While the stars are in short supply again this year (what’s the deal with that, Hollywood?), there are plenty of worthy films among the 101 being screened at this year’s Heartland Film Festival. At IBJ, we’ve spent the last month screening many of this year’s offerings. Watching them at home isn’t quite the same as seeing them on the big screen, but we think we’ve identified some of the best. You can find reviews of those here, and I’ll be adding more at Lou Harry’s A&E, my IBJ blog, which you can find here.

Indianapolis Public Schools has fired a bus driver and is recommending termination of a bus attendant after they left 4-year-old Javion Lewis, who has autism, unattended on a bus for more than two hours Tuesday. The driver picked the boy up at his daycare center but failed to drop him off as scheduled at IPS School 44. The boy didn’t get off the bus because he fell asleep. The child was found hours later, still on the vehicle at the bus depot.
