Film Portland Film for the Week of December 28-January 3!

So three web-only additions to this week’s Film section:

1) MOVIE TIMES! A bunch of theaters—including Fox Tower, Lloyd Cinemas, the Kennedy School, Century Eastport, and the Living Room Theaters—weren’t able to get us showtimes for the week of December 28-January 3 by our deadline. We now have those times, though, and you can get ‘em via Found It! (There are also some late-breaking changes for film times at the Avalon, the Milwaukee, and the Clinton.)

2) BLOOD! For those of you who can’t wait until January 11 to see Paul Thomas Anderson’s There Will Be Blood when it opens in Portland, there’s an early screening on Saturday, December 29, at midnight at Cinema 21. (In a rare fit of generosity and/or stupidity, I let Chas go to the press screening instead of going myself, and I’ve been kicking myself ever since.) Anyway, considering how many people are excited about the film, I’d recommend snagging advance tickets.

3) UNFORTUNATE! I saw Alien vs. Predator: Requiem. I guess this whole debate is kind of moot at this point, since now there’s this stupid fucking Predalien thing, but I’d just like to take this opportunity to reiterate just how goddamn stupid Predators are in general. And yes, this assertion is 99.99 percent based on their dreadlocks. Which is totally fair.

Can't wait to see There Will Be Blood...it looks brilliant.

I work @ Cinema 21 and tickets for "There Will Be Blood" are going FAST (!!) it WILL sell out (despite the 550 seats..)

The box office opens 30 min before the first screening, generally 630pm on weekdays- anyway, I'm kicking myself for not going to the press screening either, but I will be at this showing.. YES!!

TWBB left me speechless, absolutely phenomenal film, instant classic.
