Seedy lil crime dramas

[jim goulding]

I say "lil" because I mean ones that aren't that well known. I say "seedy" to mean some hard boiled characters. I got a gem that was even critically acclaimed but I'm gonna hang on to it til I see what you got. What's yer best shot?

Albino Alligator. Not bad, and that IS what I'm talkin about. That's quite a cast in that flick to have remained so underground and one of the reasons may be because it plays like a stage play more than a movie. That, and because it is seedy!

Come on, Skies. I know you can do better than that altho I must admit to not having seen all of those. Thunderheart is one of my lady's favorite all time flicks. You know that cat that plays "Jimmy"? He was a leading Indian activist in the 70's, his poems are published and good, too. I wouldn't be surprised if he got a paycheck as a consultant, too, on that movie.

Here is one of the few movies I actually own. It doesn't get much seedier than this. Also the film improves with multiple viewings.

You got that right! Here's a teaser for ya . . City of Ghosts filmed in Cambodia with Matt Dillon who directed and James Caan (I hope I didn't steal anybody's thunder). Natasha McElrone (that's undoubtedly a misspelling) has never looked so ravishing. The perfect girl for us romantic types. You saw her in Ronin if you don't recognize the name.
