Guess Who's 2?

That's right, Kodiak Wilbur is officially a teenager now.  No doubt the moodiness and sulking are just around the corner.  Oh, and he still hates birthday hats.

2015 Seattle International Film Festival Dash

Country Girl and I are (very minor) arts patrons in the form a membership with a group that hosts the Seattle International Film Festival.  One of the membership perks is discounts to Festival films.  We took advantage of this in the form of a six pack for this year's festival.  While the festival runs over three weeks, we took in our six five during the last week cos we're boss like that.  Here's how it shook out:

City of Gold - engaging journey to some of L.A.'s hidden gem restaurants through the eyes of passionate, eccentric and beloved local food critic

Country Girl:  "fun movie about my favorite thing: food! 4 stars."
City Boy:  "yum, food!  4 stars!"


Wet Bum - coming of age story of an awkward pre-teen girl who feels most comfy in her swimsuit, in and out of the pool

Country Girl:  "good acting, but nothing exciting to say, 2 stars."
City Boy:  "bland and typical.  is it over yet? 1 star."


Gueros - trouble making youth sent to join his slacker, university going brother in Mexico City during student strikes

Country Girl: "silly movie, original ideas, enjoyed the black & white, 4 stars."
City Boy:  "some cheeky fun to be had, a bit artsy at times.  3 stars."


3 1/2 minutes, 10 bullets - timely, relevant documentary of the "loud music" murder trial from the perspective of the slain teen's parents 

Country Girl sez:  "a terrible tragedy, well put together documentary, 4 stars."
City Boy sez:  "gripping and well presented capture of a tragic event.  4 stars."


A Blast - Greek austerity hits home

Country Girl sez:  "i liked it.  city boy is cra cra.  3 stars."
City Boy sez:  "despite lots of hot action, ultimately woefully underwhelming.  2 stars."
