American Cinematheque

[€uroMeinke]

American Cinematheque (http://www.americancinematheque.com/)has some cool film serries coming up. First up at the Egyptian from September 9-11 is a collection of "Japanese Outlaw Masters" including the 1967 gangster film, Branded to Kill, a film Not Afraid and I saw on recommendation from Mousepod. Other films include: Goyokin, The Wolves, Kill!, Wolves Pigs and People.

Competing with this, over at the Aero in Santa Monica is a Alfred Hitchcock Retrospective (Spetember 1-11) which includes: The 39 Steps, Rear Window, Psycho, North by Northwest, Notorious, and Vertigo.

I'm not sure if we'll make it to any of these, but if you're ever in the mood to see some classic cinema on the big screen, remember to check out American Cinematheque (http://www.americancinematheque.com/).

[Not Afraid]

We've been fans and frequenters of Americancinemathique for years (of course it helps haveing a very good friend as a programmer). But, since they opend their second theater, they have been offering more programming along the lines of my old, dearly departed Balboa.

I grew up before VHS and spent a great deal of time watching old films on big screens. It really shapped my life. I'm so happy that there is an increase in showing old films in the format they should be seen in. Maybe this positive trend will continue. I know Edwards in OC is showing 80's films each Wednesday.

I hope it is a trend because, it makes me very happy!
