FLOOD: Why, why, why are all the good old movies showing in the same week??? This week brings “The Birds,” “Topaz” (OK, probably not a great movie, but I’m a Hitchcock completist and I haven’t seen this yet), “The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance,” “Mildred Pierce,” “Macao,” “Night of the Hunter,” “White Heat,” “Colorado Territory,” and “Five Star Final,” plus a few more that I don’t need to see again right now (“Marnie,” “Mr. Smith Goes to Washington,” “Double Indemnity,” “Notorious”). This will require major schedule-juggling, but I’m going to try hard to make at least five flicks. May see one movie a day for a week, which would be great fun.

You can find showtimes and capsule reviews in your friendly local City Paper. Or if you wait until tomorrow, you can find them here. So much for taking advantage of the speedy Internet.
