My Movie Update

Not a lot of running news lately.  I am running more again which is good and my foot problems (appear) to be behind me.  I ran a 4.5 road run last night with Kayla at Nike Run Club.  We pushed each other pretty good.  Normally I could never push her but she hasn’t been running the last few weeks and pushing her wiped me out big time.  It was a good & fun run.

Here’s a round up of some current and upcoming movies you may or may not have heard about.  I haven’t seen any of these yet but want to see all of them. 

Extreme Sports – "Steep"
Out on: Dec 21
I would never do this, but some people consider ultrarunning extreme.  Us ultrarunners probably share something in our personality with these skiers.

Thriller/Wicked Comedy – "Funny Games"
Out in: February
This looks quirky and wickedly funny while also being a thriller.  My kind of film.

Thought Provoking – "Redacted"
Out on: Now
This just looks plain interesting.

Humanitarian – "Darfur Now"
Out on: Now
A true crisis is going on in this country.  This film helps shed a light on that.

Love Story – "Love in the Time of Cholera"
Out on: Now
A love story that spans decades.  How long would you wait for your true love?

Music – "Shine a Light"
Out in: 2008
I am not a big Rolling Stones fan but this documentary looks VERY interesting and well made.  I guess it’s hard not to be when Marty directed it. 

Comedy – "Get Smart"
Out in: June
Good silly comedy.  Need some films like this.  Steve Carrell is a great comedian.

Dramedy – "Before The Devil Knows You’re Dead"
Out on: Now
Philip Seymour Hoffman is an amazing actor.  If you haven’t seen many of his films you need to put them on your "to watch" list.

Happy Running & Movie Watching,
Jessica
