Day: October 20, 2010

By Jason Apuzzo. There is some great news today, which is that Turner Classic Movies will be showing the newly restored, ‘complete’ version of Fritz Lang’s Metropolis on the evening of Sunday, November 7th – along with a documentary associated with the restoration process. Make sure to catch this important piece of cinematic history – I assure you, you won’t regret it. To read more about this special screening, visit the TCM website.

Incidentally, you can read LFM Contributor Jennifer Baldwin’s review of the newly restored, ‘complete’ Metropolis here, and you can also read my long-ago review of the ‘original’ cut of Metropolis here.

By Jason Apuzzo. We wanted our Los Angeles readers to know that there is a screening of the extraordinary new Omid Djalili comedy The Infidel here in LA tonight at 7pm, at the Harmony Gold Theater (where we used to do some of our Liberty Film Festival screenings), and both Omid Djalili and Richard Schiff will be there for a Q&A session after the film.

If you haven’t had the chance to see this film yet, you really should. [It’s available for purchase in our LFM Store as a DVD or download, by the way.] It’s completely hilarious, and deals in a warm-hearted way with a lot of taboo subjects that most American filmmakers currently seem too timid to cover.

You can read my full review of The Infidel here.
