UPDATE: Ring in for LALT’s ‘Dead Man’s Cell Phone’

By Bonnie Gordon

Mild-mannered Jean is calmly eating a bowl of lobster bisque in a café when she’s disturbed by an annoying cell phone at the next table.

Review by Kelly Dolejsi

And in fact, the film did win an Oscar for Best Writing, Adapted Screenplay, and was nominated for four others: Best Achievement in Directing Read More
