Film What’re You Guys Seeing This Weekend?

Posted by Erik Henriksen on Fri, Feb 2 at 5:24 PM

Lame. This weekend is lethally slow for exciting new film releases. There’s the kidnapping doc Abduction at the Hollywood and Mandy Moore and Diane Keaton’s Because I Said So at every Regal Theater you can think of. Probably your best bet is either the doc on musician Carmelo Sanchez that’s at the Clinton St., or Lady Vengeance at Fifth Ave, or—if you still haven’t seen it—Children of Men. (I know I’m running this into the ground, but man, what a great movie.) If none of that sounds good—and/or if you didn’t burn out on them when you were like 12—Spike & Mike are back at Cinema 21.

You can also use the Mercury’s kickass new tool for finding movie times/music/art shows/restaurants, Found It!, to track down whatever films and times and theaters you damn well please. (Me? I’m kicking it at home this weekend, doing some reading and playing some Lost Planet: Extreme Condition on ye olde Xbox 360. Strenuous, I know. Oh, how I know.)

Below: The trailer for Lady Vengeance, which I think is fairly beautiful.

Run it into the ground, Erik: 'Children of Men' is the best dystopian pic since 'Dawn of the Dead'. Sets the bar for the scifi genre higher than it has been since '2001' and 'A Clockwork Orange'. Man, what an awesome, awesome film.

Don't forget all of the FREE African films this month: http://www.africanfilmfestival.org/
