Join us for film noir Aussie style in this highly rated thriller. Meanwhile Karen Kaufman has asked me to point out that we still have six or so films left in this series and there is still time to buy a mini subscription. Also if you purchased a single ticket you can convert that towards a mini subscription….Now back to film biz… Our speaker for this week is Meredith Ward from the film program at Johns Hopkins. It’s a pleasure to welcome her to Cinema Sundays Thanks oh so much to Jed Dietz for doing such a nice job with It Came From Kuchar and congrats on another great Maryland Film Festival. Sunday should be a most interesting film and I look forward to seeing you there! Jonathan Palevsky Jpalevsky@aol.com If you�ve never been to Cinema Sundays before, see below for our stimulating, updated, yet official description. Precisely at 9:45 on a given Sunday morning, while birds chirp in the most musical manner, the doors at the Charles Theatre swing open to reveal a lobby replete with tasty bagels, hot coffee and friendly volunteers ready to serve them to you. All of our volunteers have been pre-tested for a complete lack of morning grouchiness and provide the nicest service�within reason! Guarded carefully by the enormous lobby penguin bagels, coffee and scintillating yet improvised conversation continues until 10:30. At precisely 10:30:07 some brief opening remarks by yours truly will be followed by a few remarks from our guest speaker who will never do either of two things. First he or she will never ever give away the plot of the film and second the speaker will not go on too long�especially if the film is one of those 2.5 h our Soviet era documentaries on the Romance of the Seven Tractor Drivers. Following a brief admonition not to talk during the film and a recommendation to sublet your cell phone to a starving student from the third world the screening will take place. Upon completion of the screening a robust question and answer session featuring our guest speaker will include your fascinating observations upon the recently screened movie. This flowery description barely describes the sublime joy and excitement which is Cinema Sundays. If there is a better way to spend Sunday mornings it simply hasn�t occurred to me�.yet!
