Here are the films so far.
So these are the films which i want to see at the Miami Film Festival. The last films i don't know about because it is the closing night film, thus expensive to go to. But those are the movies. You all that want to go with me can also go to the website, and suggest movies. http://www.miamifilmfestival.com/MIFFShowTime/ByFilms.aspx
Also, the good thing is that the festival starts at the end of my spring break so I will be able to read for a few weeks ahead, thus I can actually go to these movies.
Thankyou for Smoking - A spin-doctor for the Academy of Tobacco Studies looks after the industry's better interests. He's not above shouting down a weak, near-death cancer victim on national T.V. just to make his point. When the smoke clears, amused moviegoers will know two things: biting satire has hit a new, devilish level, and director Jason Reitman's career is on fire. - Saturday, March 04, 2006, Gusman Center, 7:00:00 PM
Do you cry for me Argentina - The in-between lives and thwarted dreams of young Korean immigrants in Argentina roar onto the screen in this fast-paced, genre-busting film that occupies a niche all its own: Asian South American cinema. Members of the “1.5 Generation” Koreans who immigrated as children grapple with conformity, class and success or lack of it in contemporary Buenos Aires. Monday, March 06, 2006, Regal South Beach 17, 9:30:00 PM, Friday, March 10, 2006, Regal South Beach 10, 4:00:00 PM, Sunday, March 12, 2006, Regal South Beach 18, 6:45:00 PM
Sa-Kwa - A young woman is dumped by her boyfriend of seven years. A man who has admired her from afar puts the moves on her. Before she knows it, she is courted, engaged and married to a man who may not be the love of her life. Then her ex shows up. What’s a girl to do? Lead actress Mun So-ri, as the lady in question, pulls you into her love dilemma. She’s slightly ditzy, always amusing and playfully ambivalent, in a film that will tickle your heart. Monday, March 06, 2006, Cosford (U/M), 8:30:00 PM, Saturday, March 11, 2006, Regal South Beach 10, 4:00:00 PM
The Notorious Betty Page - Model extraordinaire Bettie Page pioneered the sexy, kinky nude pin-up pose way back in the ‘50s. Director Mary Harron (American Psycho) films her racy life story. A very svelte Gretchen Mol gives an amazing performance as Paige, the lady in leather who drove men wild. Partly shot in Florida, it perfectly re-creates a time gone by. - Monday, March 06, 2006, Colony Theater, 10:00:00 PM
Tsoti - A twentysomething thug is prone to robbing, mugging and backstabbing fellow crooks. The day he carjacks and shoots a middle-class woman is a new low. The victim's baby is in the back seat. Is anybody beyond redemption? Winner of Audience Awards at both the Edinburgh and Toronto International Film Festivals. A nail-biting emotional rollercoaster. - Tuesday, March 07, 2006, Gusman Center, 7:00:00 PM
Wassup Rockers - In L.A., a group of aimless El Salvadorian teen boys play in a rock band. They prefer skateboarding to hip hop, and are ostracized by their neighbors. They head to Beverly Hills, where the local girls think they are "muy caliente". But the girls' boyfriends are not so amused! The latest kid-flick from director Larry Clark (Kids). - Friday, March 10, 2006, Regal South Beach 11, 9:45:00 PM, Sunday, March 12, 2006, Regal South Beach 11, 9:45:00 PM
Friends With Money - What do the haves and have-nots have in common? They never have enough money! A fine ensemble cast of today’s top actors portray people on the brink of middle age, who only pretend to have it all together. Jennifer Aniston, Frances McDormand, Catherine Keener and Joan Cusack chase the almighty dollar, while we laugh and pretend we don’t love money, designer clothes and bling-bling as much they do. - Saturday, March 11, 2006, Gusman Center, 7:00:00 PM
