Saw some movies this weekend:

• Ponette loses
  her mother in a automobile accident and then has to come to terms
  with her death. Good child acting. Apparently the widescreen version
  of Ponette is not available on DVD in the US. I occasionally
  found my self wondering about the bad camera work and then
  remembered is was pan and scan (Yuck). 4 stars
  
  
• Dummy.
  A great performance from all the cast. A milquetoast Steven (Adrien Brody)
  decides to take up ventriloquism. 4 stars
  
  
• Queer
  as Folk USA . This series can be summarized as Sex in
  the City for queers. The girls are renting this and Amy and I
  frequently sit in and watch it with them. explicit language and sex.
  3 stars.
