Film fest talks immigration
LOS ANGELES — It's not exactly earth-shaking news that immigration is among the key themes of this year's 14th annual Los Angeles Latino International Film Festival.
What may surprise viewers is how multifaceted that subject can be, beyond vitriol debates about Arizona statutes, border fences and boycotts.
Edward James Olmos, chairman and co-founder of the festival, one of the nation's oldest and largest of its kind, says many of this year's films explore the two-
way nature of immigration as a global phenomenon, an exchange that affects both those who move and those who encounter the new arrivals.
"This is an issue that will touch everyone's lives," said the actor, known for his performances in "Blade Runner," "Battlestar Galactica" and "Stand and Deliver." "This is something that's not happening only in the United States, it's happening across the planet as people are moving from Point A to Point B in order to stay alive."
To illustrate that idea, organizers point to the large, varied lineup of immigration-related films in
the festival, which was scheduled to open Thursday night and run through Wednesday at various Hollywood venues. The Los Angeles Times and its Spanish-language sister publication, Hoy, are the festival's premiere sponsors.
The festival's closing-night offering, Carlos Carrera's feature film "Backyard;" stars Mexican actress Ana de la Reguera (Jack Black's largely unrequired love interest in "Nacho Libre") in a tale set in the gruesomely violent border city of Ciudad Juarez, where thousands of women have been killed or have disappeared in recent years.

Comedy troupe reunites for show
MCCLATCHY-TRIBUNE
LOS ANGELES — Like getting into the Beatles via their later solo albums, I came at the Canadian comedy troupe the Kids in the Hall, whose self-titled series ran from 1989 to 1995 on HBO and
CBS, late and backward, through the individual work of members Dave Foley ("NewsRadio"), Scott Thompson ("The Larry Sanders Show") and Mark McKinney (the marvelous "Slings and Arrows", which he also co-wrote). (Bruce McCulloch and Kevin McDonald are the other Kids, I write parenthetically but not slightly.) Then I saw them at UCLA in 2007, warming up for their 2008 reunion tour and did I laugh!
