Logging

Film:  Killer Joe by Tracey Letts and William Friedkin

Good, but not a great film.  It is common for plays put up on screen to feel a bit small and this was no different.  Letts likes to explore the dysfunction in American families.  I think Friedkin does has done it right -- it's hard to stay energetic and interested as a filmmaker.  So many of his contemporaries either became moguls or obsolete.  Friedkin can still bring some verve to it.
