Walk on Water screens Tuesday night in White Hall on Emory’s campus.
Here silent film historian Kevin Brownlow discusses Abel Gance, director of the classic 1927 film Napoleon (which Brownlow restored). Looking forward to seeing Brownlow at Emory University on Thursday!
So excited to learn that silent film historian and preservationist Kevin Brownlow will be lecturing at Emory University on Dec. 1. I’m hoping to speak with him for ArtsCriticATL. This is great timing; just last November, he received an Honorary Academy Award “for the wise and devoted chronicling of the cinematic parade.” Watch his acceptance speech above, and I’ll have more later.
So hoping I can see Crossfire (1947), screening Wednesday (Nov. 2) at Emory Cinematheque. Film noir at its finest. Interestingly, in the novel the murder victim was gay and not Jewish, and the film became the first B-movie to get an Oscar nod for Best Picture.
How can you not love Bill Paxton’s whining in Aliens? “That’s it, man. Game over, man!” Midnight screenings tonight (Friday) and Saturday night at Landmark Midtown Art Cinemas. Sweet!
God bless Georgia State’s Cinefest Theatre one-night-only presentation of the classic Sam Raimi chiller, Army of Darkness. Saw this 20 years ago and it still holds off. (Nice timing that I FINALLY saw Evil Dead … I know, out of order, but still, good stuff.)
