movie suggestion #2

I rarely watch movies (I usually have my Netflix movie for about 2 months before watching it, completely defeating the purpose of signing up for the service since that averages me at least $10 per movie, but oh well) so when I see a good one I like to suggest it to others. And while I'm no cinematic authority, I think I have decent taste and I like to recommend movies that really affect me. So here in my blog, I think I'll share with you two or three readers anything I deem worthwhile to watch. Including the movie I saw the other day: Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills. It's a documentary about the trial of three teenagers in West Memphis who are accused of killing three seven-year-old boys. It touches on religion, heavy metal music and crazy southerners (ha - just a joke if any southerners are reading!), and makes you think twice about everything and shows the frustrations of the legal system. It's a pretty well known case, and they have gotten a lot of media attention recently - I won't tell you why because then that would give too much away. Definitely worthwhile renting if you are interested in a documentary - I was riveted for the whole 2 1/2 hours.

And Once! That's still my #1 recommendation.
