...accept the hateful and malicious attacks on an entire region of the country. Too often Southerners are painted as ignorant, backward "goons" who must be guided and taught by their sophisticated, progressive Northern compatriots. Left to itself, the South would revert to a mob of tobaccy-chewin', black-lynchin', shotgun-carrying' rednecks. This patronizing attitude does nothing but further convince Southerners that we actually might be better off alone...
...Sandy has told Case that Bruce twice fired a shotgun in the house, once while four-year-old Charlie was seated in Sandy's lap, another time as eight-year-old Amber huddled in a closet. "I have a problem with you putting your children at risk with this man," Case tells her. "Your little girl is way too O.K. with this, and that's not O.K.

In it, two Globe reporters described their experiences riding with passengers in the newly-opened "High Occupancy Vehicle" (that's HOV to you) lane on the Southeast Expressway. One reporter stayed with the "rabbit," the car in the fast lane, while another rode shotgun with the "turtle," the car on the regular highway. Contrary to the fable, needless to say, the rabbit won. Cars carrying three or more passengers can ride in the adjustable lane, which changes direction depending on the flow of commuters...
...main character's life. But an unpleasant scene involving scabies treatment may indeed be going too far, and director Vilgot Sioman at times seems to be laughing at the comical nature of the film: Lena, the lead, moves in five minutes from meditating topless, to threatening someone with a shotgun, to conjugal bliss in the fields of the lord. Half the time one finds oneself crying "What is happening?" as social activism is intercut with overactive socializing too illogically to make sense...
