I heard a review of it the other day that actually kinda make me want to see it...

Brewster's Millions. The vagaries of life resulted in us no longer getting the $60 cable package at the $13 price. Of course, now we are used to the $60 package so I had to kick in, and while kicking in might as well get the basic digital package so now we have On Demand. Used my inaugural On Demand viewing to watch this. Stupid movie but I got a kick out of it when I was a kid.

I'll admit to liking it, though I doubt I'd sit through it again having seen it twice.

I went to see Waitress this weekend. The movie was truly lovely. Jenna (Keri Russell) is a pregnant woman in a bad marriage. Her only escape from her husband is working at a local pie diner where she makes pies based on the happenings in her life (ex: the "Bad Baby" pie, after she finds out she's pregnant). She dreams of going to a pie baking contest to win the grand prize.

This movie was such a lovely, little gem. I'd recommend it as a respite from the high tech / action heavy summer blockbuster.

This movie was no different than other indie / arthouse films I've attended in my area. There were a total of 3 paying customers in the movie. It's a like a private screening though!
