"While I do miss the pop-up menus, I never really used them much, and I think it flows a lot nicer without them -- it's more intuitive to click than to hover. There are some issues with overlapping images (the rss icon above the "widgetbox" icon) on lists such as here (http://www.spout.com/films/De fault/Film_Coming_Soon/ScopeFo cusViewAll.aspx). and I'm very much a fan of the uniformity between blog.spout.com and spout.com, because it let's me jump back to my movies from a news item.

"Rachel Bockheim was taken aback when Ellen Page recognized her. "It should be the other way around," Bockheim said, laughing. Best known as skater Jackie Daniels for local roller derby league the Grand Raggidy Roller Girls, Bockheim has landed a gig in front of the camera for Page's roller-derby film "Whip It!" which is filming in the Detroit area. And Bockheim was surprised when the Oscar-nominated "Juno" actress complimented her on her skating aptitude. "She and (co-star) Juliette Lewis saw me skate at a tournament in Los Angeles," Bockheim said. "It was so cool that she recognized me as a skater." It's a major pat on the back for Raggidy girls Bockheim and Shawn Varner -- aka Dot Matrix -- that their skills on skates set them apart from dozens of hopefuls vying for a part during an open casting call in June. "Whip It!" director/star Drew Barrymore brought the production to Michigan to take advantage of the state's new tax-incentive package for filmmakers. Bockheim and Varner ha ... " [More]

By lopezdash in Michigan
"By John Serba The Grand Rapids Press A dozen projects, eh? That's how many potential films Rick Hert has on his plate as head of the West Michigan Film Office, a newly formed arm of the West Michigan Tourist Association. As executive director of the WMTA, selling the area's photographic assets to filmmakers is something Hert has done before -- but never so much as he is now. "I've been working weekends to keep up with everything," he said last week. That's a common predicament. Janet Lockwood, head of the Michigan Film Office in Lansing, left a phone message at 9 one night: "I do work long hours," she said. "I'm delighted there's a West Michigan Film Office now. We've been working with Rick Hert and the WMTA for ever so long -- he has been helping us without any particular affiliation as a film office." The West Michigan Film Office is a separate entity from the government-run Michigan Film Office. And the West Michigan Tourist Association is a long-standing nonprofit, privately fu ... " [More]

"The Year My Parents Went on Vacation (2007) Watch trailer Directed by Cao Hamburger. Starring Caio Blat, Michel Joelsas, Germano Haiut, Daniela Piepszyk, Liliana Castro. A twelve-year old Brazilian boy who longs to see his team win out over Italy in the 1970 World Cup match finds his entire world turned upside down as his left-wing parents are forced into hiding and he is sent to live with his grandfather in Sao Paulo's Bom Retiro district. Though his country is being held in the grip of a military dictatorship and the war in Vietnam is raging abroad, young Mauro can't seem to think about anything else but the upcoming World Cup match between Brazil and Italy. If Jairzinho, Pele, and company can just win their third World Cup title, team Brazil will earn their third star on the strip - a feat that no other team in the history of the sport has ever managed to accomplish. When his Catholic mother and Jewish father are suddenly forced to go "on holiday," young Mauro is swept out o ... " [More]

Variety: Comic-Con expands its ...
By lopezdash in Comic-Con
"Superman, Batman and the Hulk have long been welcome at Comic-Con, the annual San Diego confab where comicbook enthusiasts gather to geek out over the latest in genre entertainment (or "the popular arts," as the event's organizers call it).But Hollywood has been relatively slow to realize Comic-Con's potential as a launching pad for other forms of mainstream entertainment. Expect a major shift this year, as fewer-than-usual superhero pics ("Watchmen," "The Spirit" and "Punisher") make room for everything from comedies like "Tropic Thunder" and "Pineapple Express" to such family-friendly fare as "Land of the Lost" and "Race to Witch Mountain.""The same audience that likes genre movies likes comedy," says producer Peter Safran, who will push his Carmen Electra-starring "Disaster Movie" spoof in San Diego. "It's the right audience. There are few places you can go that have a targeted demographic."The hardcore fanboys won't feel left out, however. For sci-fi enthusiasts, there's the an ... " [More]

"I had a chance to watch a special screening of Crawford at the 2008 Netroots Nation conference in Austin, TX--which is the same place the film screened at South by Southwest earlier in the year. Overall, the documentary was a funny, often charming, and extremely interesting look at the way the addition of a single resident (granted, it was Gov. George W. Bush) to small-town Crawford, TX, changed not just the trajectory of the community, but the lives of its residents. " [More]
