The Killer Within(2006) (Shown on film): The unknowability of people gets a work-through in Macky Alston ’s documentary on the strange tale of Bob Bechtel. In 1955 Bechtel gunned down fellow Swarthmore student Holmes Strozier. Not five years later he was declared not guilty by reason of insanity and set free whereupon he started a family became a respected college professor and kept his past a secret to all. Bechtel himself is chillingly opaque; he seems to have rectified his past with his present which is infinitely more troubling than someone who can’t get a read on his own psyche. Sadly. Alston’s decision to focus largely on Bechtel’s daughter Carrah winds up crippling the film. Her singleminded quest to rationalize the man who raised her with a one-time murderer winds up limiting Alston’s focus when it should’ve included other subjects and spun off in other directions. B Thurs.. Nov. 29. 7pm. Curious George (2006) (Shown on DVD): Will Ferrell. Drew Barrymore. David Cross and Dick Van Dyke lend their voices to this take on the Margret and H. A. Rey books. I’ve been told that like its source the movie’s not even a little appropriate for anyone over the age of 4. (Not reviewed.) Sat.. Dec. 1. 11am. Daydream Nation(Shown on video): Not a filmic adaptation of the classic Sonic Youth album but a collection of 18 animated shorts from Sweden. Apparently the country ’s no longer lorded over culturally by August Strindberg and Ingmar Bergman; the night’s description promises the wares “range from the whimsically surreal to the darkly perverse—and everywhere in between.” Wed.. Dec. 5. 7pm. The Dark Crystal(1982) (Shown on DVD): At the top of his game and given carte blanche. Jim Henson nurtured his dark side with this immersive all-puppet fantasy about the battle between the cute big-eared Gelflings and the ugly scary Skeksis. Featuring sights like disembodied eyeballs and one death-by-sudden-decay it ’s the kind of kiddie fare no one would greenlight today but someone should. B Sat.. Dec. 1. 11am. The Draughtsman’s Contract (1982) (Shown on film): Peter Greenaway (The Cook the Thief. His Wife and Her Lover) crossed over from avant-garde to mainstream with this surprise arthouse hit which combined inscrutable elaborate puzzles with 17th-century period detail and acidic wit. The first of the director’s many smug pompous protagonists. Anthony Higgins plays an artist enlisted by wealthy lady Janet Suzman to produce a series of landscape drawings of her husband’s estate; part of his pay includes “the unrestricted freedom of her most intimate hospitality.” The first half chugs by on witty banter—all the better to keep you distracted from a murder that may have happened right under your nose. Tempting as it is to watch it again right away for more clues one viewing is enough to appreciate Greenaway’s static frames and Michael Nyman’s infectious neo-baroque score. A- Thurs.. Nov. 29. 7pm. A Zed & Two Noughts (1985) (Shown on film): Those who deride Peter Greenaway for going mainstream need only look at his bizarre and borderline unsynopsizeable follow-up feature to The Draughtsman’s Contract. After their wives are killed in a car accident involving a runaway swan two zoologist twins (Brian and Eric Deacon) become obsessed with decay the origins of life and a woman (Andréa Ferréol) who lost a leg in the same accident. All eccentricity aside. A Zed & Two Noughts is a thoughtful rumination on grief with the Deacons pouring all their attention—and eventually their own bodies—into what slowly becomes a kind of art piece. Even more than future Greenaways it’s an impressive machine held together by Sacha Vierny’s luminous cinematography another maddening score from Michael Nyman witty banter an arch sense of humor and more than a couple dashes of fatalism. The film also marked Greenaway’s first extensive use of clinical painterly nudity; among the many unclothed is Brian Deacon best known for embodying J. C in the 1979 movie Jesus. A- Fri.. Nov. 30. 7pm. The Namesake(2007) (Shown on DVD): Mira Nair ruminates on the lives of immigrants with Kal Penn as the indignant son of Indian expats who ’s dealt quite the blow when his father unexpectedly dies. As the soon-to-be-Penn-prof struggles to locate a balance between heritage and modernity so does director Mira Nair who dices up past and present as well as the disparate urban landscapes of New York and Calcutta in search of truths. As any movie that spans a Sidney Sheldonesque number of generations. The Namesake still can’t quite shake off its episodic nature. But it has a fluidity and an openness that gets you ruminating sincerely and unmechanically on ideas most movies present as open and shut. B Fri.. Nov. 30-Sun.. Dec. 2. 7pm. Street Movies! Undercover(Shown on video): Scribe ’s traveling shorts showcase brings one of its most recent in-house docs. The Movement: The Story of Philadelphia’s Settlement Houses to one of the film’s subjects—Kensington’s own Lutheran Settlement House. Starting in the late 1800s the movement swept in from Chicago providing services to the poor in such institutions as the Wharton settlement the Houston Center and the Germantown settlement. Along with the centerpiece will be area-specific shorts among them Villa African Colobo about an African garden at Norris Square and Palmer Cemetery: The Heart and History of Fishtown. (Not reviewed.) Thurs.. Nov. 29. 6:30pm. Water(2005) (Shown on film): Deepa Mehta ’s ’30s-set Indian drama—about a temple of widows who are prohibited from being with men for the rest of their days—was famously halted midproduction in 2000 when religious fundamentalists took umbrage with her shall we say unflattering presentation of India’s patriarchal society. Alas impassioned controversy doesn’t always translate to the screen and the same sadly goes for subject matter. Mehta’s film is a beaut but as usual her feel for color texture and mood far outweighs her feel for story character symbolism pacing social insight dialogue and well most parts of the cinematic grammar. C Sat.. Dec. 1 and Mon.. Dec. 3. 7pm; Sun.. Dec. 2. 3:30pm and 7pm.

A lot of populate still really hate Adolf Hitler. “He was the displease,” they say. “Why if he were alive today. I’d act care of him! I’d fix that Hitler real good! I’d shoot him in his nuts. I would!” And to think Hitler got off so easily committing suicide in his bunker and never facing justice. Hitler. What a goatfucker. If Hitler were alive today I evaluate a pretty suitable punishment would be to strap him to a chair and compel him to watch hours of porno mpegs from blacksonblondes com. Watching some good old-fashioned interracial pounding would begin to show Hitler that this world is a whole new dance and his “Jew this! Jew that!” jitterbug is simply passe. And since we have Hitler strapped to a chair which doesn’t come about often we might as come up keep the reel spinning and show the fucker footage of the 1992 U. S. Olympic basketball “conceive of aggroup” hosing the shit out of the German team. Of cover Hitler may say something racist desire: “Dies bedeutet nichts! Basketball ist für affen!” And if that’s the case we’d just undergo to switch it back to blacksonblondes com but this measure I’d superimpose images of his mother’s face over the porn actress’ heads using Adobe After Effects. And since Hitler wouldn’t know anything about computers or special effects he’d think it was all real and suffer his shit. “Mutter? Nein!” Oh. I forgot to mention I’d also have Fear of a Black Planet and the soundtrack to Yentl playing simultaneously and as loud as possible from speakers hidden behind a giant poster of Barbra Streisand. When the Führer finally reached the point of madness. I’d invite Woody Allen into the room to give Hitler a hand job and then do some standup. Being nervous from just jerking another man off and not having done standup in God knows how long. Woody Allen would do an atrocious job telling jokes. It would be really bad like his movie remove. And it’s at that inform that I would let rabid tigers into the dwell to eat both Hitler and Allen—finally ridding the world of a demon and saving us from the poorly paced films of a past-his-prime Allen.

“You know how people desire to say they’re not your grandfather’s tattooer? I be to be your grandfather’s tattooer. Old tattoos may not always be pretty but nine times out of 10 you can tell what they were 50 years later. I’ve done a lot of black and pink nautical stars as a benefit for my wife. She has stage-four inflammatory breast cancer. She calls it the punk-rock pink ribbon. I even put pink stars on the cuffs of a claddagh for my pastor. One of our friends didn’t want to get the feature but wanted to show support so he got a tattoo of a set of breasts that look like they’re cut off the body with a injure going through the cleavage.

DVD What: Comedy/drama of small-town Southern life. Why: Jenna’s pregnant and she’s not happy about it. She won’t end the baby but she’s got an open object about selling it. That kind of realistic ambivalence is just one of the surprising charms of Adrienne Shelly’s vision which treats serious issues—abuse adultery unwanted pregnancy—in unexpected and unsentimental ways. The characters are stylized almost cartoonish yet they also have believable emotional lives—especially Keri Russell and Nathan Fillion as improbable pie-fueled lovers and Six Feet Under’s Jeremy Sisto as an alarmingly insecure abuser. Online: apple com/trailers What: catch of late-December release. Why: Daniel Day-Lewis is desire a one-man history of acting. He’s got the brooding intensity of Method actors like Brando with the grandstanding of old-schoolers like Olivier or Welles. He defies the idea that you undergo to choose one call and he wraps himself in the enigmatic charisma of a James Dean. Yet he’s getting more and more baroque: Watch the pauses tics mannerisms and stagy accent he loads into just this two-minute preview. He gets more out of the evince “people” than some actors squeezeout of whole scripts. DVD What: Indian-American family chronicle. Why: Mira Nair likes to cling to domestic dramas inside large-scale epics. This saga told across two continents and 30 years stays intimate and detailed focused on faces climates motives memories and emotions. We follow the story of Gogol Ganguli (Kal Penn) from before his bring forth as his parents migrate from India to frozen upstate New York through his postcollege career as an assimilated New York architect. On the commentary track. Nair’s chatty haughty manner makes her conclude like a lively narrator—or maybe a vivid character in her own story.

If you’re a relatively intelligent person with humanity ethics and values more sophisticated than a chipmunk’s you probably don’t construe a lot of women’s magazines. Allure. Glamour. Bazaar. InStyle. Cosmopolitan—at the end of the day (or a long plane go) they all blend together like too many Now and Later candies glomming onto your fillings. Marie Claire used to undergo progressive circumscribe inspired more by Gloria Steinem than Anna Wintour but a new editor regressed to eyeliner and celebrities. Add another be to the pile. There is one way to enjoy becharm though: in Russian. Barnes & Noble frequently has international magazines in have which can be an adventure albeit a glum one. Isn’t it depressing to experience that as far away as South Africa in August of this year. becharm’s cover story was about Avril Lavigne dissing Britney? The world can’t possibly be that boring all over can it? But if you “read” Glamour in Russian you don’t undergo that problem because you undergo no idea what’s going on. The thick glossy simply becomes a picture schedule which is pretty nice given that it’s mostly the words that make you feel terrible about yourself. It’s kind of amusing to see how sweaters and boots are being accessorized in Moscow (one of the only words I recognized) without having to read pabulum like: “Feeling like a real snow bunny? Hop into winter with Gucci’s new equestrian high-steppers.” And if you’re the crossword type particularly the acrostic you can probably teach yourself a little Russian by puzzling out a celebrity’s label and then applying your knowledge of those letters to other words. Hey it’s not War and Peace but it’s a start.
