Fine review from Howard, I must make mention of the amazing forest scenes, so primeval and chaotically beautiful. What a treasure, just as outstanding in its own way as any of better known natural landmarks in the U.S.

As far as the relationship between the two friends is concerned, it serves as a healthy reminder as to why I don't attend events like school reunions. 

No matter how well you once got on, life sends each of us on our own little journeys, our past shapes the person we are now and will reflect on our future choices. You can never recapture that once shared connection and will spend ages afterwards wondering what you ever saw in many of the people who were once your best friends.

Actually, I get the same problem with my older brother who seems to be stuck in the 1970's. 

Cheers Trev.

R2 dvd released by Soda Pictures.

Along with the usual trailers etc the dvd also includes the short film Slitch directed by Dianne Bellino, the only connection appears to be that Will Oldham appears in both.

Needless to add but Old Joy impressed me a lot and has become part of my dvd collection.
