Wow. Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, totally kicked some vampire ass over Thanksgiving. The numbers are basically everything you would expect at the top. I was happy to see that Milk, with one of the smallest releases of all time (only in 36 theaters) managed to make it onto the top ten, averaging over four times per theater what Four Christmases was able to do. Hopefully that will help it get a wider release in weeks to come. And if I would have turned it up to 11, Slumdog Millionaire came was just outside the countdown this week, showing that it will hopefully manage to work it’s way in. Here are this weeks numbers…

I know you’re all going to see Transporter 3, but please, at least think about the option of seeing a quality film? Milk or Australia are both great picks for this weekend. They’re funny, interesting, and overall great pieces of work. Or if you have to, see Four Christmases, which is it just has a bunch of great faces showing up and not doing what you know they can do. It won’t be as good as you’re hoping it might be. You have two great films, give them a shot! Transporter 3 will be on DVD before you know it!

Almost 30+ years after Harvey Milks fight, when the issue has again risen to the forefront of state and national politics, Gus Van Sant offers a stunning portrayal of the history of gay rights. In fact it’s timing is almost a little too perfect for Milk. I think Gus Van Sant intentionally threw the vote to make a point. Well maybe not.
Detailing the inspiring story of Harvey Milk, writer Dustin Lance Black and director Gus Van Sant illustrates broader implications of social and political change. The path to change is never an easy one and is filled with far more failures to overcome than successes to celebrate. For Harvey, like many others who fight for something they believe in, they only reach their greatest accomplishments through much devastation. But it’s worth it.

Just one week after one of the most historical elections in American history, rally’s and protests have been taking place all over the state of California, and it has nothing to do with the new president. By a close 52%, Proposition 8, a law which forbids same-sex marriage in the state, was passed.
The law has been heavily condemned by Hollywood celebrities, and many have lended their support to fight it. Actress Drew Barrymore attended a rally last week in Los Angeles, where she spoke openly about her position on the passing of Prop 8.
Check out the video…

I happen to be a fan of films that leave an aftertaste. The kind that don’t just stun and surprise me in the moment, with no kernel of truth to leave me thinking for days. If you are like me, and value films for their story line, their insight into the self or a world unknown, then the following films will surely move you. With the theme of love (or a lack of) in Nights and Weekends, to the life story of an icon of the LGBT community in Milk; this list appeals to a variety of tastes.
