DUE DATE What's that? Planes, Trains, & Automobiles is screening tonight at the Bagdad?
THE NORTHWEST FILM & VIDEO FESTIVAL Regional film gets its moment in the spotlight—and don't miss our interview with Warren Etheredge, host of What's Wrong with This Picture?
TAMARA DREWE Just like any other boring British pastoral flick, except it's not boring. And it's sexy!
FAIR GAME Hey guys, nice job casting Sean Penn as the self-righteous loudmouth. We'll see if he can pull it off.
SOMETHING'S GONNA LIVE Unlike Red, here's a film about geriatric badasses that's actually worth your time.
MEGAMIND It was originally titled Oobermind, but DreamWorks changed it, presumably because they assumed Americans were too dumb to know what "über" means. In their defense, Due Date will probably be number one at the box office this weekend, so maybe that was the right call.
BLACK CAT Old-school Japanese horror! Creeeeeeeeeepy.
More, as ever, in our Film Shorts and Movie Times.
