It's been a weird couple of weeks without me reviewing any major releases. I skipped the press screening for Mockingjay because there were so many restrictions on my attendance...well, I just couldn't see Katniss putting up with all those rules. I'll be seeing it on Sunday. Catch my rating at my letterboxd.com account.
NOW IN THEATERS...
* Bad Turn Worse, a sparse little crime thriller with designs on Jim Thompson.
* Keep on Keepin' On, this jazz documentary about an old trumpet player and his blind protege is a good cure for Whiplash.
Revival movies playing in Portland include Ginger Rogers in Roxie Hart and a festival of WWI movies, including The Big Parade and Paths of Glory.
Whereas, Portlanders, you've already missed these, but who knows, other locales might be getting:
* Pulp: A Film About Life, Death & Supermarkets
* Two evenings with experimental filmmaker Ben Russell
WATCH IT AT HOME...
* It Happened One Night, the screwball comedy that started it all, starring Clark Gable and Claudette Colbert, directed by Frank Capra.
* L'Avventura, Michelangelo Antonioni's classic breakthrough coming to Blu-ray from Criterion.
Current Soundtrack: Tim Wheeler, Lost Domain
