You can rent them anywhere, from Blockbuster to Netflix. Well, ALMOST anywhere. You rented Sankofa from Blockbuster?

All are fabulous indie films that so few blacks I know saw, but which I loved and chased down in theatres. You strike me as the type who may have sought them out... ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daryle Lockhart" <dar...@darylelockhart.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Sunday, February 15, 2009 12:48:35 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] "Push" I'm in for "The International". It's Clive Owen doing his Clive Owen thing, and that's cool. If anyone's in a city where "Medicine For Melancholy" is playing, I can't recommend that film enough. It's wonderful. One of the better Black indies I've seen in a long time. On Feb 14, 2009, at 8:33 PM, Keith Johnson wrote: I'm thinking that too. I'll probably see it tomorrow, then go see "The International" on Monday as a nice thriller. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Daryle Lockhart" <dar...@darylelockhart.com> To: scifinoir2@yahoogroups.com Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 8:21:01 PM GMT -05:00 US/Canada Eastern Subject: Re: [scifinoir2] "Push" Yes, that's what I've heard as well. In all reality, Keith, if your wife has been with you this long, she's sensitive to a little sci-fi, so "Curious Case" is probably your best call.

What about "Confessions of a Shopaholic"? Hey...today is Valentine's, and tomorrow is my anniversary.

I think you will enjoy it. "Push" is a two hour Marvel Comic book written by a writer you never heard of but an illustrator you love. So it looks good, but halfway in you realize you've seen/read this all before. It ain't the editing, it's the script. It's a rental.

I haven't heard much, other than some critics' reviews that say it's a bit of a jumbled, hyperactive mess (told you I was worried about the too-quick camera cuts!) But though a few of us were initially anticipating it, I don't recall any reviews or discussions here, certainly no praise for the flick. Did anyone see it? How was it? Along the same lines, I'm considering checking out Benjamin Buttons and Coraline. Any thoughts on those?
