I'd better speed up if I'm going to watch 15 more movies this month!
188) American Hollow. HBO doc by Rory Kennedy about poor people in Appalachian Kentucky. Pretty interesting but I can see how people saw it as exploitive. If it was about poor black people, I would've been irritated. 4 stars
189) Dumbstruck. Ventriloquist documentary about the people behind the dummies... and the dummies. Funny at times, also sad at times. The story moved nicely at the beginning then slowed a bit toward the end. Still, worth watching. 3.7 stars
190) Elvis and Annabelle. Indie film about a girl who dies and is brought back to life by the undertaker's kiss. Blake Lively stars. I was intrigued by the fact that this was like one of the best shows ever cancelled, "Pushing Daisies" and in some respects I wasn't disappointed. It took some unnecessarily predictable turns, but took some sweet and/or surprising turns. The end was not nearly as strong as the beginning. 3.5 stars
