Last night, tired and slightly bummed about our film festival lottery placement, we stayed in and watched a couple of Zip movies:

• I’m Not Scared (imdb | rotten tomatoes) has been sitting on our shelf for a couple of months, and we finally got around to it. We both really liked it; it was interesting and well told, and the cinematography was amazing…it just cried out for a high-definition TV. Highly recommended.
• Childstar (imdb | rotten tomatoes) wasn’t quite as good, but it was still a decent 90-minute distraction. I think Don McKellar can just do no wrong for me, and the same pretty much goes for Jennifer Jason Leigh (who, by the way does NOT look 44). A nice little dig at the film industry as well. Not bad.
