December 19, 2009Not a whole lot of surprises from these four critics groups, but it is nice to see a few people getting much deserved recognition such as Melanie Laurent and Christian McKay. I'm also thrilled to see one of my favorite movies of the year, Where the Wild Things Are, garner some love from critics in Indiana.

Bring Sita home with a DVD of
SITA SINGS THE BLUES

Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by email. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920's jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as "the Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told."
