Jim Squires (jimmycanuck)

Really neat flick featuring the debut of Tim Roth. He's a skinhead, which is supposed to be the selling point, but it's really more about his being an angry young man who doesn't want to conform to the system. He's definitely a confused little bugger as he runs around the whole movie with a black kid, so yeah, his allegiance to white power is a tad befuddling. Solid performance. There's one scene in here that nails everything you ever want to explain to troubled kids that makes up the best 10 minutes of film I've seen in ages.

Way better than expected. Sure it's totally self-indulgent (Pryor wrote, directed, and starred in what is essentially his own biopic), but it's also a great window into what Pryor thought about his life.

This is the quintessential John Carpenter flick. If there was a better film to come from that mans loins, I've yet to see it.
