Yesterday I read the new Science magazine, and started the new Economist. After the Friday PBS shows were over I watched a DVD of the movie What Doesn't Kill You. It was a very gritty and realistic story of kids in Boston who get started early and grow up to be criminals and go to prison for a few years. One becomes an alcoholic and dope addict and neglects his wife and kids. This is a true story of the life of the writer/director, who eventually goes straight and cleans up while his friend goes to prison for life. I give it three stars.
