The Bite:
imageNot holding your breath on spotting the Pitt-Jolie crew in downtown Denver anytime soon? Gawk at Starz Denver Film Festival instead. A couple other s'lebs (rumored: Adrien Brody), and some major small-screen buzz over 19 indie flicks and shorts filmed by CO locals will be in the house. Our pick: The Border Wall, which shows how the 670-mile fence between the United States and Mexico affects communities and wildlife reserves. Starz serves up movie munchies in compostable containers and makes sure CFLs light all the theaters. Plus, if you buy a reusable water bottle, you'll get a free soft drink; or grab carbon offsets from Sustainable Travel International with your ticket - SDFF'll match what you spend. Fascinating.
Wanna Try: 
Starz Denver Film Festival; Nov. 13-23; most screenings at the Starz FilmCenter at the Tivoli, 900 Auraria Parkway at Ninth St. (303-595-3456). Tickets, $11/single film; $60/six films. Accessible by bus or light rail.

Cocktail Fact

For her first marriage - to Jonny Lee Miller (now playing TV's Eli Stone) - Angelina Jolie wore black leather pants and a white shirt, upon which she wrote the groom's name in her blood.

Small Changes Add Up

If 10,000 Denver Biters buy $2.50 carbon offsets with their movie tickets, we'll avert the CO2 equivalent of taking 175 cars off the road for a year.
