HARVEY MILK IS QUITE A GUY

Title: Milk
Jan's Rating: 7
Time: 2 hrs. 8 mins.

Jan's opinion: Cousin Bonnie and I went to see "Milk" today and frankly it did not deserve the "A" rating the Cincinnati Enquirer gave it. Sean Penn does an Oscar-deserving performance as Harvey Milk, who becomes the first openly gay member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was assassinated 11 months later. The movie was a lot like a documentary and half of it was old news film coverage which was shot at the time of the riots when Harvey Milk was standing up for gay rights. It was okay, but not one I'd want to see again.
