I think we're making progress on the subdomain problem. But I'm getting a 'cannot be found error' once in a while even for the main page. Is this happening to anyone else?

In Dear Frankie, a mother protects her deaf son from his past by pretending that his father is away at sea; she writes letters pretending to be the boy's father, whose ship travels all around the world and visits many exotic creatures. To her surprise, the father's ship she made up is actually real, and the newspaper reports that the ship will be docking in the Glasgow harbor shortly. When faced with the idea of having to tell Frankie the truth, she opts to hire a complete stranger to pretend to be the father and spend a day with Frankie...

There were so many ways that this could have seemed extremely contrived and a complete disaster, but it actually works on a simple level. No, it's not totally believable, but, as Ebert points out, it's the way it's made that makes it work. The plot isn't all that innovative, but the actors, the writing, the moments of quiet, the setting of Glasgow, and the emotions that bring it all together and actually make you care.

In the back of my mind, it was obvious how the movie would end, but it was getting there that was enjoyable. Jack McElhone is a really talented kid, and Emily Mortimer and Gerard Butler (much better NOT being a Phantom of the Opera) are great as well. I liked it.

So here is what I am planning on including so far, if you have any suggestions let me know.

Picaresque, The Decemberists

I've meaning to write about this mini-series for awhile. I watched it while I was at my friend Mike's house and I have to say it's one of the funniest and also heartwarming things I've seen in a long, long time. Shatner shows he has a true sense of humor and is willing to make a fool of himself and his cohorts as they lead a town into the biggest hoax ever. The best part about it is that it's not done in a way that makes the town look like idiots. You actually fall in love with the town. It left such an impact on me that I plan on visiting it sometime in the future. Also, the "movie" they make is downright hilarious and horrible. Check this one out if they replay it anytime soon.
