Boston Underground Film Festival 2012.01 (29 March): John Dies at the End

Ugh, nothing like getting the first review from a film festival out nearly a week after the festival ends. And things are only going to get slower!Opening night was fun, and would have been even more fun if it hadn’t been ridiculously cold. Believe it or not, there was beautiful spring-like weather in Boston a [...]

Traumatized Children: Monsieur Lazhar and Intruders

A day mostly spent at the Boston Underground Film Festival didn’t figure to be a day when I saw good work from a bunch of young actors. But, go figure, I liked the kids in both of these movies, and the little girl in Some Guy Who Kills People, and the boy in Klovn. It [...]

This Week In Tickets: 26 March 2012 – 1 April 2012

Look at all these tickets:Yep, festival time, so the weekend was spent on ever-increasing numbers of movies and even a shorts program. Sunday was especially nuts, with five movies in three venues in as many different cities.It was also a weird day for walkouts. Nothing from Monsieur Lazhar, but a couple of people left Intruders [...]

Next Week in Tickets: Films playing Boston 30 March 2012 – 5 April 2012

Aaaagh, dang it, I could have sort-of-kind-of extended BUFF another night but I forgot to pre-order tickets for something. Son of a…The Boston Underground Film Festival is cut down from what it was last year – one screen instead of two, half as many movies, only running four days instead of eight. But, you can [...]

The Hunger Games and its cinematic parents: Battle Royale & Winter’s Bone

The joke has been making the rounds more lately, but probably started roughly ten seconds after somebody read a description of Suzanne Collins’s young adult novel: "What do they call The Hunger Games in France? Battle Royale with cheese." It’s unfair, of course, especially if the implication is that Collins was inspired by Koushun Takami’s [...]

Early Hitchcock: The 39 Steps and The Lady Vanishes

Well, I was kind of hoping that this Sunday night double-feature would be a Sunday afternoon one, but someone went and booked the theater for a wedding. The nerve!As always, it’s great to see these in 35mm, a reminder of how much I love Hitchcock, with The 39 Steps a particular favorite. It’s always somewhat [...]

This Week In Tickets: 19 March 2012 – 25 March 2012

It was warm last week. Like, after working from home on Monday, I got a potato and some steak tips from the grocery store, fired up the grill, and had a delicious dinner. I watched (spring training) baseball on Thursday night, and it didn’t feel ridiculousSo, of course, the weekend comes and it gets cold [...]

Next Week in Tickets: Films playing Boston 23 March 2012 – 29 March 2012

One movie hitting multiplexes this weekend, and I’m not saying it’s a big deal, but there are an astonishing number of things attempting to ride its coattails. I, personally, picked up a Blu-ray set of Battle Royale on Tuesday and the new volume of Gunslinger Girl on Wednesday.There’s something really creepy about there being a [...]
