Some conspiracy theories never die, and following a 20th anniversary screening of JFK, director Oliver Stone and political pundit Larry Sabato will share their own theories.

Every few years, local legend Sissy Spacek shows up at the film fest, and this year it's for a Saturday screening of her debut 1973 film, Badlands, along with husband Jack Fisk, whom she met on the set.

You may have seen 22-year-old Mia Wasikowska in Alice in Wonderland or The Kids Are All Right or Jane Eyre. This weekend, look for her in Albert Nobbs on Saturday at the Paramount.

Just in case the movies aren't enough, the Virginia Film Festival sprinkles in a few stars.

What happened to Larry Flynt? Isn't he a festive enough face?

humm there's a fresh face and new viewpoint- Prof. Larry's. One piece of media advice for prof Larry - no need to delete this ,it is not personal but professional given his media (over) exposure. He needs to lighten up the 1950s style Norfolk Va accent and yes, I'm from Norfolk and sound shume like that too!
