Mountainfilm in Telluride, 2010 edition, ended with the traditional closing picnic and prize ceremony. What was not traditional, at least for the past few years, was the perfect weather from one end of the weekend to the other.The celebration was chock-full of inspiration,...

When we head down from Telluride to take Gina the Dog to stay with Ted Hoff at Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel, somewhere between Delta and Hotchkiss she will start getting excited, and by the time we turn into the ranch entrance, Gina can...

Ironman2_smallfinal Telluride's Nugget Theatre is one of the venues for Mountainfilm in Telluride from Friday, May 28 through Monday morning. Check http://www.mountainfilm.org/festival/2010/online-schedule/index.html for the Festival lineup. The Nugget's regular schedule resumes Monday evening with Iron Man 2 (PG-13). Note there is a "TBA" on the schedule for Thursday evening at 8:30 pm.

Shhh, don't tell: Iron Man is dying. The public knows who he is, and there are pressures to share his secrets with the US government. Naturally there are bad guys, but in this case the level of acting should make Iron Man an interesting evening at the cinema.

Sam Bush Tuesday is a rather new feature on Telluride Inside... and Out, an opportunity to see an old Telluride friend in different circumstances. Last week's submission told of the CD release party of Sam's recent recording, "Circles Around Me." That event was also Sam and Lynn Bush's 25th wedding anniversary. We'll let Sam's people tell the story.

"As the release of Circles Around Me and Sam and Lynn's 25th wedding anniversary were celebrated on the same night, this week’s episode of Sam Bush TV gives additional  insight into the 25th wedding anniversary portion of the celebration at Sound Emporium Studio, in Nashville, TN.

If you have been watching Ted Hoff's videos from Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel, you can't help being aware of how much dog training is about allowing the dogs to do what they want to do anyway. Of course, Ted is adamant that a...

Image-2 Dragontattoo Telluride's Nugget Theatre is screening four films for the week of Friday, May 21-Thursday, May 27, including a Telluride Film Festival presentation of "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo."

In "Furry Vengeance" we learn that nature may fight back against real estate developers. It may help to remember that this movie is aimed at kids, and the humor may not be too sophisticated, but it's had decent box-office. (Rated PG)

A new feature on Telluride Inside... and Out is a regular Tuesday post by Sam Bush, one of Telluride's favorite musicians. Last week was the opening of this series, a Doers column with Sam, a podcast interview with Sam by Susan, and a video from Sam Bush TV.

This week's article is not quite that elaborate, but includes a video from SBTV. The video will be a weekly part of TIO's coverage, and we at Telluride Inside... and Out appreciate the opportunity to help spread the gospel according to Sam. The following is a description of this week's video from Sam's organization:

"On this week's episode of Sam Bush TV, we're revisiting the Circles Around Me CD Release party (which, coincidentally, was also Sam & Lynn Bush's 25th wedding anniversary) at Sound Emporium Studio, in Nashville, TN the spot where most of the CD was recorded.

Our friend Ted Hoff of Cottonwood Ranch and Kennel, doesn't just train and board dogs: he lives dogs. Ted recently attended the sheep dog trials in Hotchkiss, Colorado. His video of the sights and sounds of the day are interesting, even if you have never...

Therunaways_smallteaser Diaryofawimpykid_smallteaser Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing three movies the week of Friday, May 14-Thursday, May 20. Must be the mountain is officially closed.

First up is "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" (rated PG), another story about a smart kid who gets no respect. The subject has been done many times, but the audience reviews for this one have been positive, and Roger Ebert gives it a thumbs-up. Could be fun.

"The Runaways" tells the story of the all-girl 1970s rock band. It's rated R for language and sexual situations. Expect plenty of rock 'n' roll.

Thelosers_smallposter "The Losers" (PG-13) is an action flick. A special forces team is sent into the Bolivian jungle, there is an insider villain bent on world turmoil, and the group has to stay invisible and stick together to survive.
