Few things are more decadent than sitting down in the middle of a work/school day and simply watching a movie. I did that today with this 80's gem.
I never saw this movie as a kid, but I remember seeing the video on MTV for "Live to Tell" about a million and half times, so I kinda sorta thought I knew this movie. I was wrong. For starters, it is a friggin true crime story about Bruce Johnston and the criminals that he lead around rural Pennsylvania stealing tractors and committing murder! It's a fascinating story and reminds you that 40 or so years ago, the world was just as dangerous as it is today. Something about that reassures me for some dumb reason.
This film reminded of a few other things I had forgotten: like what great actors Sean Penn and Christopher Walken are. And how Sean Penn is handsome in that scary, mean boy kind of way. Oh, and how Madonna once tried to be an actress a few times. Man, the 80's were good times!
