S:C's "Fethival Of Film Fethivals" delayed until Wednesday

Because I'm an IDIOT...S:C #210,  our fourth annual Fethival Of Film Fethivals,  is being delayed and will be up sometime on Wednesday evening.

We are delaying because the Santa Barbara Film Festival is not announcing their film list until this Tuesday; I mistakenly believed it had already been posted by IFS' Larry Richman, but I was confusing a different festival's list with the new SBFF list.

We are also going to feature a Golden Globes wrap up on that show.

So be back here Wednesday and we'll commence with the "Fethival of Film Fethivals"!

Subject:CINEMA #209 - "From Printed Page To Silver Screen: Stephen King!"

Subject:CINEMA is back with the second of THREE huge shows this weekend - this one, the launch of a new occasional series on the works of authors and how they have adapted to the movie treatment. This week, we kick off From Printed Page to Silver Screen with Stephen King!

"[500] Days" will charm your Summer

[500] Days Of Summer
Fox Searchlight
Starring Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Zooey Deschanel, Jeffrey Arend, Matthew Gray Gubler, Chloe Moretz

Screened at the 2009 Independent Film Festival of Boston

This is the story of two people, and as the tagline states, "Boy Meets Girl. Boy Falls In Love. Girl Doesn't". You can't get much simpler than that, folks. And you shouldn't have to.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Tom, a young greeting card writer who becomes hopelessly smitten with his boss' new assistant (Zooey DeSchanel) the second he sees her. Tom is someone who believes you won't truly be happy until you find "the one". And he's convinced that Summer is the one. But Summer isn't interested in "true love", which she says doesn't exist. But she and Tom do hook up with one another. They first become friends when Summer hears The Smiths coming out of Tom's headset in the elevator, and as the days turn into weeks, and weeks turn into months, Tom is convinced he's found the one he's been searching for. Then one day, out of the blue, Summer tells Tom that she thinks they should stop seeing each other. And from that day forward, Tom's life is dark and dreary.

Yes, folks,it IS a comedy. And a damn funny one - in fact, it is without a doubt the funniest movie I've seen in several years.

Told in non-linear fashion, bouncing to and fro through each numbered day of their time together (or apart), with narration in places, each sequence helps us to get to know both characters and how each of them sees life. Tom sees it as ordered and structured if a bit depressing, Summer as each day having its own free spirit, never to be captured again. Obviously, these two were probably never meant to be together...but the story of how they came together and apart is worth seeing - funny, enchanting, frustrating...and delightful.

Gordon-Levitt, one of my all-time favorite young actors, shines like never before here, capturing every nuance of Tom Hanson - his delight, his insecurity, his love, his frustration, and brings each emotion home to ground level. DeSchanel captures Summer's carefree attitude about life, her own inner demons, and her passiveness beautifully. They make magic together when on screen, and their supporting cast is there to make it even better.  Moretz, as Tom's 12 year old sister, is far wiser about life than her much older brother, and shows it whenever she gets a chance. Always there for him to turn to for advice and support, Moretz is a scene stealer that we should all keep an eye on.  And Arend and Gubler, as Tom's two best friends, are there to either support him or try and talk sense into him when Summer has him completely crazy, and they do so with the love and support best friends should have.

Without a doubt, [500] Days Of Summer is destined to be one of the critical hits of the year. It's quaint little charm will slowly invade your psyche and continue to press through as you think about the movie from beginning to end, and very likely will make you want to see it again.  I wanted to see it again almost immediately...and i've got quite a wait - it doesn't hit theaters until July 17th. That's the bad thing about festivals, they can tease you for MONTHS before a general release...

If there's only one smaller indie you can see this year, you have no decision to make - this one is IT.

My Score: 5 stars (out of 5)

Dixie Carter and Hal Holbrook light up screening of SXSW winner "That Evening Sun" at IFF Boston!

Kim and I caught the afternoon screening of SXSW winner That Evening Sun this afternoon, and although Barry Corbin was not in attendance as expected, both Hal Holbrook and his lovely wife Dixie Carter (who has a small part in the film) graced the screening and along with director Scott Teems were more than happy to take a few questions after the screening.  We'll have a review later in the week, and next weekend on Subject:CINEMA. But for now, here are a few photos for you!
The crowds are HUGE at the IFFB Every year!

Gee, who could this beautiful woman be? Why, it's PlatinumRoseLady herself!
