Blog From The Bench

Well, it's almost that time, where I jaunt down to the University of Virginia to check out the Virginia Film Festival. Sure, it's not as glitzy and glamorous as Toronto, Sundance or Cannes, but how can you constantly drink champagne on a beer budget, huh? The theme of the festival is Revelations, or "Finding God at the Movies". The movies are eclectic but appealing. Among the ones I'm planning to check out are:

Tenacious D in the Pick of Destiny

Life of Brian (hey, on a big screen, it should be great)

The Apostle, with a subsequent Q & A with Robert Duvall

Chronicles of Narnia with William Moseley, a.k.a. Peter

Everything is Illuminated with Liev Schreiber

Anyway, that's to name a few. Feel free to recommend any others to me.
