  • Waterfront Film Festival next Thursday

    Was this review helpful? [Be the first to tell us!]

    It's closer than two weeks away to my hometown film festival, one of the top 10 destination film festivals in the U.S.!  Check out www.waterfrontfilm.org for more information.  I always enjoy myself more each year.  If you go to Sundance, you'll enjoy seeing a few of your favorites in a town with just as much energy but is more laid back.  If you missed Sundance, you'll get a chance to see some of the most popular films that screened there AND with Slamdance film fest.

    The best part of the weekend is on opening night, Thursday June 8th where they throw a fabulous street party -rain or shine- and have top national artists sing as well as show a great film at dusk, all free save the beer of course.

    If you are from out of town, discovering this little town on the shore of Lake Michigan will be a delight in itself.  If you'd like more information on "how to" Waterfront, send me a note.

    Joyeux Noel  (1993)

    7May2006:  While there is no information posted on this 1993 film, I believe this was the epic tale of a football game played out by Scott's, French, and Germans on Christmas Eve during WWI in 1914.  Tragically sweet, we are all the same.  Beautifully done.  Joyeux Noel was created again in 2005, reference imdb page: http://imdb.com/title/tt0424205/

    exploring details leading up to the game and showing more the realities of war.  I saw this in Ann Arbor last week and was very touched by it.   I hope you like it too!

    Luther  (2003)

    I'm in the middle of watching Luther, starring my favorite Fiennes brother.  While the film interests me relative to it's story about the reformation, I'm also saddened by the account of the ransacking of churches and the destroying of relics, history, and artistry in the name of Christ.  I recently visited the Netherlands and went into many churches now converted to other uses, their interiors sparse due to strong misguided good intentions fighting hypocrasy and corruption of the 16th century Roman Catholic church.

    The original FOX animated series in 1994 was hilarious!  Only foresight would have inspired me to tape them.  I'd love to watch again.. all those zany hero's that shock people (Carpet man), capture crooks by digging under them (The Mole), and try to do well, but are just shy (Deflator Mouse). then there was the side kick, the account with the ponch who just wanted to "do good" by society and donned a moth suite he bought at a garage sale.  My memory is likely fuzzy, but the costume I made for Halloween in 1994 making me American Maid for the day is still remembered by business colleagues.. today.
