‘Honeydripper’ Review

By

“Honeydripper” is the latest film from writer/director John Sayles who was actually born not far from where I live. He attended the showing of the film I was at the other night and I actually got to meet him! (more on that in my blog). The movie is a fable, set in Alabama in the […]
