Movies movies everywhere, and not enough time to see!!

Wow, we're really moving along with the film festival, and I have been so busy that I haven't posted in a while. Sorry, if you've been looking for something. Here's a few great films I've seen recently, that you may want to check out, some of them on video, some onscreen. I promise I'll be more timely in the future!

V for Vendetta - amazing. Incredible job by both Natalie Portman and Hugo Weaving, who delivers from behind a mask. Not many actors could really do this, and he proves just how powerful he is in the craft. Also, an amazing script with dialogue that makes you just have to rewind and hear again.

Little Miss Sunshine - This film is hilarious, quirky, heartfelt and sometimes really weird. Steve Carell is my new favorite comedian, and I'm happy he did this role. I don't dare give anything away with this film, so you'll just have to come see it at the Grand. How's that for shameless advertising??

Who Killed the Electric Car? - Another film we've got at the theater, and something you really do need to see. What you may have suspected about car companies is shown to be all too true, and actually I got so mad when watching the film for the first time - I was alone at the theater before we opened for the day - and I was jumping up and down and hollering at the screen. It'll make you mad, and might make you want to do something different about energy consumption. I'm buying a bicycle today.

Syriana - I guess this just fits right in with Electric Car and Inconvenient Truth. If you haven't seen this one, go rent it. I've had it for a week, watched it three times, the video store is mad because I'm late with it. I'm bringing it back today, so it; will be there for you to rent!! Great film, and a must see for pretty much anyone.
