Full disclosure: I am a sucker for Parker Posey. There's something about her impish grin and the social ineptitude of her characters that makes me heart everything she's in. So I was psyched to see her in this Zoe Cassavetes film about Nora, an anxiety-riddled 30-ish hotel guest relations expert who has horrible luck with men, until a sexy Parisian comes along and rocks her world. Posey is equal parts funny and vulnerable, and it was great to see her in a role that showed off her acting chops. French actor Melvil Poupaud totally kills it as Julian. He inhabits the role well, oozing that French je ne sais quoi, and it doesn't hurt that the dude is hot. Like "we would've been fine with his scenes if he'd just read the phone book" hot.

We here in the Ist-A-Verse know that we're sensational, but it's very rare that we get a chance to be sensationalistic. This week, we've decided to have ourselves a little fun and try our hand at tacky tabloid headlines, using nothing more than our favorite posts from this week.

The Rocky Horror PUPPET Show (playing through Saturday - but don't fret if you miss it; they'll be staging it again in October.)

You're probably about ready for us to stop talking about the Philadelphia Film Festival now, and indeed that trolley has pretty much pulled out of town, but we thought we'd throw in just one more post, this time discussing the festival's final statistics and awards. You can find the complete list of award-winners on the festival home page, and detailed audience ballot results here. The stats suggest that the festival was more crowd-pleasing than ever this year, as it had a record-breaking attendance level of 66,300, and 52% of the films received audience ratings of "Very Good" or better.
