Most of this week has been spent up at Lake Texoma.  After five months of working, I took a week off and got even more work done than usual.  Seriously, though, it was good to relax.  I’m proud of the reviews I wrote this week and I’m looking forward to giving you more next week!

In other news …. CANNES!  Yes, the Cannes Film Festival has begun.  Cannes is always kind of fun to follow because the big hits at Cannes hardly ever seem to become big hits once they’re released in the U.S.  That said, I usually find myself agreeing more with the Cannes jury than with the American audiences.
