Bully


I watched this movie on IFC this evening. I missed a little of the beginning while channel surfing but once I stopped I was hooked. Bully pulled me in and would not let go. It's apparently based on a true story, one that I was not familiar with. There is a ton of sex and drug use in the film, not that I am complaining. But it's the depiction of the teenagers that are so disconnected from reality and their totally clueless parents that was so engaging. It didn't hurt that Brad Renfro was in it. He has always intrigued me ever since his first role in The Client. Too bad Hollywood messed him up so much he ended up dead at 25.

So check out this film if you get a chance. It's disturbing, twisted, dark, funny and perverted. Just my kind of movie.
