What's Playing?


It's a truly rare Friday evening off from my duties as a father. Was thinking of catching a movie but seriously there's nothing out that interests me. Saw Little Miss Sunshine last week and enjoyed it. That movie Half-Nelson sounds good but not the type of movie that I want to see in the theater. So I was thinking of the Film Forum or a number of other theaters that show new prints of older films. BAM is now in the midst of a Sam Peckinpah festival, the director of Straw Dogs and many other violent films-- my favorite by him may be Pat Garrett & Billy The Kid. It also has an excellent score/soundtrack by Bob Dylan. He's got a bit part in it as well.
