The 2008 Tribeca Film Festival begins April 23rd and runs through May 4th, with over 200 feature length narrative films, documentaries and shorts from around the world. This year also features discussions with filmmakers, music events, a family film series, an ESPN Sports Film Festival and other special presentations. Check out last week's preview of some of the narrative feature films in the festival, or brave the entire program of films.)
American Express cardholders have been buying tickets since last weekend; on this Friday tickets will be available to downtown residents who can show proof of residency at the Tribeca Film festival box office at 15 Laight Street. On Saturday April 19th tickets go on sale to everyone.
My Winnipeg:"With his latest work, Guy Maddin renders irrelevant the hoary debate about whether documentary or fiction is "more real." Ostensibly, he's offering a portrait of the frigid Manitoba city where he grew up-and, indeed, at the Tribeca Film Festival's first screening he appears in person to speak the narration live, as though offering further attestation that this is all true. But although there may well be a birth certificate confirming that Maddin was born in the actual Canadian metropolis of Winnipeg, My Winnipeg offers little in the way of proof that anything described in the film actually happened in Winnipeg, or happened to Guy Maddin in Winnipeg, or happened anywhere for that matter. In fact, viewing the film may make you pause to wonder whether Winnipeg actually exists, or Guy Maddin actually exists, or you actually exist. You may find yourself clutching your ticket stub in a pathetic attempt to hold on to reality."

The New York Road Runners Club should change it's name to The New York Sidewalk Runners club. Rarely do I ever see a runner in the street.
It's interesting that when an actor or an actress get to a higher level they become less believable in a role. Take Meryl Streep as an example. When one see's her either on stage or in film, she is seen as Meryl Streep first and then the character she portrays.
