In the Turfgrrl ranking of screenwriters,  David Mamet holds a special spot for Glengarry Glenn Ross, House of Games, The Spanish Prisoner, Spartan and my favorite car chase movie Ronin.  Each of these movies contributes exquisite dialog, and in the case of Ronin , an exquisite plot involving southern France and Audis. The Village Voice features an essay by Mamet that is really worth a read because he rails against the brain dead liberal. Which was a perfect read for me today following last night’s common council meeting.
