It has only been open for a few months, but I am really beginning to like the Vancity Theatre<\/a> at the Vancouver Int\u2019l Film Centre.<\/span><\/p>\n

The schedules there are a tad erratic, with films frequently paired together that have nothing to do with each other \u2014 tonight\u2019s double-bill, if you can call it that, was an excellent adaptation of Truman Capote\u2019s In Cold Blood<\/a><\/i> (1967) and a documentary on same-sex marriage and pot legalization called Escape to Canada<\/a><\/i> (2005) \u2014 but I\u2019ve caught a number of interesting items there the last few weeks, including all of last year\u2019s Oscar-nominated live-action<\/a> and animated<\/a> short films, the editing documentary Edge Codes<\/a><\/i> (2004), and a couple of mildly risqu\u00e9 1930s flicks directed by Alfred E. Green, namely The Dark Horse<\/a><\/i> (1932), a hilarious political satire co-starring Bette Davis, and Baby Face<\/a><\/i> (1933), which stars Barbra Stanwyck as a poor gal who sleeps her way to the top; one of her conquests is a young John Wayne.<\/p>\n

Tonight, I picked up their newest program, and noticed that they will be running a retrospective of Terrence Malick\u2019s films \u2014 including the shorter, 135-minute version of The New World<\/a><\/i> which I have not yet seen \u2014 in mid-July. So it looks like I still have a chance to see it on the big screen after all! And while I didn\u2019t care for The Thin Red Line<\/a><\/i> all that much both times I saw it circa 1998, it will be good to give Badlands<\/a><\/i> (1973) and especially Days of Heaven<\/a><\/i> (1978) another look \u2014 and on the big screen, for once.<\/p>\n

Other upcoming items that are worth noting, some of which I have seen before, and a few of which I have not:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. David Lynch\u2019s Blue Velvet<\/a><\/i> (1986) \u2014 June 9-15<\/li>\n
  2. Dennis Hopper\u2019s Out of the Blue<\/a><\/i> (1980), filmed in Vancouver \u2014 June 12-13<\/li>\n
  3. Roberto Rossellini\u2019s The Flowers of St. Francis<\/a><\/i> (1950) and Guy Maddin\u2019s My Dad is 100 Years Old<\/a><\/i> (2005), starring Rossellini\u2019s daughter Isabella \u2014 June 26-29<\/li>\n
  4. Blaine Thurier\u2019s Male Fantasy<\/a><\/i> (2004), featuring a cameo by my sister Monica<\/a> \u2014 August 6<\/li>\n
  5. Powell & Pressburger\u2019s The Red Shoes<\/a><\/i> (1948) \u2014 August 11-17<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    And, of course, many other items as well. An exhaustive list of the upcoming films for the next couple months is available here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
