Upcoming movies in the next week

Wednesday

Che Part II
The second part of Steven Soderbergh’s nearly 5 hour epic opens on Wednesday, at the Bytowne. On Wednesday and Thursday, it is playing back to back with Part I.




Death or Canada
The Mayfair is showing this documentary about the mass immigration of Irish to Canada due to the potato and cereal famines.




Otto: or Up With Dead People
A gay vampire movie, from Canadian filmmaker Bruce La Bruce, who if you don’t know him from anything, you may at least remember his Rusty video. Mayfair.




Friday

Chandni Chowk To China
The first ever Bollywood kungfu flick. At the Mayafir (where else?)




The Big Lebowski
After No Country For Old Men, the Coen brothers followed up with the ridiculously funny Burn After Reading. After Fargo, they followed up with this, the ven funnier Big Lebowski. AT the Mayfair.




Friday the 13th: The Final Chapter
If only it had been the actual final chapter. At the Mayfair.




Race To Witch Mountain
Another remake of a Disney 70s live action flick. Dwayne “not The Rock” Johnson stars.




Miss March
Teen. Sex. Comedy. Any other synopsis would be pointless.




Last House on the Left
Remake of the Wes Craven’s notorious debut, which itself was a remake of Ingmar Bergman’s The Virgin Spring, which itself was an adaptation of a Swedish folk tale, of which there is nothing left in this new film.




Saturday


Ten years ago, myself and a bunch of friends all saw the Indiana Jones trilogy back-to-back-to-back at the Mayfair one afternoon in March. Well we’re all a bit heavier, everything is more expensive (except admission at the Mayfair) and Lucas and Spielberg have ruined our childhoods with that Crystal Skull nonsense, but the original trilogy is back, 3 for the price of one, Saturday afternoon at the Mayfair.

Raiders of the Lost Ark




Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom




Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade




Hatchet
Midnight at the Mayfair.




Sunday

Lawrence of Arabia
Say the words “epic film” to someone, and more than likely they’ll say Lawrence of Arabia. David Lean’s classic film about the life of T.E. Lawrence plays Sunday morning at the Mayfair. It’s about 3 ½ hours, but has an intermission.




Fiddler on the Roof
Come from the epic set in the Middle East, stay for the Jewish musical. Sunday afternoon at the Mayfair, right after Lawrence of Arabia.




Monday

Heavenly Creatures
The film that launched the careers of Kate Winslet and Peter Jackson. At the Bytowne.




Tuesday

In honour of St. Patrick’s day, the Mayfair is playing two irish-themed musicals, the recent Oscar-winning Once, and the classic, The Commitments. Both for the price of one.

Once




The Commitments
