So if we get two films that Boston has (which seems to have been the case the last few years) any bets on what we get? I'm not saying these are films I want (or don't want) I'm just playing a prediction game.
A Boy And His Dog - When I saw the words new print, that kinda sealed it for me. It only played here once, it would likely get a good reception and that whole new print thing likely will lure Bruce in.
Last Mimzy - Less certain of this one. However, it strikes me as falling into the (I'm trying to be diplomatic here) overlooked recent Hollywood film that Bruce likes to toss in from time to time. Movies like Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow and Equilibrium.
There is another movie on that list I think has just about as good a shot, but I am sticking with just two.
To be fair, I think Jeff is the one who insists on booking the more recent films and he is usually right on the money as far as knowing what the audience will like. (
Slither would have been a crowd pleaser had it shown up last year). In my opinion,
Mimzy doesn't fit us. It was merely okay and I don't think it was overlooked really.
I know for a fact that we will see at least two or more of these films on our schedule. I'm guessing things will fall into place probably very soon after Boston is finished and Bruce will let us all know then.
There are plenty of "overlooked" or underappreciated films released in the last couple of years, I am hoping that
Mimzy is not one of the ones we plunder from our friends to the East this year.
