In the fall of 2001, an uncategorizable film opened quietly in Los Angeles, but was snuffed out by a number of factors, not the least of which were the events of September 11th.

Jake Gyllenhaal stars in this, my favorite film.

Labor Day…is devoted to no man, living or dead, to no sect, race, or nation." - Sept 26, 2004: Mount St Helens may be planning to erupt again soon.
