movie review - Albino Alligator

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1997.07.23

The "directorial debut" of the fellow from Swimming With Sharks, Seven, and The Usual Suspects. You know. Won some awards. Kevin Spacey! Anyway, this was WAY over directed. Everything was wooden and stilted, and the camera director was doing every fancy trick ever dreamed of. Pretty disappointing.

Not recommended.

rand()m quote

Selfish leaders increase risk by placing themselves first. It's a fundamental mistake to assume that what is good for us personally is mutually exclusive to what is good for everyone. That kind of zero-sum game is for cowards, and in the end, we all pay the price for this type of latent, toxic leadership.

—Col. Eric G. Kail
