Telluride's Nugget Theatre will show two movies for the week of May 15-21, Race to Witch Mountain and The Soloist. In addition there will be a Telluride Film Festival presentation of Gomorrah at 8:30 pm on Thursday, May 21.
"Race to Witch Mountain" is for the younger set. From Disney, its PG Rating is primarily for some scenes which might be frightening for sensitive youngsters. The story concerns a taxi driver who picks up a pair of aliens who look like teenagers. The kids are being pursued by the U.S, government, and must get back to Witch Mountain.
"The Soloist" (Rated PG) is based on a true story. Journalist Steve Lopez (Robert Downey jr.) discovers a child musical prodigy, Nathaniel Anthony Ayers (Jamie Foxx) existing as a homeless man in Los Angeles. The movie alternates between the present and the past in order to show how Ayers went from a life of promise to a life on the streets.
For reviews and trailers, see the Nugget website.

As anxious as we were to get home to Telluride, we dawdled leaving the Hastings' home in Indianapolis. It was just too pleasant to rush out. So we had a short drive on Saturday and decided to stop for the night in Kansas City. We often do not make hard plans in our travels, and, true to form, we had no reservations when we arrived. That flexibility has occasionally meant we had to accept less than we had hoped, but not this time.
We found the Q Hotel and Spa, which bills itself "Kansas City's 'Green Hotel'" and found ourselves surrounded with quiet luxury and a staff who, to a person, could not do enough for us. Susan spent quite a while with the reception folks, and came up with what turned out to be a great dinner reservation.

Poet Ogden Nash wrote poems that amounted to bite size op ed pieces inveighing against society's shortsightedness. The one about loss of trees due to commercialism goes like this:
"I think that I shall never see
A billboard lovely as a tree.
Perhaps, unless the billboards fall,
I'll never see a tree at all.
(from "Song of the Open Road," 1933)

Telluride's Nugget Theatre is showing two movies for the week of May 1 - 7: "State of Play" and "Monsters vs. Aliens."
"Monsters" is an animated film from Dreamworks, pitting Earth-based monsters, mostly freaks of science, against invading aliens from Space. It's a fun way to spend an hour and a half.
"State of Play" boasts a strong cast including Ben Affleck, Russell Crowe, and Rachel McAdams. The political thriller concerns a congressman investigating a private security company (can you spell "Blackwater?"), some unexplained deaths, and some tough investigative newspaper reporting. (Rated "PG-13" for profanity and violence)
