Got home late after a public screening at the Library of The Great Buck Howard, my favorite movie of the festival so far, and I'm quite exhausted, but I have a feeling that tomorrow will be the real test of endurance as I try to squeeze in between five or maybe even six movies. It'll start early with Craig Lucas' Birds of America starring Matthew Perry, followed quickly by my most anticipated movie of the festival Sunshine Cleaning starring Amy Adams and Emily Blunt, and right after that, I'll be seeing the revenge thriller Red starring Brian Cox. After a quick break to eat, I'll be heading back to the library for the world premiere of Hamlet II starring Steve Coogan, which entered the festival so late that it wasn't included in the program or guide. I was hoping to catch Rawson Marshall Thurber's adaptation of Michael Chabon's The Mysteries of PIttsburgh, but it might be cutting it too close, but either way, my day will end with the 9:30 screening of Downloading Nancy with Maria Bello, who I'll be talking to on Tuesday.

I only got through about 20 minutes or so... had absolutely no interest in any of the characters and being 8:30 in the morning (or maybe it was 9:30 by then), I decided to cut my losses and get some writing done instead. Will probably see again someday.
