THE OSCARS
No huge surprises at all with the the exception of Best Actress going
to Marion Cotillard in La Vie en Rose. If you
heard the KWM Oscar Show, you know that bit of news delighted Ethan and
Kelly who had both seen the film and raved about it. No
Country was the best film and won, Daniel Day Lewis and
Javier Bardem were the best and won. Not much to say about it.
In my opinon the single best moment were the speeches by Glen Hansard
and Marketa Irglova, the writers of the Oscar winning song from the film
Once. Listen to the words of the speeches and
try not to be inspired.

TOO BIG FOR ONE NIGHT - CC7D
SCREENING DATE CHANGES TO DATES (PLURAL)
ONE NIGHT CAN'T HOLD THE CC FILMMAKING SCENE!!!!
The June 13 Kickoff Event for CC7D
was an uproarious affair where 36 teams (take a minute and soak
that in!) registered to make their films. Right now over 300
people are wrapping up their films for the Corpus
Christi 7 Day Film Project.
Who says there's no filmmaking scene in Corpus Christi?
36 teams at 7 minutes average length is almost 5 hours of films.
37 teams bringing their cast and crew and a loved one or two...that's
almost 500 people...before the general public shows up. So one night
could not hold us. An amazing success of filmmaking participation
before the filmmakers started rolling.
What that means is that the screening has been moved to two nights.
Those dates are Thurs, June 28, and Friday, June 29. There is no June 22 event any longer. June
28 will be Amateur Night, watching the amateur category films
and handing out the amateur awards; June 29 will be Professional
Night screening and awards with an encore viewing of the amateur winners.
Both events begin at 7PM.
This Wednesday, June 20, is the Film Turn In or the "It's in the Can"
party. That begins at 7PM and all are invited to attend. The filmmakers
will be rushing their films in and then we're sticking around to
decompress and tell/hear war stories. We hope you'll come support the
filmmakers as they cross the finish line.

voteNEW FILM SERIES BEGINS THIS
SATURDAYM*A*S*H MAY BE HARD
TO FIND
This Saturday, July 29,
we will be discussing Robert Altman's
M*A*S*H (1970) in the first of a 4
part series, KINGS OF THE INDEPENDENT 70's. Rent the movie now,
watch it, and listen in to MOVIE HOUR on KEYS WEEKEND MAGAZINE,
11AM-Noon on 1440 KEYS AM THIS Saturday. Love the film? Hated
it? Call in and let us know.
My usual cautionary tale: even if every
Blockbuster and Hollywood Video ALL have M*A*S*H in stock,
that's only 25 or so copies to go around. I do hope you
will take the time to rent the movie and then listen in THIS
Saturday. If you have the movie now or if you find it tonight,
watch it and send it back quick for others to maybe catch
Friday night.
THIS WEEK: July 29: MASH
(1970)
August 12: The Last Picture Show
(1971) April 26: The French
Connection (1971) September
9: The Godfather (1972)
IN THEATERS THIS WEEKEND
Here we weekly highlight noteworthy, smaller or independent films.
Check out moviefone.com
for complete listings in CC.
CLERKS
2After a week of ruminating over last weekend's
release Clerks
2, I am upgrading my thoughts from good to very good.
Kevin Smith is a love or hate kind of filmmaker who puts out a decent to
very good film every other release. Clerks:
Amazing: Mallrats: borderline horrible;
Chasing Amy: Very good;
Dogma: A mess; Jay and Silent
Bob: Good for the most die hard Smith fans only;
Jersey Girl: A mess; and now...Clerks 2. The best film
he's done since Chasing Amy easily. If you like
Smith you'll love Clerks 2.
If you hate Smith, avoid it. His most heartfelt, and best crafted movie to
date.
MIAMI VICE The only reason to see this is
director Micheal Mann. Otherwise, really? Miami Vice?

INDIE WATCH (or 'Movies that
probably won't come here')
Little Miss
Sunshine - Opens Tomorrow elsewhere -
Critical success at Sundance has a very high Tomatometer
reading. Very comprehensive website...check
that out. The film tells the story of the Hoovers, one of the most
endearingly fractured families ever seen on motion picture screens.
Together, the motley six-member family treks from Albuquerque to the
Little Miss Sunshine pageant in Redondo Beach, California, to fulfill the
deepest wish of 7-year-old Olive, an ordinary little girl with big dreams.
Along the way the family must deal with crushed dreams, heartbreaks, and a
broken-down VW bus, leading up to the surreal Little Miss Sunshine
competition itself. On their travels through this bizarrely funny
landscape, the Hoovers learn to trust and support each other along the
path of life, no matter what the challenge. (from imdb.com)
Wordplay -
Been out a couple weeks...but not in CC - Wordplay starts as the
story of the New York Times crossword puzzle, and the current and
historical creative forces behind it. But as it dances across the story,
filling it in as one of its devotees might across the puzzles, it reveals
an entire amazing world behind its practice, creation, and history, from
the annual crossword convention in Stamford to the breadth of individuals
who enjoy it daily. (from imdb.com)
TRAILER OF THE WEEK
