'Break A Leg'<br />
Program: “Table Talk,” noon today<br />
Nation: Canada<br />
Run time: 7 minutes<br />
Director: Jesse Shamata<br />
Story: A jaded gangster sits at a table explaining his job to a silent<br />
companion, who is apparently his next assignment.<br />
Scene from “Break A Leg” (PHOTOS COURTESY of palm<br />
springs international shor)<br />
Scorecard: 9 (out of 10). This dramatic film sucks you in with its great<br />
dialogue (monologue, actually) and a frighteningly real performance by the<br />
gangster, Chuck Shamata. And director Shamata wraps up this delightful<br />
package with a wonderful surprise ending.<br />
'<strong>The</strong> <strong>Foal</strong>'<br />
Program: “Animal Attraction,” noon, and “On Top Down Under,” 6 p.m. today<br />
Scene from “<strong>The</strong> <strong>Foal</strong>”<br />

Story: A young girl finds solace trying to raise a foal on her uncle's ranch<br />
after her mother's death — not knowing the foal is dead.<br />
Scorecard: 8 (out of 10). <strong>The</strong> concept of this film stretches the boundaries of<br />
believability, but the performance by the little girl (Olivia Quinn) is so<br />
amazing and the cinematography is so beautiful that this is definitely a<br />
superior piece of filmmaking.<br />
