the second installment of miff for me is a film by Jason Reitman, ‘Thank You For Smoking’. It’s a sold out event and imho, easily ranks in the top 5 movies i’ve watched in the miff. i definitely want to get the DVD of it, which wasnt due to be released until October 3rd this year.

We were also presented with a short film, ‘In God We Trust’, prior to the movie, by the same director. It’s a crackin movie, putting a reality spin on how our life is measured up in points. Good points will send you to heaven and negative points will send you to hell. If you don’t have the chance to watch it anywhere, not to worry. A quick google of the movie led me to this AtomFilms site where u can watch the full 15 minutes of the movie.

my fourth miff’s adventure started with a very interesting doco, Deliver Us From Evil. This doco puts the human face on the victims of Catholic priests’ abuse while the children are on their duty of care. It’s quite disturbing especially to see a father who was so distressed learning about what her daughter has gone through. Unfortunately, through no fault of his, he has turned away from God. A powerful scene from the movie was when he said he no longer believes in God while her daughter still a devout Catholic, cried.

i’m looking forward to 12 other movies i have picked under my mini pass.

there’s a new show coming on to NBC this fall: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. The line up include Matther Perry (from ‘Friends’) and Bradley ‘Josh’ Witford (from ‘The West Wing’).  And guess who was the creator of this series??? None other than Aaron Sorkin (Adrian, you forgot to mention this part!!)…. Cant wait… cant wait…
