make you think movie of the month
My boy-toy and I watched the movie "Woodsman" on Saturday night and I don't think I have been right since. Honestly, this movie was excellently done and very contreversial. I hope that a few of you out there take the time the see it just for the ideas and emotions that it brings.
After twelve years in prison, Walter arrives in an unnamed city, moves into a small apartment across the street from an elementary school, gets a job at a lumberyard, and mostly keeps to himself. A quiet, guarded man, Walter finds unexpected solace from Vickie, a tough-talking woman who promises not to judge him for his history. But Walter cannot escape his past. A convicted sex offender, Walter is warily eyed by his brother-in-law, shunned by his sister, lives in fear of being discovered at work, and is hounded by a suspicious local police officer, Detective Lucas. After befriending a young girl in a neighborhood park, Walter must also grapple with the terrible prospect of his own reawakened demons.

Megan, please let me know what you thought of it!
added it to the netflix queue
Well aren't we all progrssive Rat.
Ok, kill me for pointing out the obvious, but he wouldn't have been allowed to live that close to a school, or any place that house children in particular. Good to see a movie about someone actually dealing with their problems instead of succuming to them and going back to their devilish ways.
Yeah, well, that rule is actually only in Missouri and a few other states. Believe it or not.
Either way I really suggest this movie Zan, you would appreciate it greatly. Also, my neighbor borrowed it an all he could say afterwords is "wow, I gotta think about that one for a while."
cali has the same law about living so close to a school. I was watching something on this movie and was intrigued by the trailers they showed, glad to see you thought it interesting..i will have to rent it..thanks girlfriend!
Dusty let me know what you think!
This is a phenomenal film. I was seriously surprised by it. Kevin Bacon really convinced me he's an outstanding actor in this one.
The scene where Bacon meets the young girl in the park (the second time) and asks her to sit on his lap is unforgettable. Good pick.
