What’s Screening: December 23 – 29

December 23, 2022December 22, 2022 ~ Lincoln Spector

Note: I attended to set this article to go live on Friday, December 23, at 8:30am. But, by my mistake, it came out earlier. There's not much Christmas spirit in Bay Area cinemas this holiday week – unless you count Die Hard. But there's joy in the Richmond district. The 4-Star cinema is showing five … Continue reading What’s Screening: December 23 – 29

What’s Screening: Jan 28 – Feb 3

January 28, 2022January 24, 2022 ~ Lincoln Spector

What's happening in Bay Area cinema as January turns into February? We've got laughs from Preston Sturges, Bill Murray, and Monty Python. Also noir from Pedro Almodóvar, or satire from Boots Riley. I had to prepare this newsletter earlier than usual for personal reasons. That means that if a screening is announced at the last … Continue reading What’s Screening: Jan 28 – Feb 3

What’s Screening: January 21 – 27

January 21, 2022January 20, 2022 ~ Lincoln Spector ~ 1 Comment

The bad news: The Castro Theater is no longer a movie theater. The good news: Other Bay Area theaters are showing plenty of vintage movies. Theaters closings The end of the Castro For decades, the Castro Theatre has been the perfect movie palace for opening a film festival or just for watching vintage cinema. And … Continue reading What’s Screening: January 21 – 27

What’s Screening: Dec 31 – Jan 6

December 31, 2021December 30, 2021 ~ Lincoln Spector

A lot of really good, new movies in theaters right now, even if I haven't seen many of them. But you can see some good classics on the big screen this week. And as usual around the new year, there are no festivals. Theatrical revivals A+ Fargo (1996), New Parkway, Thursday, 9:00pm I'm not sure … Continue reading What’s Screening: Dec 31 – Jan 6

What’s Screening: November 5 – 11

November 5, 2021November 5, 2021 ~ Lincoln Spector

I've been busy lately, which is why this is the only article I posted this week. But we've got a documentary about China that the Chinese government probably won't like. What else might you like? How about films from the Coen Brothers, Alain Resnais, or Francis Coppola - all at their peak? Or maybe a … Continue reading What’s Screening: November 5 – 11

What’s Screening: April 30 – May 6

April 30, 2021April 29, 2021 ~ Lincoln Spector

This week in Bay Area movies: A Castro opening on the horizon. $5 Tuesdays. A serious art film that should be shown on Mystery Science Theater 3000. The Octopus documentary on the big screen. And classics from Orson Welles, the Coen brothers, and New Zealand. And one virtual film festival. Festivals The Livable Planet Film … Continue reading What’s Screening: April 30 – May 6

What’s Screening: March 26 – April 1

March 26, 2021March 25, 2021 ~ Lincoln Spector

What do we have in Bay Area movies this week? A drummer losing his hearing, a couple of virtual cinema suggestions, and Moses splitting the Red Sea in a real theater (just in time for Passover). At the drive-in, you can watch some of the best of Hitchcock, Wilder, and the Coens, along with a … Continue reading What’s Screening: March 26 – April 1

What’s Screening: Feb 26 – March 4

February 26, 2021 ~ Lincoln Spector

This week in Virtual Cinema, you can meet a new American family, discover the horrors that come after a rape, and watch Spike Lee's masterpiece. But if you really want to leave home and watch a really big screen, you have drive-in options from The Black Messiah to Austin Powers. You can even join a … Continue reading What’s Screening: Feb 26 – March 4
