Murder Slim Review
OUTSIDERS

Being a real-life trailblazer - as can be seen in our interviews - can be tough.
Yet being an outsider has a good reputation in movies. Everyday people are controlled to the point of near-insanity, but the loons in movies and books can end up heroes. Sure, they can kill (THEY LIVE) or offend folks (Doug Stanhope), but they get the viewer to look at life in a different way (THE QUIET EARTH).
