I missed a day and for that I apologize. We're up early in the morning, and out late at night and there are a whole load of films in between. To catch up on Monday: We started the day with Philip Seymour Hoffman's directorial debut, JACK GOES BOATING, also starring Hoffman. I loved this sweet tale of love, friendship and 
loneliness. SMASH HIS CAMERA is a fun doc about a king of paparazzi who has single-handedly helped to document celebrities and notables for the past 40 years. Then a film near and dear to me: HOWL, about the epic poem by Allen Ginsberg and the trial that put art and freedom of expression on the stand and in the public eye. This is a fabulous film that needs to be seen, and 500 lucky folks will this Thursday at the Sundance Film Festival USA screening at our Sundance Kabuki. WELCOME TO THE RILEYS is a wonderful departure for James Gandolfini, and the evening ended with a fabulous meal at Zoom, our annual feast and talk-fest. This morning started out very early with Annette Benning in MOTHER AND CHILD, a super fun CYRUS with John C. Reilley, Jonah Hill and Marissa Tomei, then we went to the SF Int'l Film Festival hoe-down, with loads of folks from the Bay Area and beyond. We had to hop on a bus and leave our friends in order to catch BLUE VALENTINE with Ryan Gosseling and Michelle Williams. What a nice film, depressing, tho. I tried to get into the screening of THE RUNAWAYS, but it was way over-subscribed. It's not snowing, the streets are clear, the sun is shining and it sure would be nice to be on the slopes. My condo-mate and friend Clare surprised me with a caramel apple today, so at least I've had that, although no celebrities today. What's up with that???
