Washington State University Vancouver's Diversity Council will be holding the third annual Diversity Film Festival 2010, running from Sept. 13 to Sept. 16 in the Multimedia Classroom building, room 6. The festival's theme is "Women & Diversity: Discovering Place, Space & Self." Snacks and refreshments will be provided, and all screenings are free and open to the public.

Lucky's job becomes even more challenging when Linda (Kat Sanchez), an ex-girlfriend he hasn't seen in a couple of years, shows up and hands him a toddler (Aiden Noesi) right on the street.

For years, four very close couples, friends since college, have been taking an annual vacation together to luxurious getaway spots to reconnect, reminisce, and reflect on the state of their marital relationships.

Jones).

The "One Last Big Heist" is a theme of the crime caper genre which has proven to be quite popular over the years.
