Support the independent voice of Denver and help keep the future of Westword free.
It was, again, a weekend filled with film. The 30th Denver Film Festival wrapped last night and over the weekend we caught a few flicks.
I hated Being Michael Madsen. The boredom was only punctuated by the two drunks next to me who knocked over their beer bottles half way through the film and I giggled as I listened to these bottles of Stella Artois roll to a stop several rows ahead of us.
Michael Roberts felt the Keri Russell/Jonathan Rhys Meyers vehicle August Rush was "hackneyed."
For two things you can actually still experience, and might actually enjoy, check out Aubrey Shoe's take the library's Frock Out Denver Design Challenge, complete with a slide show of sartorial splendors.
And if you haven't had your fill by then, we've got a new slide show highlighting some recent graffiti works in West Denver just waiting for some time-wasting web clickery. --Sean Cronin
Keep Westword Free... Since we started Westword, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Denver, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Denver with no paywalls.
