Citypaper, April 5

And the Film Fest arrives. This week: ten reviews (A-L; M-Z) for week one; and a review of Lasse Hallstrom's Cliffor Irving biopic The Hoax.

Daily News, March 30

A Pick for Jamie Baum's Septet show at the Painted Bride, which seems to have fallen into that online black hole that happens with Daily News pieces sometimes. So no link for now.

Metro, March 26-30

So once again, I haven't been keeping this up to date, this time thanks to the black hole of time which is the Philadelphia Film Festival. So the following few posts will be a marathon to catch up the past three weeks or so. Expect no superfluous niceties.

Anyway... this week in the Metro:

March 29: Peregrine Arts' multi-media adaptation of Gavin Bryars' "Sinking of the Titanic" (pg. 17).

March 30: "Cursed: The Head Trauma Music Project" at I-House, a live interactive expansion of Lance Weiler's head-trip horror flick (pg. 13).
