DESCRIPTION:Friday, May 4, 2007.  7:00 PM.  Location: Fools Foundation – 1025 19th 
 St, Sacramento.  Off of K St between 19th & 20th next to the back end of 
 Old Spaghetti Factory.  Admission: $5.00.  \n\nThis 1996 low-budget black 
 comedy indie from Executive Producer Oliver Stone features Reese 
 Witherspoon as the nearly illiterate Vanessa who flees her crack-addicted 
 prostitute mother (Amanda Plummer) and abusive stepfather (Michael T. 
 Weiss) in search of her grandmother.  Yep, it’s Little Red Riding Hood 
 all over again, but this time around, the Wolf is a lot worse.  When 
 Vanessa’s car breaks down, she’s picked up by youth counselor Bob 
 Wolverton (Keifer Sutherland) who turns out to be the serial killer known 
 as the I-5 Murderer.  Vanessa violently turns the tables on him and 
 continues on her way to grandma’s house (or rather, trailer park).  A 
 side trip into the criminal justice system ensues along the way and finally 
 culminates in a violent climax.  Simultaneously funny, chilling and at 
 times disturbing, Freeway is an odd and unique presentation of our culture 
 of violence.  While not really gory, this is also not necessarily for the 
 weak of stomach.  Also with Brooke Shields, Brittany Murphy and Dan Hedaya. 
  Nominated for the Grand Jury Prize at the 1996 Sundance Film 
 Festival.\n\n"Freeway'' illuminates our secret appetites. Like all good 
 satire, it starts where the others end. And its actors wisely never ever 
 act as if they're in on the joke.  Like it or hate it (or both), you have 
 to admire its skill - Roger Ebert\n\n”Freeway” is rude in the way the 
 truth is rude - only funnier. The movie seduces with its humor, all the 
 while presenting a realized vision of a harsh, absurd world. Has wit and 
 complexity. -- San Francisco Chronicle\n\nWith one foot in the grind house 
 and one in the art house, the smarts in "Freeway" are more than equal to 
 its visceral kick. The most impressive debut film I've seen all year. -- 
 Salon.com\n\nDigital projection on to a big screen.  Seating is on folding 
 chairs – feel free to bring a pillow or cushion.\n\nYou can always check
