The internationally acclaimed Mill Valley Film Festival, greatly anticipated by film fans and film industry veterans alike, offers a high-profile, prestigious, noncompetitive environment that is perfect for celebrating the best of independent and world cinema. Considered by many to be a launching pad for the Oscar® campaign, this year's film festival promises to be no exception. One of the two Opening Night films to screen on Thursday, October 8th at the 32nd Mill Valley Film Festival is Scott Hicks (Shine, MVFF 1996) The Boys are Back. Based on a true story, The Boys are Back is a moving tale of fatherhood that intimately evokes both the fragility and wonders of family life. It follows a witty, wisecracking, action-oriented sportswriter (Academy Award® nominee and Golden Globe winner Clive Owen) who, in the wake of his wife's tragic death, finds himself in a sudden, stultifying state of single parenthood. With turbulent emotions swirling just below the surface, Joe Warr throws himself into the only child-rearing philosophy he thinks has a shot at bringing joy back into their lives: “just says yes.” Raising two boys - a curious six year-old (Nicholas McAnulty) and a rebel teen (George MacKay) from a previous marriage -- in a household devoid of feminine influence, and with an unabashed lack of rules, life becomes exuberant, instinctual, reckless . . . and on the constant verge of disaster. The film's star, Clive Owen, will be honored at a special MVFF Spotlight event where he will receive the Mill Valley Film Festival Award for his work in cinema. The Opening Night Gala will again take place this year at the Mill Valley Community Center, featuring a variety of gourmet dishes and live music. The Mill Valley Film Festival's rich heritage of showcasing the Bay Area's world-renowned filmmaking community continues this year with a plethora of films either shot in the Bay Area or from locally based filmmakers; check their website for complete schedule.

The World's Greatest Gourd Growers and their titanic, super-sized beasts gather for the Safeway World Championship Pumpkin Weigh-Off --- in the World Pumpkin Capital of Half Moon Bay, California. A host of accomplished, veteran growers from throughout the west will be contending for the coveted title and a share of about $20,000 in prize money. In a pay-by-the-pound system, the winner will take home $6 per pound for the champion pumpkin. Thad Starr's titanic 1,528-pound Atlantic Giant squashed the previous Half Moon Bay record and handily defeated the field of seventy heavyweight growers in 2008, taking home $9,168 in prize money. Beauty will share center stage with brawn -- a special $500 prize will be awarded to the "most beautiful pumpkin" as judged by the audience based on color, shape and size. The grand champion gourd (along with the top five overall) will be on display at the Half Moon Bay Art & Pumpkin Festival, October 17-18, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Main Street.
