Academy Award nominated documentary The Garden concerns the long, bitter battle between Latino farmers who, in the wake of the Rodney King riots, turned a patch of LA urban wasteland into a massive urban farm and community garden, only to be evicted in 2006 and see the site bulldozed. Jeannette Catsoulis at the Times says it "has all the elements of a John Sayles drama: hard-working immigrants, self-serving politicians, a greedy land developer and Daryl Hannah. Yet this intricate and compelling documentary about the tug of war over a 14-acre community garden in South Central Los Angeles paints a portrait of American politics not even Mr. Sayles could render more saddening."

just saw ST today before the super nerds. it was stunning. i like the fact that spock gets jungle fever.
Without Shatner as Kirk, it isn't Star Trek.
damn, the shows are sold out. :(, live long and prosper bitches.
I hate it when a director's Pinterian abstractions come off as forced.
I saw it last night. So good.
I just saw it at the Pavilion on Prospect Park and there the theater was still a quarter empty.
Weird for a Friday night opening of something like this.
Actually, I was kind of disappointed. This movie looks like a Long trailer for a new star trek series with the love struck Spock. Also without Shatner it isn't star trek. The movie was ok.
