And the last night, as usual, comes at the Coolidge Corner Theatre, in the big room. We all know what that means - duck!The IFFBoston staff has prizes for you - look out!Apparently, the festival staff did not get rid of all of the previous year's t-...

Ah, the Tuesday of IFFBoston. The "showcase day", when the festival shows two movies that aren't deemed to be opening/closing night material but are worthy of being shown without alternative screenings. During the three previous years, a...

The Monday on the IFFBoston schedule is sort of an in-between day - it's not a big moviegoing night in general, so few of what are expected to be the big premieres are playing (although the demand for El Bulli last year seemed to catch them by surpri...

This is how it starts... I know I'm not going to get a This Week In Tickets post done during the festival, but I figure the next week isn't unreasonable, and then when that week passes I'm barely done writing up February, and before you know it it's...

I planned for this to be the crazy marathon day and maybe the fact that it wasn't that kind of gauntlet wound up being for the best - watching six films doesn't sound like a whole lot more "work" than four, but running from one theater to a...

This Week in Tickets will be taking this week off for a double-shot next week. After all...... those dates plus the two days at the Coolidge straddle a weekend on the calendar pretty evenly, so it makes sense to let them run together.As to Friday sp...

The anecdote in the first paragraph of the Pelotero review is the truth; I was going to give the movie a pass because I've seen enough other baseball movies on similar subjects that I didn't necessarily feel the need to see another until Brian Tamm b...

Hey, rest of the country, why don't you have Patriot's Day like Maine and Massachusetts do? Sure, it's more of an elective holiday than one that everybody gets these days, but if you do take it, it's a day off when spring is just getting nice, an ex...

Last week, the teacher of my Japanese class told me that she had found my blog sort of by chance (I'd mentioned that I reviewed movies here and for eFilmCritic, and it certainly didn't escape her attention that eiga was one of the Japanese words I al...

Let's have some Horrible Photography!That's Manborg's Steve Kostanski along with the directors of the shorts that preceded his movie, both of which were pretty good. They were all united by a sort of lo-fi throwback aesthetic, although expressed in...

Look at all these tickets:Yep, festival time, so the weekend was spent on ever-increasing numbers of movies and even a shorts program. Sunday was especially nuts, with five movies in three venues in as many different cities.It was also a weird day f...

This Week in Tickets is going to be rolled into next week's, I think. There's one thing on it (SF/37), and I don't need to write about each movie twice.The Golden Age of Science Fiction director Eric SolsteinWe were in theater #2 for this one, and I...

Weak attempt at a theme post, seeing as these two movies really have very little to do with each other than both being in Spanish. I did see them on consecutive nights, though, so that's kind of a theme. But, as far as Latin American countries go,...

I swear, tickets at the Coolidge keep getting bigger. I think they know about this blog and are jockeying for real estate on the screen.OK, that's because I pre-ordered a ticket for Celeste and Jesse Forever and thus printed it out at home. Meanwhi...

Okay; new plan: This Week In Tickets goes up when I get to the office on Monday morning, because punctuality is cool when you do something on a regular basis.(Note: That sentence was written at 11:10pm Sunday night)(Yes, I know it would have done th...
