Fom Crab Monsters, Teenage Cavemen, and Candy Stripe Nurses - Chris Nashawaty
> JOHN SAYLES: “Roger [Corman] hired more female directors than anybody else. It wasn’t because he was a dyed-in-the-wool feminist. It was just if they had talent and they were cheap, let’s try ’em!”

I just watched Lone Star (John Sayles, 1996) and rated it 9/10 ~ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lone_Star_%281996_film%29?wprov=sfla1 #films #cinema #cinemastodon #LoneStar #JohnSayles #ChrisCooper #ElizabethPeña #KrisKristofferson

After #Matewan I decided to keep track with #JohnSayles.
I remember that the box art for #LoneStar when it came out on #VHS made me avoid the movie. It look like any other movie about #Texas cops. But is not. It is both a great film and a commentary on the #USA which might be more relevant now than it was back then.
#ChrisCooper is great in the lead but the whole cast is superb.

More films from the director #JohnSayles ought to be available for #streaming. He's a great filmmaker and an important voice.
Consider this a #PSA
Many of these films are hard to find and most are not streaming at all (that I can find):

Battle Beyond the Stars, made by Roger Corman’s New World Pictures in 1980, is Akira Kurosawa’s The Seven Samurai set in space.
One of the best of the post-Star Wars space operas. Proof that talent and imagination count more than money when it comes to making movies. Great fun.
