Well, looks like ol Roger Ebert is throwing a little ol Film Fest of his own to help a grand old theater. He's showing 10 films, which will cost ya $30 bucks (for all ten, not each). I've seen a few of the films, and I'd have to agree with him on each of them. Specifically SURENDER DOROTHY and HOUSEHOLD SAINTS. These were a pair of films that were... quite honestly overlooked on the festival circuit. And... for all you geeks out there.... He's showing TRON. If it's the same print that was shown here in Austin.... Well... It's a gorgeous print. There is literally nothing cooler than watching TRON on the big screen.

Hellllooooo Harry dollink!!!

Are you a Roger Ebert "fan?" (I sure am!!) Have you heard about the "Overlooked Film Festival" that he's hosting here in Champaign, Illinois on April 21-25? It sounds reallllly interesting and I can hardly wait to see it. (And it _just_ might (barely) provide enough excitement to get me through the last couple weeks before 'The Phantom Menace' comes out!!! :::grin:::) Here's the Festival's website address if you want more info:

There are ten films (I think) scheduled to be shown, and there are supposed to be seminars, too, so you ought to check it out!! The Festival is taking place in a really cool, really grand old theater ("The Virginia") that we're trying to renovate, and part of the proceeds from the Festival will go towards reviving this "Lovely Lady." :) A Festival Pass is only $30.00, so that's not too bad a deal, and hotels are pretty reasonable here in middle-of-nowhere Illinois, too...
