Spitball Army

Little Big Man (1970):

• Picaresque tale (a la Barry Lyndon) of the American West in which spilled human blood is the color of Hawaiian Punch.

My Week with Marilyn (2011):

• Fascinating 100-minute period vignette with a greatly effective supporting cast, by which I mean Judi Dench.

Magic Trip (2011):

• Found-footage documentary chronicles Kesey, Cassady and friends riding a painted bus across USA in 1964. Best bit: an animated LSD trip.
