I confess to being a sucker for the genre of small movies that build a sweet love story on a sci-fi theme. Starman is the classic– though maybe a Jeff Bridges vehicle doesn't really count as "small." I praised Monsters here already– a sci-fi action romance that does a whole lot with what must have been a limited budget. And last night we watched Long Weekend, a worthy addition featuring two cute-as-buttons protagonists, relaxed humor, and a nice supporting turn by Damon Wayans Jr. Between delta, Afghanistan, and Haiti, you need 90 minutes of sweetness, don't you?

"I avoid philosophy, abhor economics"
Oh, Rita, that hurts, but I plan to read your new book of poems nevertheless.

Darren Johnston
One of my very favorite musicians, formerly Bay Area-, now Brooklyn-based, always worth hearing whenever and wherever you have the opportunity.
