Aidan Quinn turned up again on Saturday night joining the cast and crew of “
Handsome Harry,” a new film directed by
Bette Gordon premiering at the Tribeca Film Festival. This time the veteran indie director-her classic 1984 film “Variety” with screenplay by
Kathy Acker will also be screened-- turned her gaze on a group of men who had served together in the navy during the Vietnam era. Now thirty years later, the title character, an excellent
Jamey Sheridan, known mostly for his work on television, is obliged to fulfill Tom Kelley's (a fine
Steve Buscemi) deathbed wish for atonement bringing back the violent events of a cataclysmic night. The story of love, betrayal, and homophobia also features
Campbell Scott and
Bill Sage. You couldn't find a more handsome group fielding questions from the enthusiastic crowd. Observing the line up, Gordon said she was trying to cast her William Holdens, Lee Marvins, and Ben Gazzaras in this interesting reversal, a female director's take on men. Other movies to look out for in the festival's tasty smorgasbord are “
Team Qatar,” a documentary following a teenaged debating team from that Middle East region as they train in Doha, London, New York on their way to Washington D.C. for the world championship; “
Easy Virtue,” a period piece based on a Noel Coward play with lots of clever banter from
Kristin Scott Thomas and her new daughter-in-law played by the lovely
Jennifer Biel. With period soundtrack evoking Cole Porter, who could ask for anything more? (Oops, that's Gershwin!) And on Sunday night, another Tribeca standout was screened at IFC Center: “In the Loop,” starring
James Gandolfini will open in July, but the party starts now. Quintessentially co-hosted the festivities at Madam Geneva, a new venue in the Bowery.
Jeremy Irons joined director
Armando Iannucci munching on Asian influenced hors d'oeuvres and chatting about the joys of moviemaking compared to working on television. This being his first film, the British director of the popular BBC comedy series “The Thick of It,” said, he's now “caught the bug.”

I need a good compliment for each person but I also need a list of one word complements and the teacher is going to check them (sadly enough) examples: nice, smart, funny, brave, outgoing, etc.
