The Godfather at Arclight Hollywood

Last night was the start of Arclight Hollywood's presentation of "The Godfather" and "The Godfather part II." Both films have been meticulously restored by Robert A. Harris who has previously worked his magic on David Lean's "Lawrence of Arabia" and Stanley Kubrick's "Spartacus." The restoration is nothing short of a miracle. Despite the fact that it was a film based screening, the detail and clarity revealed in these new prints is startling. If you're in the area, there's no excuse not to check out these films on the big screen.

"Oh Rocky!"

My love of film rules my life at times, I'm the first to admit it. But while I've met almost all other requirements set by the cinerati there is but one that I've avoided... until last night.

After being a film lover for almost 22 years I finally did what so many before me have done countless times before: I finally saw "The Rock Horror Picture Show." Not that last night's midnight screening at the Nuart was the first time I had ever seen the picture but it was the first time I had seen it with an audience.

Of course no one goes to "The Rock Horror Picture Show" to watch the film. It's all about the atmosphere, the people, the lingerie, the... okay I'll just come right out and say it: "t & a." Last night's show did not disappoint in this regard as local L.A. cast Sins O' the Flesh put on one heck of a performance, one that I have a feeling I may be attending again some time in the future. Now if only they had a separate, non-participatory audience section...
