Just a quick break here between parts one and two of the California trip to mention that I watched the DVD of "Mysterious Skin", a film that is a very good adaptation of Scott Heim's very good novel. The story deals with what can happen to kids that are sexually molested, a popular indie theme lately, but this film is brilliant. Those of you who have not been fans of director Gregg Araki's earlier work should not be put off; he has come into his own here. The acting is very good and you will be really suprised to recognize the young alien from "Third World From The Sun", Joseph Gorden-Levitt. You need to see this one.
