Movie Review - Ask the Dust

Ask the Dust (2006)
directed by Robert Towne
rating: 2 out of 5 jalapeƱos
on the big screen at Malco Ridgeway Four

Towne goes for the old studio system approach to adapting John Fante's late, great book and makes LA in the thirties look just like a play. Not so good if you're after an atmospheric California, but great if you'll settle for a frequently naked Salma Hayek. I will, and I did.
