Visit external web page. Hey Homo!'s selection for this month's screening is the 1982 John Huston film Annie, adapted from the popular stage musical. If I were to tell you how many times I've seen this thing ... I still have the scars. Personally, I prefer Rob Marshall's more recent adaptation for TV ... except that I cannot resist Tim Curry and Bernadette Peters as Rooster and Lily. And why does everyone always pare down the FDR/New Deal stuff for the screen? Anyway, if you're going to watch this film, watching it at Alamo Ritz with a grown-up audience is definitely the way to go.
