SIFF - 5 movies in 5 days



OK, we will finish up with our Finnish Mongolian travelogue movie on Friday.  We have managed to see 5 movies in 5 days and all of them at Shoreline.  Why kill yourself going into downtown Seattle or beyond?  Tonight we saw "The Extraordinary Journey of Celeste Garcia," a Cuban romcom with an alien twist starring a 60 year old overweight actress.  Trust me, it was very sweet and funny, we really liked it.  Monday we saw a French bug children's movie and a documentary about the Apollo Theater.  Before that we saw a very odd documentary about an odd subject, mammoth public buildings in Soviet Bloc countries.  And the German ensemble piece, maybe my favorite that I wrote about earlier.

But that's SIFF for you.  We buy a 'six pack' to see six movies and they're always no-flow.  Maybe because I'm the one who picks out the movies.  Dennis always goes along with them.
