These are the films we saw, in the order that I liked them:
Expiration Date directed by Rick Stevenson. This was a comedy about a guy who's father and grandfather got killed by milk trucks on their 25th birthday. Believing it to be a curse, Whats-his-name prepares for his death and lots of funny things happen, including meeting a girl, setting a narcoleptic dog free from the Pound and stealing a milk truck. I enjoyed it and recommend it to anyone.

This was Demographic Winter, (directed by Rick Stout) a documentary about the ramifications of the declining population. Shelly and Mother loved it, I agreed with the information but took issue with the poor way it was presented. I guess I just have high acedemic standards. I picked up a copy for the fam if anyone wants to watch it. I'm curious to see the second part.
This was Diantha's Crossing directed by Tom Russell. It was by the BYU film school. The presentation, music, costumes and acting was all very, very good. The storyline was fine but just not the most thrilling. I guess I pioneered myself out as a child and just don't find it quite as fascinating as I used to. Also, what is with the paper chain the background of this promo photo? Is she counting down to her death or what? I'd probably watch something by Tom Russell again, I just hope his screen writers are more creative next time.
We watched a bunch of shorts too (short films under 10 minutes) and those are always my favorite.
But it's Monday again and nose to the grindstone! Time to study until my brain falls out. (It happened last week, I'm not even kidding.)
Love to all.
