Comments on SIFF Schedule Out Now

Three cheers for "a nuclear teen romance" ... !!!
and "pro-Aristide gangsters."

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

Don't worry, I love lots of movies for oldsters. I do think The Illusionist was aimed at a slightly older audience--and young romantics.

The Illusionist was a delight. 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!
