Frozen River at the Spectrum
Here's yet another thing to do this weekend. If Hurricane Hannah ends up dumping a bunch of rain on, you might think about swinging by the Spectrum to catch Frozen River.
The indie film, directed by Chatham's Courtney Hunt, won the Grand Jury Prize at this year's Sundance Festival and it's gone on to get great reviews. Here's a clip from the film's synopsis:
Frozen River is the story of Ray Eddy, an upstate New York trailer mom who is lured into the world of illegal immigrant smuggling when she meets a Mohawk girl who lives on a reservation that straddles the US-Canadian border.
It's been running already in other cities for a few weeks now, but this is the first weekend for it here in the Capital Region.

I was dreading seeing this movie Saturday night, but my friends were really into it. It was uncomfortable, kept me on edge, but I am so happy I saw it. Enjoyable isn't the right word, but the acting was beautiful, the characters were beautiful and the story was fascinating.
