L.A. Film Festival - saynomore - 06-21-2006
I just received my free pass for the Los Angeles Film Festival from my sister who is on the selection commitee. I was hoping to see her new film "Walkout" with Edward James Olmos, but I hear there's still a lot of post-production left before its premiere in November to coincide with the anniversary of the East L.A. Moritorium, which led to the walkouts and riots of 1971. I'm also looking forward to seeing "Through a Scanner Darkly" and "Monster House." I'm also looking forward to seeing all the indies and experimental stuff. Sadly, there are only four horror flicks this year, and I think "Snoop Dogg's 'Hood of Horror' should be moved to the Premiere Presentation section, not the Indie Dark Wave section, so as to leave room for another real independent filmmaker.

P.S. I remember seeing "Evil Dead" and meeting with Sam Raimi, his brother, Bruce Campbell, and other cast members at the Midnight Premiere of SR's first horror flick at my first L.A. Film Festival.

Is that the same "Walkout" directed by E. J. Olmos and which has been showing on HBO?
