Amongst the greatest of all silent comedies, The General isn't just important, it's bloody hilarious. - Channel 4 Film
Today I look at Keaton's works more often than any other silent films. They have such a graceful perfection, such a meshing of story, character and episode, that they unfold like music.
- Roger Ebert
Wednesday & Thursday August 5 & 6
Joe Dante's second DANTE'S INFERNO film series!
Joe Dante and Bruce Dern IN PERSON on August 5
Notes from Joe Dante:
It's cheeky of me to pair my own behavioral neighborhood comedy with Michael Ritchie's brilliantly observed social satire (American Beauty eat your heart out!), but both feature one of the movies' best, most underappreciated actors, Bruce Dern. From countless tv western bad guys through his Corman days to his Oscar-nominated turn in Hal Ashby's Coming Home, Bruce has been a beacon of naturalism throughout a distinctive career that's still going strong.
The 'burbs (1989) BRAND NEW 35mm print!
http://us.imdb.com/title/tt0096734/
dir. Joe Dante, starring Tom Hanks, Bruce Dern,
