It’s that time of the year!  

This is my 6th year attending the festival.  

So far, I have 11 films that I am scheduled to see this year.

1) Much Ado About Nothing

Director: Joss Whedon

Principal Cast: Amy Acker, Alexis Denisof, Clark Gregg, Nathon Fillion, Reed Diamond, Fran Kranz, Sean Maher, Jillian Morgese

Thoughts:  Although it was a small production, I really enjoyed it.  All the cast was great and Amy Acker and Alexis Denisof were amazing together!  It was fun that the movie was film at Joss Whedon’s house! Definitely a must see!

 

2) Out of Print (documentary)

Director: Vivienne Roumani

Principal Cast: Narrated by: Meryl Streep

Thoughts: It made me think about how much our attention span has decreased over the years.  This is especially true for the younger generation.  It also gave me another perspective to think about who and what things are affected with decrease in book sales and increased use of electronic books and media.  Although, I would have love to see more of the director’s opinion on this matter.

 

3) Populaire (France)

Director: Régis Roinsard

Principal Cast: Romain Duris, Déborah François, Bérénice Bejo, Shaun Benson, Mélanie Bernier, Miou-Miou

Thoughts: It was fun and cute movie.  The main heroine was very cute and enduring! It made me want a vintage typewriter badly!  Great costume!

 

4) Ernest & Celestine (France)

Director: Stephane Aubier, Vincent Patar, Benjamin Renner

Principal Cast: Pauline Brunner, Anne-Marie Loop, Lambert Wilson

Thoughts: Most people know that I don’t really like animation… even if it is an adult content.  But this was super cute and anything in French is enduring.  

 

5) ¡Atraco! (Spain)

Director: Eduard Cortes

Principal Cast: Guillermo Francella, Nicolás Cabré, Amaia Salamanca, Óscar Jaenada, Jordi Martínez

 

Thoughts:  It was a fun movie.  The story was interesting that it was based on real news at that time. 

 

More to come!
