to Win Win, Beastly, and Cedar Rapids. I was shocked that tickets were still available but several cities are still open.

[Win Win](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1606392/) is the new movie written and directed by Thomas McCarthy, whose name might not be immediately familiar, but he wrote and directed [The Station Agent](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0340377/) with Peter Dinklege, and [The Visitor](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0857191/) with Richard Jenkins. Win Win stars Paul Giamatti. It sounds like a trite plot, but based on his other two movies, with Tom McCarthy behind it I think it’ll be very good.

Here’s [the link](http://partner.gofobo.com/screenings/win_win/fox_searchlight_fsl_website/700147?promohash=a41da2fcbaf4dab3798e5ceb8bb57fa0) for the free tickets. As I type this, Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Vancouver BC and Washington DC are still available.

[Cedar Rapids](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1477837/) sounds really stupid on paper, but I saw it and thought it was funny and sweet. A bit raunchy and so not for everyone, but I had a good time and laughed out loud quite often. Ed Helms and John C. Reilly have great chemistry, and Anne Heche surprised me by being really good, and beautiful, too.

I don’t know about Beastly, it looks gross and horrible, but I’ll see almost any movie for free, so I got my ticket [at this link.](http://43kix.com/wap/generic.php?item=3590) It doesn’t indicate which cities are sold out, if any. I tried Chicago and it worked.
