I went to see "The Dangerous Lives of Altar Boys", which stacks its dramatic
deck very high but then can't seem to play all its cards.  As a youth film
researcher though, I still found it rather compelling, and quite
refreshingly mature in its depiction of early-teen sexuality.  I'd be happy
to get a dialogue string going on this film if folks are interested-- as
long as we don't have to deal with Leni Riefenstahl!
