If you don't take money, they can't tell you what to do

On Tuesday I saw Bill Cunningham New York at the Nuart. The Nuart is a funny, one-screen theatre that shows independent films, and great selection of hits and misses from the past on Fridays at midnight; their Spring 2011 calendar includes a documentary about searching for mass graves in Chile, and The Muppets take Manhattan. Something for everyone!

I really enjoyed BCNY as a profile of a quirky guy with strong thoughts on fashion, ethics, and material frivolity. As Mike will attest, you do not need to have any interest in fashion to enjoy the film. If you are like me, you will cry intermittently, and laugh a lot too.




I strongly believe that one of the best parts of seeing an independent movie in a small theater is watching the wacky trailers that you can only find in that environment. Here are two of my favorite trailers from this movie (I am sparing you the one with the surprise goat birth):

  1. Now Watch Pitch Perfect 3 Online Free on 365 movies now. Following their win at the world championship, the now separated Bellas reunite for one last singing competition at an overseas USO tour, but face a group who uses both instruments and voices. Pitch Perfect 3 drops all the good things of the last 2 movies and turns into an action/comedy with terrible cameos, jokes and above all an entire 3rd act that feels like Speed 2. The singing is there and the girls for the most part do a good job but the script is bad and the Trilogy that nobody asked for ends in a disappointing and painful way.
