Miscellaneous Movie Musings

[NirvanaMan]

Saw Dead Man Walking finally last night. As soon as the credits at the beginning started rolling, I cringed. It was a veritable whos's who of whacko activists most of whom I have a particular disdain for. That aside, I was able to look past that and enjoy the flick. The ending is certainly interesting and the story does and interesting job of straddeling the death penalty issue...one that I am personally conflicted about.

This is one movie I've not seen. I admire Sarandon's work a good deal, and I love TIm Robbins, but, I'm not sure I can sit through this movie. But, based on your comments, I think I should give it a go.
