dog pound

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1422020

dog pound is kind of like the juvenile version of felon, but more lord of the flies and with a less satisfying ending.  i completely lost track of the focus in the last 20 minutes or so, when it seemed to switch from being a story about abuse of power to a story about being in a system where everybody is a victim.  that deep insight was not brought to you by my high school english teacher, by the way.  rather, it is due to the patience and support of a multitude of friends and random passerby who toiled thanklessly to combat the deep sense of fear and mistrust about all things art-related that was instilled in me by my high school english teacher.  i sincerely hope that she is happily retired and has been replaced by someone who does not hate children.

dog pound gets two abusive everythings.
