Shia LaBeouf: Hollywood Tough Guy in Training
While most Hollywood tough guys are out there partying it up and getting caught driving home drunk with their high-priced hookers in tow (hold on…I think I’m mixing my Hollywood tough guys with my politicians again…), poor little Shia LaBeouf is still trying to prove that he’s a bad boy, too. Apparently, battling giant robots and serial killers and hanging aroud with Indiana Jones just doesn’t cut it. [more…]

Babies and Booze: Just Another Day in Hollywood
No, it’s not exactly morning coffee time, but it’s afternoon Diet Pepsi time — so good enough, I say. [more…]
CIFF Report: Day 4
There are some people who take the entire film festival week off and see 30-some movies. I overheard someone yesterday saying it was his 36th. In 11 days. For those of you who aren’t all that good at math, that means going to three or four movies every day for a week and a half. And that, my friends, is insane. Of course, my husband did point out yesterday that these people aren’t actually writing about these movies later. They’re not frantically taking copious notes between movies, trying to keep track of details and form intelligent opinions of each one. And, well, three movies a day isn’t all that bad. And even if you see four, you get to take a break in the middle. But, if you ask me, it’s still insane. [more…]

CIFF Report: Day 3
When I got back to the hotel on Friday night, my husband, Paul, was already here—so there were two of us to get ready and out the door on Saturday morning. Fortunately, we also had an extra hour to catch breakfast, so I figured we could get up at 8 and still make it to the festival in time to park and meet up with John and Jing before our 11:45 movie.

CIFF Report: Day 2
Okay…now that the hotel Internet seems to be working again, I’m good to go for my report on yesterday’s film festival happenings.
I made my way down to the festival at about 10:15 on Friday morning, hoping to get in there early enough to take the shuttle in and meet John before our 11:30 movie. John had been in town since 8:30, since he can’t seem to sleep past 4 a.m., and he claimed to have gotten about the last parking space in the lot at that point, so I pretty much figured I’d be hopping on the shuttle from the overflow lot again—and I was right. By the time I finally got inside, it was 11 or so, and we had just enough time to make our way into the theater, check the dailies, and get to our first movie of the day. [more…]

CIFF Report: Day 1
I had all kinds of problems with my hotel Internet connection this morning, so I finally gave up, wrote up my post of the day, and left. But now that I’m back to the hotel for the night, it looks like things are finally up and running. So let’s talk about Thursday, shall we? [more…]

CIFF Report: Day 0
Okay, so I haven’t left for Cleveland yet, but today is still a big day. Today is Last-Minute Preparation Day. It’s the day to finish up some work while doing my final planning. For instance, I spent much of today looking for a new bag to take with me. [more…]
