Movies for the week of May 18

I've been reading about Cannes lately and wondering what good movie-going the future holds. According to the article, we can look forward to seeing a new Jane Campion film about John Keats. I look forward to it.

In the meantime, I'd like to see Adoration the new Atom Egoyan movie. Ok, it does have a lot of potential for awful, but then again....Atom Egoyan?! He is awesome. You can see it this week at the Landmark Sunshine.

Empty Pockets Alert:

We all know how much I love Barbara Stanwyck—my favorite wisecracking lady hero. So you can imagine my delight with this “empty pockets” event: the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts will be screening Ball of Fire (also known as The Professor and the Burlesque Queen”) on 5/19 at 2:30 pm. Howard Hawkes, Barbara Stanwyck, burlesque and a group of underground professors...what more could you ask for?

    Yasmine, have you gone to any of the "cultural" institutes for film? Goethe Institute, Japan Society, etc.? This caught my eye:

    Thanks for your comments, Leila. To answer your questions:
    1) The Sweet Hereafter.
    2) I have not yet gone to any of the cultural institutes for film. It's on my list of things to do.

    I hope you make it to see "Adoration" soon, as I am very curious about your thoughts on the film.

    I cannot believe that Yasmine liked Adoration. I had a serious wager that you would not like it. It just goes to show you may still have a few tricks up your sleeve. I thought Adoration was great.
