Movie Review - The Black Dahlia

The Black Dahlia (2006)
directed by Brian De Palma
rating: 4 out of 5 cravats
seen on the screen at Malco Paradiso

I can be lenient on a night at the movies. My expectations, for example, almost never consciously include dragon dildos, The Man Who Laughs, louche audition tapes for seedy stag films, k.d. lang singing "Love For Sale" at a lesbian supper club, Rachel Miner as Carmen Sternwood, boxing, or Josh Hartnett in the role of Bucky the Bad Actor. How could they? How could anyone's?
