THE COMMENTARY.

SORRY, BABY.  Currently resting comfortably with a 7.7 IMDB composite, and a 100 at Christian Science Monitor, Eva Victor’s virgin directorial voyage has the temerity to pair heartbreak with hilarity. Albeit a slow paced semi rom-com drama, its sincerity and honesty win the day. Perhaps, as expected, most male reviews thumbed it down, the females thumbed it up, WAY up. Women are smarter in every way.

DON’T LET’S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT. (A colloquialism roughly meaning, Let’s not let it go to the dogs tonight). From the best-selling memoir of the same name by Alexandra Fuller and co-written and Directed by Embeth Davidtz. The film follows  8-year-old Bobo's life on her family's Rhodesian (now Zimbabwe) farm during the Bush War's final stages. It explores the family's bond with Africa's land and the war's impact on the region and individuals through Bobo's perspective. I think this one is going to be a sleeper and take home a gold statue or two. 92% debut at RT.

AN IRISH EVENING with REBEL WIFE. Filmmaker Williams Cole (and family) along with CELTIC CROSSROADS NW present an evening of Irish culture on Thu Aug 14. Showrunner Eileen O’Grady (ask her about Mohammed Ali’s DNA) has assembled an outstanding collection of talent sure to please. Doors open at 5, with Zach Tupper and special guest Stephanie Reese providing traditional Irish folk music. A trivia contest with a $150 gift cert from CELTIC CROSSROADS plus Cole’s doc REBEL WIFE screening at 7. Director and friends will host a Q&A after the film. Tickets are available here.

LAUREL CANYON LEGACY. Ah, the sounds of the 60’s caress my soul with Angelic memories. Carole, Joni, Carly, Jackson, Brian Wilson, David, Stephen, Graham and Neil, Mama Cass. Those were the days my friend, we thought they'd never end. LCL does the material proud as well as the vibe of the Golden Era of Rock n Roll. Aug 30, doors at 6:30. I feel the earth movin’ already. Tix here.
