The Future: I’ve seen The Future and it’s pretty darn interesting. Miranda July’s second film since the adored, yet funnily odd Me and You and Everyone We Know has a lot of the same quirky charm. Monday, May 23rd, 4:30pm at SIFF Cinema
White Irish Drinkers: Not so much my cup of tea, but this 1970s coming of age flick will probably be loved by some Brooklynites. Saturday, May 28th, 9:30pm at Harvard Exit and Sunday, May 29th, 4:00pm at Harvard Exit
Codependent Lesbian Space Alien Seeks Same: If Ed Wood were a lesbian, he would have made this movie. It’s very funny – the plot is hysterically shallow (as you might expect from a movie with this title). The only thing that was a little over the top was the black and white film – it was a bit out of place and was lost on me. Saturday, May 28th, 9:45pm and Sunday, May 29th, 4:00pm at Egyptian Theatre
Surrogate Valentine: A delightful rom com about an actor who’s following a musician who’s following love – set in San Fran and Seattle. While it seems to be the year of Black and White movies, this flick uses it well. The musician, Goh Nakamura, plays the perfect self-conscious indie artist so well that it almost seems like this could’ve been a documentary. Go (durr) see this movie if you want more than a few good chuckles. Sunday, May 29th, 9:30pm at Harvard Exit
