Where in the world is Mitt Romney? From the John Edwards Campaign

From Tilly Gokbudak: This is from Joe Trippi, who is heading the Edwards '08 Campaign. Edwards will be on Charlie Rose tonight. It may seem like these are harsh words about Mitt Romney, but actually it seems his fellow Republicans are actually saying more heated things about him!


Subject: Where in the world is Mitt Romney?

John Edwards '08

Click to watch the video Dear Attila,

I couldn't believe it.

There, on national television, was Mitt Romney, multi-millionaire Republican nominee wannabe, attacking John Edwards for fighting for tens of millions of Americans who were not born into great wealth -- folks struggling every day to make the American dream a reality for themselves and their families.

Click here to see the video clip.

Maybe Mitt Romney should step out of his bubble of privilege and start meeting real Americans -- people working longer hours for less.

Maybe Mitt Romney should follow in the steps of John Edwards and spend time walking with Americans struggling to rise out of poverty and listen to their stories.

Maybe Mitt Romney should pass on lunch with his millionaire investment buddies -- and spend time, as John Edwards has, with families in New Orleans struggling to rebuild their lives and homes while being ignored by their government.

Click here to see the video clip.

Mitt Romney can bury his head in the sand and pretend the problems will magically go away. But you and I know that there are two Americas -- an America for Mitt Romney and his powerful, privileged friends -- and an America for everyone else. And it's time we had a president with the courage and the backbone to tell the truth.

John Edwards is fighting every single day for the millions of Americans who do not live on Easy Street -- and that's why I support John for president.

Let's show Mitt Romney and the other out of touch Republicans that their time is over -- and our time is now. Can John count on your support as well?

Thanks for all you do.

Movies Opening at the Grandin Theatre (Roanoke, Va.) This Week

From Tilly Gokbudak: Jason Garnett, the mgr. of the Grandin, is reportedly going to show a Chuck Norris film this month, but I don't know when! The action movie star is supporting Mike Huckabee for President, and sadly this will probably help  win over voters in a place like Sioux City, Iowa!

Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
 
Before the Devil Knows You're Dead
Master filmmaker Sidney Lumet directs this absorbing suspense thriller about a family facing the worst enemy of all itself. Oscar-winner Philip Seymour Hoffman plays Andy, an overextended broker who lures his younger brother, Hank (Ethan Hawke) into a larcenous scheme: the pair will rob a suburban mom-and-pop jewelry store that appears to be the quintessential easy target. The problem is, the store's owners are Andy and Hank's actual mom and pop and, when the seemingly perfect crime goes awry, the damage lands right at their doorstep. Oscar-winner Marisa Tomei plays Hoffman's trophy wife, who is having a clandestine affair with Hawke, and the stellar cast also includes Albert Finney as the family patriarch who pursues justice at all costs, completely unaware that the culprits he is hunting are his own sons. A classy, classic heist-gone-wrong drama in the tradition of The Killing and Lumet's own The Anderson Tapes, Before the Devil Knows You're Dead is smart enough to know that we often have the most to fear from those who are near and dear.

Rated R - RunTime: 1:57 min.

In the Shadow of the Moon
 
In the Shadow of the Moon
Between 1968 and 1972, nine American spacecraft voyaged to the Moon, and 12 men walked upon its surface. They remain the only human beings to have stood on another world.

This chronicle brings together, possibly for the first and last time, the surviving crew members from every single Apollo mission that flew to the Moon; it also allows them to tell their story in their own words. First- hand testimony is interwoven with visual archival material which has been re-mastered from the original NASA film footage--much of it never used before.

As a result, this space "epic" communicates the daring, the danger, the pride, and the promise of this extraordinary era in history when the whole world literally looked up at America.

Starring Colonel Buzz Aldrin, Captain Alan Bean, Captain Eugene Cernan, Brig. Gen. Michael Collins, Brig. Gen. Charles Duke

Rated PG - RunTime: 1:40 min.

No Country for Old Men
 
No Country for Old Men
Based on the acclaimed novel by Pulitzer Prize winner Cormac McCarthy. The time is our own, when rustlers have given way to drug- runners and small towns have become free-fire zones. The story begins when Llewelyn Moss (BROLIN) finds a pickup truck surrounded by a sentry of dead men. A load of heroin and two million dollars in cash are still in the back. When Moss takes the money, he sets off a chain reaction of catastrophic violence that not even the law - in the person of aging, disillusioned Sheriff Bell (JONES) - can contain. As Moss tries to evade his pursuers - in particular a mysterious mastermind who flips coins for human lives (BARDEM) - the film simultaneously strips down the American crime drama and broadens its concerns to encompass themes as ancient as the Bible and as bloodily contemporary as this morning's headlines.

Rated R - RunTime: 2:02 min.

Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
 
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium
Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium is the strangest, most fantastic, most wonderful toy store in the world. In fact, it's a magic toy store and everything in it comes to life - including the store itself. The Emporium only asks one thing of its customers; you must believe it to see it.

Starring Dustin Hoffman, Natalie Portman and Jason Bateman.

Rated G - RunTime: 1:34 min.

Lars and the Real Girl
 
Lars and the Real Girl
Written by Six Feet Under scribe Nancy Oliver, Lars and the Real Girl is a heartfelt comedy starring Academy-Award nominated Ryan Gosling as Lars Lindstrom a loveable introvert whose emotional baggage has kept him from fully embracing life. After years of what is almost solitude, he invites Bianca, a friend he met on the internet to visit him. He introduces Bianca to his Brother Gus (Paul Schneider) and his wife Karen (Emily Mortimer) and they are stunned. They don't know what to say to Lars or Bianca because she is a life-size doll, not a real person and he is treating her as though she is alive. They consult the family doctor Dagmar (Patricia Clarkson) who explains this is a delusion he's created for what reason she doesn't yet know but they should all go along with it. What follows is an emotional journey for Lars and the people around him.

Rated PG-13 - RunTime: 1:46 min.

Toubab KreweBlending Malian, American, and "Dirty South" influences into a genre all its own, Toubab Krewe "has set a new standard for fusions of rock 'n' roll and West African music," says Banning Eyre at Afropop Worldwide. Members of the group developed their unique sound over the course of numerous extended trips to West Africa, where they immersed themselves in the local culture and studied and performed with masters such as Lamine Soumano, Vieux Kante, Madou Dembele, and Koungbanan Conde. The magnetic instrumental quintet formed in early 2005 and has attracted a diverse and devoted national following, captivating crowds everywhere from the Bonnaroo Music Festival and the Blue Note to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. The band's energetic performances and acclaimed self-titled debut have won them praise from the New York Times, Global Rhythm, and Afropop Worldwide.

Little’s involvement with fiddle tunes, old time country, and rockabilly dates to his growing up in Boone, North Carolina, where his father, owned a music shop.

Enter The HaggisThere aren’t many groups in North America who could lay claim to possibly 18 different genres of music, but Toronto’s Enter The Haggis is one of them. To engage this quintet is to indulge rock, fusion, bluegrass, traditional Celtic fare, agitpop, folk, even Latin flavors. Sounds awfully confused, right? Wrong. ETH is one of those rare jewels that actually pulls it all off as if to own everything.

Galaxy Cinema Weekly Newsletter

From Tilly Gokbudak: The Galaxy Cinema is one of my favorite 'new theatres.' They definitely appeal to the cinephile. I am still more partial to older cinemas, like the Grandin Theatre in Roanoke, Va., but if you live in the Raleigh-Durham area, or are visiting there, this is a place I highly recommend. Regardless of where you live, "Into the Wild," "TheDarjeleling Limited" and "Lars and the Real Girl" are wonderful films. The Galaxy is also known for showing Bollywood films.
