Turning Green follows an American-born teenager (played by Donal Gallery) exiled to Ireland after his mother dies in order to live with his aunts. According to the very few reviews available, this coming of age story is either slightly good, or slightly bad, probably depending on your reaction to independent, coming of age stories. Mark Jenkins of NPR sums it up as being "...more fresh than stale. Gallery holds his own impressively with the better-known supporting players, and the script — a Project Greenlight runner-up — is solidly constructed. Aimette and Hofmann may not be in the same league as the great Irish writers they briefly invoke, but for a couple of Yanks making their first feature, they've drawn a perceptive sketch of the Old Sod."

omg, what a terrible choice of movies. ugh. time to catch up on my dvr.
I'm currently at the Savannah film festival, they had a screening of The Men Who Stare at Goats earlier in the week. It was an interesting movie, funny and quirky. It is one of those movies that shows George Clooney can act as opposed to his other new movie Up in the Air where he plays a common elite business man.
Precious is the big closer of the festival this weekend. I cannot wait to see it. When I was in high school the book became very popular amongst teenage girls and I'm surprised it is now part of the curriculum. Coming from a card table where all the "ghetto" novels lay, this book has come a long way and Sapphire deserves all the success she has encountered.
"Common elite" is an oxymoron.
Is that mooseknuckle girl?
