On your mark, get set...
Cinequest starts tomorrow!!! Opening night movie is "The Namesake" directed and produced by Mira Nair who also did Mississippi Masala and Monsoon Wedding. Monsoon Wedding is one of my very favorite movies ever, so I can't wait to see this one. Most of the movies I'll be seeing over the next twelve days (we have over 30 on our schedule) you will never ever have a chance to see. But I'm going to talk about them anyway, because it's my blog and I can if I want to. Also, I was surprised last year at how many people from Cinequest found this blog last year and made friends with me. Plus - you never know what movies you WILL be able to see. Last year we saw Thank You for Smoking and Water, both later available in theaters and DVD. And several of the movies actually became available on DVD later. The funnest part of course is the shorts. It's always very cool when Oscar time comes around and I know I am one of the few people in the world who actually SAW some of those shorts! Last year at Cinequest we saw Maestro, which was nominated for an animated Oscar this year. And last year's Oscar winner we also saw at Cinequest. So that's pretty cool. This year CatieCake is going to Cinequest too - I hope she sees some good movies since it was my babbling that convinced her to go, haha. I even told my Spanish professor about Cinequest - they are having a Latino Film Showcase this year - and now the class gets extra credit if we go see a film in español. YAYYYYY. And Spike also gets credit in his film class for going to Cinequest. We had to make up a spreadsheet to organize our time for the 12 days... I haven't even told Scott this, but we even booked a room downtown for each Saturday night so we can stay up for even the midnight shows and won't have to drive home. Scott may send us to movie rehab if he finds out... Anyway, Tomorrow = Movies, and for eleven days after. Be prepared to be bored or interested, but either way, that's where I'll be.

Movie Rehab?? Do they have that? Don't let Hubby know because he'll be checking me in, since I have a love of all things cinematic. Have Fun!! Posted by: Kat at February 27, 2007 8:06 PMPost a comment
