Fringe for Free – Nana, Friday at 11:30pm

contest-web-graphic I haven’t had a chance to see this one, but I’m pretty interested in it.  It kind of got panned in EYE, but several enthusiastic commenters explained just how much they disagreed with the reviewer and encouraged folks to go check it out.  That always makes something more intriguing to me, and I really do hope I get a chance to go see it.

To win a pair of free tickets to tonight’s 11:30pm showing of Nana all you need to do is leave a comment* sometime before 9:30pm today (Friday) .
