Midnight movies on this side of the hill

One of the things I adore about Santa Cruz is that the Del Mar does crazy midnight movies... great old movies from the 80s on the big screen... it's where I got to see The Dark Crystal on the big screen for the first time ever. Over on this side of the hill, Camera Cinemas are also doing Midnight Movies now. The movies aren't quite as good, but there are a few jems in there... mayhap a ...

Taxi to the Dark Side

It comes from writer/director Alex Gibney who has among his other directing credits Enron: The Smartest Guys in the Room . From the IMDB page: "An in-depth look at the torture practices of the United States in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay, focusing on an ...

Sunday

As part of Cinema Club , there are several special events (that is, not originally scheduled) throughout the year. Today they had a showing of The Orphanage , a Spanish film by first-time director Juan Antonio Bayona. I wasn't sure that I was going to make the showing since I was at my cousin's bachelor party last night (relatively low key, and I think Dave and Busters sucks – why do people go ...

First Cinema Club event

So I went to my first Cinema Club event. I was not disappointed by the event; it was about what I expected. I was perhaps disappointed by the movie. I'm a bit nervous about the fact that kimmaa says that this might have been the best movie she's seen at Cinema Club. The movie we saw as Man in the Chair . It's the story of a high school boy who loves films and wants to be a filmmaker....

Paris je t'aime

I don't particularly like Paris. I don't particularly like Parisiens. I find them to be arrogant and chauvinist and hostile to foreigners. So why did I go see the film Paris je t'aime ? I had a feeling that it would be good. Because of the title, because of the actors (I looove Gérard Depardieu ), because it's French? Any way, it was wonderful! C'est une film extra-ordinaire! The film ...
