I'm probably a little late to the game, but I watched Little Miss Sunshine over the weekend and it's one of the best films I've seen in some time. Beautiful, charming, dark, funny, and gorgeously filmed, it's well-worth a watch.

This afternoon I went to see Amazing Grace, the film version of the life of William Wilberforce. As an English parliamentarian, he dedicated most of his life to abolishing the British slave trade, finally seeing it banned throughout the colonies just before his death in 1833.
