Day 8 - 1/8/09 - Movie #8

BEFORE: Yeah, I needed to watch another shorter film tonight - but I'm not cheating! I really did want to watch this documentary about competitive and famous crossword puzzle solvers.

THE PLOT: An in-depth look at The New York Times' long-time crossword puzzle editor Will Shortz and his loyal fan base.

AFTER: I thought it was pretty well put together, despite the dry subject matter. I do love puzzles myself, so this was right up my alley.

RATING: 7 out of 10-across.
