LAFFing through the weekend.

Elizabeth Snead is blogging from the fest for the Los Angeles Times; more coverage:

Updated.

• Robert W Welkos has a backgrounder on Mario's Story, a "legal odyssey" about Mario Rocha, who's spent over ten years behind bars, proclaiming his innocence all along.

• Mary McNamara on Ira and Abby, from the team behind Kissing Jessica Stein.

• Lisa Rosen: "Little Miss Sunshine may be the best R-rated family film out this summer - of course, it is also the only R-rated family film out this summer."

• Kevin Crust has a quick entry on the opening night.

• So does Chris Lee, followed in that same "Notebook" by John Horn's quick report on the panel, "The Revolution Will Be Digitized."

Scott Kirsner has much, much more on that panel.

Updates: Back to Twitch for Peter Martin on Before Born (Jie Guo), Old Joy and Grain in Ear (Mang Zhong).

For AJ Schnack, the move to Westwood is a better idea that it seemed at first.

Bradford Nordeen: "The Descent hits theaters August 4th and is certainly not to be missed."
