midnight SERENITY Friday@the Coolidge!

Writer-creator-director Joss Whedon is sponsoring charity screenings of his FIREFLY series film SERENITY this week and weekend. Ticket sales go to support Equality Now.

In the Boston area, midnight Friday at the Coolidge!

And, playing at other locations around the world...

Also, check out Friday night Marx Brothers at the Brattle =)

I'm way overdue for a hit of Coolidge goodness. I've been away from the Brattle for weeks as well. Both have some great options this weekend!


SERENITY - one of the best gor-am frackin honorable thieves movies ever. It also happens to be one of the biggest-hearted sci-fi flicks I've ever seen. This is what you SHOULD get in a sci-fi flick today. Effects that are dazzling AND subtle, but at no point feel like they overpower the important, timeless, bits - the characters, their relationships, plot and conflict, and the very snappy space-dialogue.

This is a big screen "sequel" to the brilliant killed-in-its-wonderful-infancy-by-Fox-surprise-surprise TV series FIREFLY, created by Joss Whedon (of BUFFY, ANGEL, and lately, ASTONISHING X-MEN). If you've never seen FIREFLY, you'll get caught up real quick in the first 15 minutes of the movie. If you've got the time and some ambition, you might try to rent the FIREFLY 2-part pilot on disc one of the series on DVD as a very enjoyable prequel.

And, if you don't hit this big screen SERENITY opp, well, you should definitely get FIREFLY and SERENITY dropped into your netflix queue. It is some of the best space-crack, I'm tellin you.

Keep on keepin on~
