God knows after Pineapple Express comes out on the 8th, theaters will be pretty bored of August. So what else do we have to look forward to?
Try and get me to shut up about Towelhead. You know it won't work.
BUT if you've never heard of Towelhead, this movie will be the directorial debut of the wonderful Alan Ball, who wrote the screenplay for American Beauty and created Six Feet Under. It's based on the epononymous book by Alicia Erian, which f
