Guy for the purposes of this blog), for showing me how to correctly use -- and not use -- the flash on my camera. Check out the pretty little finch we were able to capture from my living room window today. My friend Dan turned me on to this movie last week and, although the acting is really, really bad, I couldn't stop watching this flick. It's set in New Jersey in 1961 and tells the story of a little girl murdered in church during her first communion mass.
Definiely worth the 114 minutes or so and it's Brooke Shields screen debut (several years before "Pretty Baby"). She was like 10 or something but was definitely one of the best actors in the cast.
The film also features a really disgusting landlord, played by Alphonso DeNoble (yeah, I've never heard or him either), who is the grossest, creepiest pedofile EVER! Complete with stains on the front of his pants and fifteen or so cats.
For all of you traumatized recovering catholics like me, It's a must see. It's been playing on Cinemax for the last few weeks. I suggest you Tivo it immediately.
