I'm watching: "Paris, Je T'aime" (Paris, I love you.) 2006 C'est magnifique! 20 different directors each filming one five minute movie (2 days shoot time allowed) including the likes of The Coen Bros, Wes Craven, Gurinder Chadha, Nobuhiro Suwa, to name a few. They are all film shorts, in and about Paris and featuring a multi- national cast. I am enjoying it very much! Tales of love, heartache, humor, fantasy and bit of tragedy, all created by 20 different film makers, each one showing their …
The Hangover
Boys will be boys. What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas. These are two of the themes running through The Hangover - an absolute joy of a movie that I just returned from seeing. Oh My God!

Ebertfest: Final Day
Sunday April 26th: I had all kinds of logistical issues on this day: noon checkout, noon movie, two pieces of luggage, an Ebertfest tote bag full of books, exhaustion, and an 8P.M. train departure.

Oh you can do check out at 7:30P.M. for a small fee - and it was small and well worth the convenience. I left my bags in the room until my departure for …
