A movie a week is all we ask. Well, that and a good cup of coffee...a few sunny days in a row wouldn't hurt either - and a nice bottle of wine every now and again. The movies should be good too...not Hollywood crap, but well-made, smart independent films. For geniuses. That's all.

Chicago 10
I knew the story of the Chicago 8, but was curious who the additional 2 were. The movie didn't provide any answers, and Jon had to look it up after we watched the film. The mix of animation and archival footage was fun and funny and dramatic and I learned a ton about the trial and the actual events over the days that Abby Hoffman and Co. were involved. The other two were the lawyers who were actually slapped with several contempt of court charges during the trail in which the 8 were eventually found not guilty. Great soundtrack.
