Slog - Comments on SIFF Schedule Out Now http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/05/siff_schedule_out_now Click here for the schedule and upbeat film synopses (our guide, with at least 150 original reviews, will be published in two weeks). Members can buy tickets now; nonmembers have to wait until Sunday at noon. The opening night film, Sundance favorite Son of Rambow (here's the Variety review), is an unusual but solid choice. SIFF openers tend to be somewhat frumpy and aimed at the oldsters; last year's The Illusionist is a good example, though Miranda July's Me and You and Everyone We Know in 2005 was another exception. Son of Rambow is about a couple of mismatched kids...

Apparently, 32 is old; I loved that film. The star, Jessica "7th Heaven" Beil, is only 25. C'mon!

I do think The Illusionist was aimed at a slightly older audience--and young romantics.

I enjoyed The Prestige up until the ending, but most people enjoyed the ending so I am forced to give it more credit than my subjective opinion calls for. They really aren't comparable, so I'm wondering why I just made somewhat of a correlation.

Son of Rambow hit me rough. I hate kids. The same thing happened with Mean Creek. I'm uber picky about my characters, and movies usually fail to bring realism to how kids actually behave. That's also subjective, but personal preference aside, SOR is an exceptional choice.

I have yet to ever attend SIFF. I'm relatively new to Seattle.

I love how Seattle Weekly placed Miller's Zoo review on the cover. Bestiality's dreamy apologists: Brian Miller on Zoo. Is this back-and-forth hatred a regular occurence? It seems childish. I like that.

Wow. I totally forgot where I was going with this.

Oh yes. Movies. Yay for movies!
