Talk Cinema - Buzz Talk & News

Aaaand, done, sixteen days after the festival. It probably could have been a couple days earlier, but Talk Cinema's last program screening before summer break was one that had played during IFFBoston (good thing I made other choices on Sunday!), and...

I didn't actually see Lore at a Talk Cinema showing - that was the plan, but then it got delayed a week due to that old-fashioned February blizzard, bumping it to the week of the sci-fi marathon. That means that there are two movies on the ten-movie...

I don't know if Ginger & Rosa will actually be sliding into the same screen at Kendall Square that Upside Down currently occupies, but that's the way they're rotating things at that theater this Friday. One movie where Timothy Spall serves as th...

I missed the last Talk Cinema screening while I was in London, but since Quartet opened today, that's just money spent rather than opportunity lost. I actually didn't get much of a chance to look forward to this one, since it wasn't announced until...

No, I didn't miss a posting; I just had one of those rare weeks where I didn't see movies due to low churn at the boutique houses and uninspiring choices at the multiplex. Plus one of those colds that borders on being the flu. Can't really say you'r...

Just in case anybody from Magnolia is reading this and wants to get on me, eFilmCritic, or Independent Film Festival Boston - I'm not breaking the embargo imposed on the IFFBoston screening, because I wasn't there (I saw Think of Me instead) and didn...

A day mostly spent at the Boston Underground Film Festival didn't figure to be a day when I saw good work from a bunch of young actors. But, go figure, I liked the kids in both of these movies, and the little girl in Some Guy Who Kills People, and t...

Usually, the roughly-monthly Talk Cinema series is hosted by a local film critic; this time around, it was hosted by the man who runs the program (which also occurs in other cities and puts together travel packages to film festivals), and... Well, i...

Super Bowl Sunday for me started and ended with previews - We Need to Talk About Kevin has opened in some places, but not Boston, while The Salt of Life is apparently another month away from even limited release.Both of them have their premises pret...

The Talk Cinema series has been going on for a while - a few years at the Coolidge, and I think it was at one of the mainstream multiplexes before that (Fenway, maybe, back when it was a GCC theater). As tempting as some of the things that play ther...
