Payback (1997) (TV)
One night a restaurant owner calls the police after she sees a suspicious man waiting in his car and witnesses a crime committed by the police.
Standard , but well made TV thriller, additionally interesting for teaming up Mary Tyler Moore and Ed Asner again.

From my vaults: Clarence "Gatemouth" Brown
Bio:

Hunger (2008)
Irish Republican Bobby Sands leads the inmates of a Northern Irish prison in a hunger strike.
Sparse and intense drama emphasizing the existential implications more than the political.
New Stuff: Nurse With Wound
Not actually a new album, but a compilation of otherwise released, but hard-to-get titles.
New Stuff: The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye
Since this documentary most likely won't be running in our town I got it on dvd..from France!

Walk the Line (2005)
A chronicle of country music legend Johnny Cash's life, from his early days on an Arkansas cotton farm to his rise to fame with Sun Records in Memphis, where he recorded alongside Elvis Presley, Jerry Lee Lewis and Carl Perkins.
Exemplary Hollywood biopic with some great performances and some tasteful use of Johnny Cash's songs.
Still agree with my original assessment.
