Every Reservoir Dog Has His Day

Since this is a bit of a political blog, it might be more suitable to write a profile of the new documentary film "Lee Atwater- Boogie Man," about the notorious Republican operative who came up with the infamous Willie Horton ad, which is opening today in Washington, DC, and presumably other markets. Atwater died at age of 40 in 1991, and he actually apologized to Michael Dukakis before his exit from this earth.

But, rather than focus on a film about a reservoir dog who trained puppies like Karl Rove, I will discuss the upcoming special screening of Quentin Tarantino's 1992 ultra-violent classic "Reservoir Dogs, at the Carousel Theatre in Greensboro, NC, on Wed., Oct. 1. The film is part of the Mixed Tape Series, which is the brainchild of my friend Joe Scott. It will show at 7:30 p.m and 10 p.m.

It's probably a favorite among sadistic prison guards and high school teachers, and in case you  haven't  figured it out  it's no "Breakfast Club."

I had a chance to see it at a midnight screening at the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va., a few years ago. There were actually folks who wore black suits and matching sunglasses to the film. Of course, Tarantino went on to direct "Pulp Fiction" and the rest is cinema history.
