After over 2 hours of reading my flist, it is nearing 3am and bedtime. So, why not spend a half hour typing up a post?? Geeze, been forever since I went to bed before 3!

Movie review!

Got this a few days ago from ebay. Seen it about 4 times now.

Summary: RSL is a Jewish prison guard, Henry Lesser, with a really short haircut (Pictures below). It is his first day on the job and a new inmate arrives, Carl Panzram, played by James Woods. Somehow an unlikely friendship forms...

Turns out, the inmate confesses to killing 21 people. He wants to write his story down, but the prisoners aren't allowed pencil or paper. So Henry smuggles in a notebook and pencil for Carl. Later he collects the book and takes it home to read. We get to see flashbacks of Carl's hard times as a child and from the various prisons he was tossed into. Henry is so caught up in the scene that he yells at his family for suddenly entering his study. The pencil is found and Carl keeps his mouth shut about where he got it from. awwww!

Carl wants to be given the death penalty and Henry tries to talk him into pleading insanity.

Carl: "Don't you ever turn your back on me."

Henry: "I know you won't hurt me." He sets his blackjack down on the cot and turns his back on a puzzled Carl.

Carl: Says something...demanding that Henry not walk away--they were arguing.

Henry: "Or what? You'll kill me too?" Furious glare, then marches off.

Very touching movie, and a hug scene!! *Giggles like an idiot and sobs*

He is talking to his wife here about...something. I think she is trying to get him to reconsider his job at the prison.

This is when Henry sugests that Carl try and plead insanity. He doesn't like that idea and...pokes him :P

I know, this is a crappy picture, but is it hard to find any from this movie.

I think you can track the movie down for under 10 bucks with shipping on ebay. I think I only paid 7 for my copy.

Oh, and at one point, Carl was singing a little ditty:

"There once were two cats from Kilkeny (I know I didn't spell that right)

Each one thought there was one too many.

They scratched and they spit,

They bat and they hit;

Instead of two cats there weren't any"

Or something like that. Got a nice little laugh out of it :D
