Slog - Comments on This Weekend at the Movies http://slog.thestranger.com/2006/12/this_weekend_at_the_1 The exciting local movie news this week is James Longley's Iraq in Fragments won the Gotham Award for documentary, beating out nominees An Inconvenient Truth (the Oscar front-runner), Deliver Us from Evil, and more. The more attention it gets in the weeks leading up to the Oscar nominations, the better chance it has of making the final five. (It's already made the 15-film shortlist.) Here in Seattle, Iraq in Fragments is back at the Crest ($3!) for another week. See it, see it, see it, or risk missing the first locally-produced Oscar nominee in... I don't know, ever? If you...

They're part of Velocity's NEXT Fest NW. I know, I know, similar names = PITA, but both are former Stranger Genius Award-winning orgs so I thought I'd point it out.

Me, I'd rather see The Holiday - very very good, much more fun, much better acting.
