**_A film crew descends upon a New England town…_** …with William H. Macy playing the director, Philip Seymour Hoffman the troubled writer and David Paymer the no-nonsense producer. Written & directed by David Mamet, it’s a dialogue-driven quirky comedy/drama that pokes fun at the film business. The dialogue is fairly rat-a-tat-tat and so you’ll probably miss a lot of good lines, but this gives the flick great…
