The very first Independent Film Festival of Boston kicked off it's four day schedule last night with the East Coast premiere of Dummy, Adrien Brody's first starring role since picking up an award for his work in the Pianist earlier this year. The fest continues this weekend at three area independent filmhouses (the Brattle,Coolidge Corner, and Somerville theaters), so head on over to their website for the schedule.
Schedule stand-outs, at least at first glance ... Melvin Goes to Dinner, directed by Bob Odenkirk from Mr. Show, playing tonight and Sunday. w / Jack Black, Maura Tierney, and David Cross. (The always funny Mr. Odenkirk will be appearing at the Sunday screening). 13 Moons, playing tonight and Saturday night. A great looking ensemble drama with Steve Buscemi, Sam Rockwell, Peter Stormare, Elizabeth Bracco, Jennifer Beals, and Pruitt Taylor Vince. The director will be on hand to introduce the film. IvansXTC, also playing on Saturday night and Sunday night. A well-reviewed Hollywood mortality tale with Danny Huston and Peter Weller. Nothing So Strange, a fictionalized account of the assassination of Bill Gates, showing at this afternoon and at midnight on Saturday. Soft for Digging, a near-silent horror film, completed as a student thesis by up-and-coming director and screenwriter JT Petty, playing at midnight and tomorrow night. West of Here, a road-trip story starring Josh Hamilton, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Tate Donovan, screening tonight and tomorrow morning. I'd recommend Dummy as well, but if you're only now reading this, you missed it just like I did. (postscript : The irony of my posting about an indie film fest as I'm hours away from seeing X2 has not escaped me.)  |
