A quick addendum to add a feature film that we saw this weekend. If you have yourself a few hours and need a story along the lines of Motorcycle Diaries or The Straight Story, check out The World's Fastest Indian. Jenelle pointed out that this is a drama achieved without drama - Mr. Munro doesn't need to be the victim of anything for the story to be emotionally compelling. He says 'if you don't work towards your dreams you might as well be a vegetable' and it all makes sense. Speed freak or not, there's a single-minded humility and gusto that work surprisingly well together, carried off beautifully by Anthony Hopkins. Check it out.
