Standing offer

10 points of extra credit for anyone who goes to see a movie at Film Streams. Just bring in your movie stub.

They have an upcoming Hitchcock series, starting February 8th and playing a variety of Hitchcock films through March 27th. Playing now is The Savages, which I thought was great. It's tragically and depressingly realistic and features great performances by Laura Linney and Philip Seymour-Hoffman as well as a great score by Stephen Trask. Tamara Jenkins was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Linney was nominated as well for her role.

Other upcoming award nominated films include The Diving Bell and the Butterfly (opening January 25th) and 4 Months, 3 Weeks, and 2 Days (opening March 14th). They are also showing the 2007 Academy Award nominated short films from February 15-21. Those films are pretty hard to see unless you live in L.A. or N.Y., so take advantage.

Also, in case you haven't heard yet, the Oscar nominations were announced. Look forward to a class Oscar pool. The ceremony is broadcast February 24th.
