Note: I posted this review soon after I saw this movie at Sundance, and today it's out in theaters, so I thought I'd share my thoughts again. It has some flaws, but overall I really like this movie. Henry Poole Is Here was one of the first non-documentary feature films to be snatched up by a studio at this year's Sundance, and I can easily see why.

A few months ago I was thrilled to hear that Henry Poole Is Here got picked up by a studio at Sundance because it was hands-down one of my favorite movies there. Luke Wilson is totally engaging as Henry Poole, a curmudgeonly man who buys an ordinary house in Southern California. Soon his neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barazza) notices a stain on the outside of Henry's house that she thinks is the face of Jesus.

A little while ago, Pop spotted a bunch of famous Texans — Owen and Luke Wilson, Jessica Simpson, and even Dan Rather — racing lawn mowers at Willie Nelson's ranch while filming the video for Nelson's "You Don't Think I'm Funny Anymore." Well, now the video has arrived! It's a cute, down-home country affair, with Jessica using her hot pink lawn mower (and matching helmet), crafty maneuvers, and some clever deception to prove who's really the best mower racer in all the land — much to the dismay of a sad-faced Owen.

I've already shared some initial thoughts about my Sundance experience so far, and Monday was another day of indie film, chilled hands, and long ticket lines. I had the good fortune to catch the Luke Wilson drama Henry Poole Is Here, along with the premiere of Morgan Spurlock's documentary Where in the World Is Osama Bin Laden? which was followed by a pretty fascinating Q&A session. I'm determined to see more great stuff today; for now, more thoughts:

• Best movie line I've heard in a long time comes from Henry Poole Is Here, in a scene featuring Henry (Luke Wilson) walking with his neighbor Esperanza (Adriana Barraza).

Us is reporting a rumor that Jessica Simpson's movie Blonde Ambition will go straight to DVD here in the U.S., though it will get a theatrical release internationally. I find this amusing for two main reasons:

• Big daddy/manager Joe Simpson pulled the movie's summer release date because he apparently didn't want it to have to compete with the summer's big movies. So now it seems like he doesn't have much faith in the movie...
