The acclaimed documentary features Reagle, Will Shortz of the New York Times and other crossword legends, as well as fans like Bill Clinton ink and Jon Stewart (pencil). Seems like it ought to be a bigger deal Saturday is Veterans Day, and an especially somber one with the number of American troops killed in Iraq soaring toward 3,000. In Tampa, American Legion Post 152 holds its annual parade at 9 a.m. Saturday, starting at Hanley Road and Waters Avenue. In St. Petersburg, Tampa Bay Veterans for Peace will hold a memorial ceremony at 11 a.m. Saturday at Williams Park and show the Vietnam-era documentaries Winter Soldier and Sir! No Sir! at 7 p.m. at Studio@620 For information, go to www.thestudioat620.com. New name, new old theater On Friday, the restyled, renamed Asolo Repertory Theatre opens its 2006-07 season with Amadeus. The Florida State University/Asolo Conservatory troupe just opened The Parisian Woman in the freshly restored Historic Asolo Theatre in the Ringling Museum - a fabulous 18th century Italian jewel box worth the drive to Sarasota.

One more candle, one more movie Three actors with new films out this month also have birthdays this week. On Wednesday, Parker Posey (For Your Consideration) turns 38. On Friday, Brittany Murphy (Happy Feet) will be 29. And on Saturday, Demi Moore (Bobby) is 44. By Colette Bancroft, Times staff writer, (727) 893-8435 or bancroft@sptimes.com.
