Two Film Recs

Aron and I had a date night last Monday and saw "Little Miss Sunshine" I had just had to make a quick post about it because it was outstanding!! The cast is incredible and worked so well together. In a nutshell, it's an honest look at life through the metaphor of a beauty pageant. The family takes the most incredible journey along the way (both literally and figuratively). There is an abundant use of the "f" word, but if you can get past it, you'll dig this film (just wanted to warn those who are more on the conservative side). Then, yesterday, my dad took us all to see "The Illusionist," another outstanding film. The cast--Edward Norton, Paul Giamatti, Jessica Biel--did a superb job, esp. EN; man, what an actor! It's a beautiful film with an intriguing story.

Rotten Tomatoes gave LMS a 93% and TI a 71%. I'd love to hear some feedback if anyone sees these flicks.
