Running Friday 11/3-Sunday 11/12, you have a strong list of over 30 films to choose from. Ranging American, foreign, documentary and closed caption, at first glance this year's list seems an improvement on the past couple of years.
Many of the films have played in festivals from Cannes to Toronto. Here is a short list of some of the best.....

Borg Vs. McEnroe....taking place in 1980, these two top tennis players of that era squared off against each other at Wimbledon. If you enjoyed Battle of the Sexes, you will love this one.
Lady Bird.... As the world changes in 2002, a mother and daughter living in Sacramento Calfironia compete against each other in a changing world.
Last Flag Flying....A top rate cast including Bryan Cranston, Lawrence Fishburn and Steve Carell, these three come together at funeral of young Marine killed in Iraq War.

Happy movie-going!!!

Featuring Dustin Hoffman, Adam Sandler, Ben Stiller, Emma Thompson, Elizabeth Marvel and even more, it tells the story of a father and his relationship with wife and children as they grow apart and grow into adulthood.
Filmed on the streets of New York at many locations familiar to those who live or travel there, the two hours fly by. And if you need a refreshment or get a phone call there's always the pause button.
Bravo Coastal Bar & Kitchen is open at Westfield Siesta Key and it's a winner. Totally different from it's sister chain, Brio Tuscan Grille at UTC; serving lunch, dinner and even coffee with pastries in the morning for early breakfast, Kitchen is so much more than Italian.

Now for the best part. The food is really good. From small plates to full meal, there is much more than pasta and your typical Italian. Along with salad, hamburger, calamari, they serve the best skirt steak I've had in Sarasota. Along with crispy fries you've come to expect now with this dish, it will make you want to come back.

Your critique on Conner's was much too complimentary. I had dinner there a couple of weeks ago and ordered their special feature for the evening. It was a 12oz. PRIME cut of sirloin steak which I had to send back because they absolutely ruined it. The restaurant offered me to choose another item. I ordered a piece of NY strip which they also destroyed in the grilling of it. Conner's is anything but a steak and seafood house. Stay with Capitol Grill or Hyde Park they know how to prepare a great steak.
