Out and About in LA: Movies

So this is a movie blog primarily but lately it’s been all travelogue stuff. Moving across the country will do that. So this week I decided to get back into the swing of things and partake in some films. One from a comedy standpoint and the other experiencing a big budget blockbuster.

Wednesday

You may recall that earlier this year I reviewed the worst film (currently) of the year in Taken 3. Before I moved to LA I learned that comedian, and all around movie lover, Doug Benson was going to ‘Interrupt’ the show near me. If you don’t know, Doug Benson’s Movie Interruption is where he and several of his comedian friends watch a movie and riff on it. It’s like MST3K or RiffTrax but more blue. Unfortunately I couldn’t take pictures of the film in progress but I can report it was hilarious. There were character bits, good eye for crazy detail by Benson, and a runner on bagels that only makes sense if you were there.

I will certainly go back as it seems to be a monthly event. By the way this all took place at The Cinefamily. A movie theater that houses all sort of special events. Like silent movies, comedy shows, and very specific genres. Again, it seems like a cool place for a film buff like myself so don’t be surprised if you see me pop up there again.

     

Saturday

The movie I have been waiting for is FINALLY here! Mad Max: Fury Road has been labeled as completely bonkers but undeniably fun. In fact this might be the most critically acclaimed picture of 2015 (so far). So I decided to go all out and go to the new theater called Arclight in Culver City. It’s a pretty swanky place and I wish New Jersey had seats like this! I’ll eventually have a report on the film itself and, dare I say, a return to film reviews. But for now enjoy what could be if you were in Culver with me right now.

Refn Weekend

By complete purpose and not at all by accident this weekend is going to be:

NICOLAS WINDING REFN WEEKEND!

Stay tuned in Saturday and Sunday for all things Refn.

Saturday: I look at an amazing scene in his film Bronson. Expect tons of nudity!

Sunday: A review of the new documentary My Life Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn

But tell for for today: What’s your favorite Refn film? I won’t hold it against you if its Drive cause, let’s face it, it is amazing. But what about your favorite, non-Drive film? That’s a tough one.

Most Anticipated Films of 2015: January-June

Let’s face it, a shit ton of movies come out each year. Whether it be through theater, DVD, or even streaming there is going to be a ton of options to choose from. Some films are going to be bigger than others but there are smaller releases that will fall through the grapevine as well. For the next two days I’m going to cover some of the films I am most looking forward to for the new year. All release dates are tentative so if things change in the coming months do not blame me. Blame the system!
