"This movie rock and rolls. George Lucas has captured a time and place and everything is so specific. There isn't a false moment in this. The music is fantastic. The acting by Richard Dreyfuss, Ron Howard, Paul Lemat, Candy Clark, Charles Martin Smith and Cindy WIlliams is is very good. And Harrison Ford! There he is! He's great in this. I really like this one. "

"La MISSION, an American Spectrum film starring Benjamin Bratt and directed by his brother Peter, takes place in the Mission District of San Francisco, and tracks the relationship between an ex-con bus driver named Che (played by the former Mr. Julia Roberts), his son and a sexy neighbor lady who “challenges Che to reconcile the life he thought he had.” We asked Peter Bratt the 4 Questions We Ask Everyone, and his answers touched on everything from American Graffiti to Marvin Gaye to Ki-duk Kim. More after the jump. Tell us about your movie: who did you work with, what did you shoot on, why did you make it? Give us the reductive, 25-word or less, “It’s like [pop culture reference a] meets [pop culture reference "

"Director: Stig SvendsenNorwegian, 9 minutes, colorCinema 4 Rating: 6A scene that I did not mention the other day in my piece on My Name is Yu Ming was one in which the titular character, a Chinese man who has learned Gaelic in order to seek a new and hopefully more fulfilling existence in Ireland (a course which he has suggested to himself entirely at random), engages in an impersonation of an iconic movie scene. Yu Ming, his face covered by cream as he shaves in front of his bathroom mirror, begins to perform De Niro's "You talkin' to me?" scene from Taxi Driver, repeating the famous lines in his newly learned second language, though after he does four or five bits, he drops the tough guy act and snickers nerdishly at the mirror, handily amused with his lonely antics.I started to wonder then as to whether a character in Yu Ming's circumstances and location would have not only actually had the chance to see Taxi Driver, but whether that sequence has quite the same impact dubbed int ...

"Since January 1st, 2008, I've been keeping track of all the films I've watched. Because I don't feel like taking the time to highlight each movie up until this point, I will start at the previous week, Week 29 and continue from now on. 328. The Dark Knight (2008) -My second time seeing it. Such a great movie. Although not good enough to be considered 'best film of all time'. 329. Teeth (2007) -The storyline attracted me to it. Within the first 20 minutes I wanted it to be done. I hated this thing so much. 330. Heima (2007) -Such a beautiful documentary for such an amazing band; Sigur Ros. Check them out if you haven't yet. 331. La Haine / Hate (1995) -One of the best French films I've seen. If there's one thing I'll remember about this movie years from now, it'll be the ending and how shocked I was after it was all said and done. 332. À ma soeur! / Fat Girl (2001) -There was something sad in the "

"I was sitting in my jeep a few days ago looking through my iPod for something that would pick my spirits up for the drive home. Great little invention. Kinda makes that "10 albums on a desert island" thing useless. Just bring your iPod and you can have your entire collection. Anyway, I decided on the Counting Crows as it'd been years since I'd listened to them. Instantly I was transported to...I'll get to that in a minute. It made me think about that whole "smell is the best memory trigger" thing. Now maybe it's just a deficiency in my olfactory system, but smell has never done a thing for my memory. Sure, it's been instrumental in conjuring up old girlfriends and musty schools, but nothing really useful. Music on the other hand can open wormwholes to my past. When I hear the songs from the soundtrack of the movie that is my life I am instantly bombarded with memories. Sights, sounds, smells, the whole package. -"I Wear My Sunglasse ... "

"A well-crafted cult film about teen life in the 1960s. Well-written, directed, shot, and performed. "

"Isn’t one of the best movies I’ve ever seen, it was kind of needlessly drawn out. But what I loved about this movie the most was how each scene’s background music fits the scene or the scenario. It’s a really powerful movie about the youth for its time. Great sound, great acting, great picture. "

"George Lucas wonderfully captures this era of rock n’ role, cars, & teen romance. The story revolves around 4 main characters and their adventures all in one night. Every actor sells their performance and every character is so interesting and so well written. American Graffiti is just a flat out fun movie to watch! I love Star Wars, but this is Lucas at his best. "

"Portable Cinema is presenting American Graffiti Thursday July 27th at Brian's Graffiti wall on the corner of Cherry and Sheldon. There is a parking lot next to the wall and we will be there. Things get started around 9-9:30ish. AMERICAN GRAFFITI The Graffiti Wall, NW corner of Cherry & Sheldon 9:30PM FREE! Hello Everyone! Man, remember when George Lucas shot film? There will be a free showing of one Lucas' finest film classic AMERICAN GRAFFITI at the Graffiti wall on NW corner of Cherry & Sheldon, which is just a little south of the UICA (and on the same side of the road). Drag Racin'! Cruisin! Hoppin' Socks! It's the perfect film for these increasingly hot summer nights!! But, this screening of AMERICAN GRAFFITI will occur in a parking lot so bringing a chair is a good idea! Even more than the chance to unleash a truly WICKED pun, screening American Graffiti at the graffiti wall has given us the chance to make this whole movie watching thing a little more participatory.
