Commentary – Rabbit Hole
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor Why would someone with a 2 1/2 year-old want to make a film about losing a young child in an unforeseeable fatal accident? I just saw an interview with Nicole Kidman where she muses, as a left-handed person, at times her approach to the world can be uncommon, not only literally, but intellectually and creatively. She likes to delve into her worst fears and make herself do things that make her uncomfortable.

BURLESQUE (Movie Musical)
by Le Anne Lindsay, Editor I watched Hello Dolly for the first time around the age of 6 or 7 and have been charmed by movie musicals ever since. It’s my happy place!

JACK GOES BOATING – Q&A with AMY RYAN
Jack’s in his late forties, early fifties, it’s kinda hard to tell being played by Philip Seymour Hoffman, who has got to be the most unhealthy looking creature on the face of the earth. Honestly, he looks like an unearthed corpse, embalmed about a week ago; particularly with his hair matted and tangled with attempted dread locks. For this sneak preview of Jack Goes Boating, the audience was treated to a guest appearance by actress, Amy Ryan (Gone Baby Gone). Q: How was it playing opposite Philip Seymour Hoffman, while he’s also directing? AR: To be directed by your leading man.. um… Well, we had the extraordinary experience of rehearsing…

Ryan Reynolds in a Pine Box: BURIED
Paul Conroy is a civilian truck driver with CRT, a US company with I assume, government contracts to be operating in Iraq. Job hazards are a part of the deal when working in a country at war; however, it seems Paul’s job delivering supplies has been relatively safe until this fateful day when his convoy is ambushed and he’s knocked unconscious, waking up buried.
