The Number 23
Being a graduate from UCSB, I always plan to take advantage of the Santa Barbara Intl. Film Festival just to return to the ol' stomping grounds. I have yet to get up there (during the festival) and this year shouldn't need additional convincing thanks to the addition of a couple great films including The Number 23 and Factory Girl.

The 22nd Santa Barbara Intl. Film Festival has announced its lineup of films including The Number 23, the psychological thriller starring Jim Carrey, and Factory Girl, which tells the tale of Edie Sedgwick and Andy Warhol (Guy Pearce).
