Friday,April 4,2003
Bedazzled
UK (1967),104 min.,Dir:Stanley Donen. Stanley sells his soul to the devil for seven wishes and uses those wishes to attract the one he loves.The devil twists the meaning of each wish. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore co-wrote and co-star in this classic screwball version of “Faust.”

Friday,May 9,2003
Mulholland Drive
USA (2001),145 min.Dir:David Lynch. Lynch’s atmospheric film noir intertwines the stories of Betty (Naomi Watts), a perky Hollywood hopeful, and Rita (Laura Harring), amnesiac from a car accident along Mulholland Drive, with strange and macabre doings in the world behind the scenes of showbiz. Originally a pilot for a TV series,the film weaves together disparate plot lines and characters in a way that may or may not ultimately make any rational sense...you decide.
