Winter Passing (2005)

 A film in which Zooey Deschanel drowns a cat, granted there is context, but she still drowned a cat. Will Farrell is in this as well, about 2 years after 'Elf', he and Deschanel fail to recapture what chemistry they had in the earlier film though here they are not a romantic coupling. 'Winter Passing' is a kind of vaguely arty, indy type film about an estranged grown daughter reuniting with her eccentric writer father (Ed Harris), there are a smattering of other films this reminds me of, all of which seemed to do it better, including 'Pieces of April', 'Wonder Boys', even 'Eulogy'. Still 'Punching Pilot' is a great name for a Christian rock band, even if they did get too Ska. **
