movie review - Eight Heads in a Duffle Bag

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 1998.02.01

Unfortunately amateur film-making. The premise is that the gangster loses the duffle-bag full of heads he's due to deliver, so he looks for new heads which resemble those he's misplaced. It sounds a lot better than it was, by any stretch. I mean, this flick had George Hamilton!

Not recommended.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
