I don't know about you folks but I'm pretty excited about the super indie film WENDY AND LUCY coming to the Dryden this weekend with not 1 but 10 screenings! I'm liking that the Dryden has been bringing current movies to our community that we would otherwise wait eagerly on video. I know the film does not have GLBT content but as you know, I love movies in general anyway. This one in particular boasts a smashing performance from Michelle Williams who actually won several critics' awards for her role here. Check out the Dryden Calendar for its screening schedule. Oh and it's only 80 minutes long ... a rarity these days. In Berlin, most of the films I watched were 2 hours long, and I even sat through a 3-hour Mexican experimental film (ouch!) and a 4-hour Japanese drama with lesbian-ish tendencies. Okay I lied. I got so hungry I walked out of the Japanese movie. But I can't imagine the ImageOut audiences enjoying that film anyway. And in these times of hardships, I can't imagine renting two theater timeslots for one movie. But I digress. Hope you'll catch WENDY AND LUCY at the Dryden this weekend. And let me know what you think.~MG
P.S. Also noticed that the Dryden is bringing back the homoerotic teen vampire flick LET THE RIGHT ONE IN (see what I thought of the movie here) for another engagement on March 20, Friday. Yet another chance for those people who missed it the first time around. I think I might even see it again myself!

I liked it!
Liar! You told me you didn't. Hehehe.
No...I did. Didn't love it...but liked it. One of those "one week in the life of" movies.
Lots of times I may not love a movie...but I'm glad I saw it. Except for Schenakie, N.Y. (or however you spell it), with Phillip Seymour Hoffman, one of may favorite actors. now THERE was one weird movie that I could;t wait for it to end.
Sometimes you can make the pain go away sooner just by walking out. Hehe. I do that many times when I'm in film festivals. But it's more to make better use of my time.
I can't remember if I've ever actually walked out of a movie or not. I usually just suffer through it. I saw a thought- provoking and well done film tonight that some of the blog readers might enjoy.....THE CLASS,
now showing at The Little. It's a French film.
