  • Guest article adding
  • Social whitelisting (based on openids)
  • Ability to insert hCalendar events (already storable in the database)
  • Add downloadable file links

Reviewing Little Miss Sunshine

I knew bits and pieces of the plot that people had told me about and that it was a good feelgood movie (if not the usual kind of movie). This is the first in what i hope is many reviews, that there is a small possibility that people will read... being my first webreview, its a little rough and ready, but enjoy anyway. Without spoiling the plot, or talking too much, what can i say... i thought the basics were all there, great casting, good backing music, good choosing of locations (if not the shiniest, locations but thats integral to the movie). If you want something thats saccarine and sweet, don't watch this movie, if you want something epic, don't watch this movie, same with romance, horror, and definatly no special effects. However if you want a movie that is all about feeling good no matter your problems, and a reminder that even the most dysfunctional family is worth its weight in gold (I refuse to say sunshine :P) then this is the film for you :) enjoy.
