saw it about a month ago highly recommended. Some might say it "didnt know what it wanted to be" but I've always thought that places the reviewer's expectations more important than the moviemaker's art. The everpresent Harry Dean Stanton stars as a huckster preacher combing the Southwest for willing pockets. Throw in a good ol boy and an impressionable kooky small-town Christian girl, and stir (alot). Great slice-of-life characterizations, and a good blend of hip and poignant. WHy don't some of you *reel* reviewers check this out and rite sumpthin articoolate. Give this a 2.5 on Mr. Leeper's -4 to +4. Aside to Mr Leep: Where'd you come up with -4 to +4 ?? gotta be the most unusual rating scale I've run across. and THANKS for all the great reviews keep 'em coming. anyway, it's shy on monsters and breasts, but great religon-fu. Check it out.
