May 7, 2008Overheard at the movies: Godfather edition
Like the Super Bowl or a good fetish ball, nothing brings people like a theatrical screening of The Godfather Part II. Mixed among the film geeks bundled snugly into Westport's Tivoli Cinemas for Thursday night's final showing of a restored Godfather II print were moms, dads, teens, business people and art-school types. And gangstas.Watching Francis Ford Coppola's engrossing epic at the back of a nearly full auditorium, I noted some lightweight wannabe mobsters behind me. They were highly appr

Friday, the Tivoli will start running both parts of Steven Soderberg's biographical Che as one four-and-a-half-hour-long presentation, without all the extras like "previews," or "ending credits," but with a ten-minute intermission which presumably occurs EXACTLY IN THE MIDDLE of Che Guevera's life, even if he's in the middle of a sentence or something, or else it's not an "authentic" intermission. It is totally going to be the Ocean's 11 of interminable Che Guevera biopics. I think Don Cheadle

The feature film Sugar -- opening Friday at the Tivoli -- depicts a baseball player who aspires to pitch for the Kansas City Knights, a fictional big-league team whose logo and colors resemble those of the Royals. The movie begins with 19-year-old Miguel "Sugar" Santos pitching at a baseball academy near his home in San Pedro de Macoris. This is true to life. The Royals operate an academy -- where baseball-talented teens refine their skills, live in dorm rooms and learn how to say "I got it!" in
May 12, 2009Sweet Jesus! Cowtown Ballroom documentary events tonight and tomorrow
Because we ran a Night & Day blurb focusing on tonight's event, and Ink, I am told, ran a blurb focusing on tomorrow's party, I figured it'd be a good idea to set up a one-stop shop for all your Cowtown Ballroom...Sweet Jesus! needs. First of all, what is it? Well, it's a documentary, made by local filmmakers Joe Heyen (producer, director) and Tony Ladesich (director of photography, writer, editor) about the 1971-74 heyday of the Cowtown Ballroom, the (classic) rock venue that operated out of w

To supplement this week's Wayward Son and Pitch cover -- which was masterfully designed by art director Zachary Trover using the Cowtown Ballroom logo (which originally came from The Westport Trucker) -- about the release of Cowtown Ballroom...Sweet Jesus!, here are some shots from the all-too-brief reunion party this past Friday, May 15.

May 20, 2009Free screening of Food, Inc. tonight at the Tivoli
If you don't have plans tonight, check out the free screening of Food, Inc. at the Tivoli Cinemas. The film has been getting rave reviews but so far has reached a limited audience, grossing just under $2 million since opening last month on the coasts.Chipotle hopes to change that with this screening, which it's also sponsoring in 31 other cities. Chipotle founder Steve Ells has been promoting the movie in his stores and in interviews, saying he hopes all his customers see it.The screening starts

You've learned how to paint your face like the Ssion wants you to. You've seen what it looks like when hundreds of people join up, painted up like that. Now you can see it all come together on the screen this weekend. The premiere of the Ssion movie, BOY is at the Tivoli on Thursday at 7:30pm. The Grand Arts opening is Friday at 6pm. The Grand Arts show has an opening reception with a performance from NOISS, a SSION cover band, plus Casey Spooner (Fischerspooner) and Jeppe (Junior Seni

After you get your eyes peeled off at the Tivoli by the Ssion's Boy premiere, head down to the Record Bar and seal the deal with a trifecta of weirdity, courtesy of a local drone master and a couple of Oregon kooks. Who knows, perhaps fellow Beaver Staters the Dandy Warhols will drop by after their show at the Beaumont? (We make zero promises.)Hey, Dan, wake up, we're in KC, man.

September 3, 2009Ssion Snapshots: Boy opening at Grand Arts
Boy, the brand-new, feature-length film by local music and art collective Ssion, debuted to a packed Tivoli last Thursday night. (Read our review.) The following Friday, September 4, Grand Arts, which funded the film, held a reception for the film, which is showing in the gallery through October 24. We got the hot pix.

Copyright Criminals, a film that takes on the tough topic of sampling, and where it fits in both the legal and artistic realms, comes to the Tivoli on October 22, at 7 p.m. Director Kembrew McLeod will be on hand at the screening. (Thanks to DLC for the tip.) It's something that has many facets, such as Biz Markie's use of of a Gilbert O'Sullivan sample or the Verve's notorious tussle with the Rolling Stones over "Bittersweet Symphony." Interestingly, it seems that the film focuses main
