some alternative weekend movie options

GLOBAL VOICES: the 5th Annual United Nations Association Traveling Film Festival.

Check out the films and check the showtimes and locations. They films are programmed in blocks—"Humanitarian Voices," "Women's Voices," "Voices of Identity," "Voices of Youth," "Voices of Dissent," and "American Voices"—and are programmed to play at each venue on different days and times. Over the course of the weekend, if you're T-able to Boston, they'll probably play somewhere commuter-convenient to you, in Cambridge or Boston.

And tix are only $5 per screening session! (Only available at the doors.)

Thanks to Tarah for the headzup on this film showcase!

The so-called HORRORFEST.

WTF kind of promotion/marketing/distribution is going on with this "fest?" There are several films in here that I'd really like to see. I looked them up earlier this week and the only "local" venue they were scheduled at was Showcase Revere. And one film—REINCARNATION, by the JU-ON director—was only playing at 4.30 on Friday?!

WTF? Bleah.

Well, since I last checked thru Fandango on Thursday, other venues have been added at the Horrorfest site, including Fresh Pond. Not AWEsome, but at least convenient. Something that would've been more useful had it been brought to my attention days ago, tho.

Frack. Fresh Pond via Fandango, the Phoenix, or Boston.com, doesn't actually LIST the Horrorfest screenings. Bleah. Someone's lying to me. And on the internetz! Can you believe it?

Well, the films are still the films, and like I said, the offerings look pretty decent, foreign and indie horror pictures you otherwise wouldn't be able to see on a big screen. Check them out, if you can!

If you can actually find them playing near you and get to them... Not if you can handle the shock and horror, cuz I don't really care if you can do that.

BUFFY SING-A-LONG!

The Coolidge site still lists tickets available for Saturday night's show... Whether that's accurate and your purchase will be processed, well, that's for you to find out! Good hunting.

Keep on keepin on~
