More Snow
The Berkshires received several inches of snow this morning, but not enough to close schools, unlike yesterday's sleety mess. Temperatures will drop into the 20s this afternoon. A few more snow showers are expected through the weekend.
We have reports that the roads are very slippery to take care in the evening commute. |

WFF, Images To Present Romantic Comedy "Blue State" - May 20, 2008
"Blue State," a contemporary romantic comedy with a very political twist, will be co-presented by Williamstown Film Festival and Images Cinema on Monday, June 9th. Its director Marshall Lewy will be in attendance for a Q-&-A after the film, which will screen at Images, 50 Spring Street, Williamstown.
Featuring Academy Award-winner Anna Paquin and rising actor Breckin Meyer, "Blue State" is a wry and provocative comedy about politics, romance, and the paradoxes of being American today. Set in 2004, the film revolves around John Logue - an eager young campaign volunteer who in a drunken moment vows to move to Canada if George Bush wins re-election. When John's pledge gets televised and the results come in, he's left without job, girlfriend, or country. Once he meets a mysterious young woman, Chloe, the two set off on a road trip from California to Winnipeg. In the course of John's and Chloe's travels, many secrets are revealed and many differences between the U.S. and Canada come hilariously to life.
"Blue State" premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and has wonderful resonance for this big election year. It's the latest collaboration between WFF and Images, which have previously teamed up on "Rocket Science," "God Grew Tired of Us," "The Last Kiss," and "The Illusionist" during the WFF off-season.
Tickets are $15 (Images members $12), and may be purchased in advance at (413) 458- 1039 or at the door. |
