Hubble Coming to the Louisville Science Center IMAX

I’m not much of a space person. I never dreamed of being an astronaut when I was a kid and I think rich people who pay tons of money to someday go on a space flight are a little silly. That being said even I’m kind of geeked about the Hubble IMAX film that’s opening [...]

Dirt! The Movie at Community Cinema March 18, 2010

There are a couple words that I have a Pavlovian response to when I hear them. For example when I hear the name of a beloved friend’s ex I immediately say “X is cold.” And when anyone mentions beets I always instantly say “Beets taste like dirt.” I can’t help myself, the words just come [...]

Midnights at the Baxter: The Godfather (February 27, 2010)

This film was the choice of the winner of Midnight at the Baxter’s Halloween costume contest. Excellent choice contest winner, excellent choice indeed. Sometimes when you weren’t around when a movie that has become legendary first came out the movie just can’t live up to the hype. Obviously that’s not the case here. I was [...]

Community Cinema Presents: The Eyes of Me

Community Cinema is doing some really good, really inspiring stuff at Fern Creek High School. For example this Thursday February 18 they’ll be showing The Eyes of Me and hosting a discussion with Kenny Jones from the Kentucky School for the Blind.
How do you see yourself, when you can’t see at all? At the Texas [...]

Midnights at the Baxter: Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (February 13, 2010)

Friends, I love this movie. Considering how much I usually dislike Jim Carrey movies that is a serious accomplishment.
This is two years in a row that Midnights at the Baxter have featured a movie I absolutely love for Valentine’s Weekend (last year it was Amelie). Well done Baxter Avenue, well done.

Just a reminder that the Louisville Jewish Film Festival starts next weekend, Saturday February 13, 2010. I’m really proud of the lineup of films and sincerely hope you’ll check at least one (and hopefully more) of them out.

While I think all the films are worth seeing these are the ones that I’m most [...]

Iroquois Amphitheater Movie Series: What Do You Want to See?

Dude, Metro Parks totally trusts your opinions. First they wanted to know your thoughts on improving Metro Parks and now they want to know what movies you’d like to see at their outdoor movie series at Iroquois Amphitheater during the summer and fall. You clearly are a very smart and trustworthy group of people.
Family [...]

Midnights at the Baxter: This Is Spinal Tap (January 30, 2010)

I’d say something about turning it up to eleven but that would be way too easy wouldn’t it?

Young @Heart

Community Cinema is showing Young @Heart tomorrow, December 17, 2009. I’m not going to lie to you, the solo version of Coldplay’s “Fix You” in this movie makes me cry every single time I watch it. If you haven’t seen this (and actually even if you have) you should go see it tomorrow. It’s an [...]

Midnights at the Baxter: Die Hard (December 19, 2009)

Did I tell you about the really wonderful chosen family Thanksgiving we had? We went to some beloved friends’ house for a great potluck filled with really excellent food, conversation and laughter. The daughter of one of those beloved friends, a very cool young woman in her early 20s, was with us at Thanksgiving and [...]
