It's out! Get American Violet on DVD!
American Violet is now out on video, and you can get it here. It really is a good movie, and it (properly) makes Baylor Law seem like a great place.
If you find the movie inspiring, send a note of congratulations to David Moore, Baylor Law grad and one of the real heroes of the story. He deserves it. In this clip, you can see David's character, who is played in the movie by Will Patton.

As I told Will Patton on the night of the Baylor Premiere, I never sit down in a theater expecting a good movie anymore.
I did not tell Patton this, but what I mean by that is I have grown so pessimistic about film making (and have come to doubt that most folks making films even understand what a good movie is anymore).
Having said that, American Violet is a good film. It does all the things a movie should do. It features skillful acting and direction, a good script, realistic dialogue, and an appreciation for the South that is often lacking in Hollywood productions.
I recommend the film.
And, I agree, Osler in a bolo is a classic.
