Local Muscle is sponsoring a film festival! For Valentines day! Why would a moving company sponsor a film festival, you ask? We’re Local Muscle, don’t you know us at this point?! We’re putting up $600 in cash prizes and the festival is open to anyone. We ask that the films be no more than 6 min. and romance related (it being Valentines and all). They don’t, however, have to be romances.

Three More Great Films Including THE ARTIST at Railroad Square Cinema through 2/2/12

Already named Best Film of the Year by the New York Film Critics and countless others, THE ARTIST is a lock to be an Oscar frontrunner—and the year’s most unlikely success story and audience favorite! “The year’s most euphoric screen experience belongs to—incredibly—a black-and-white silent film. In 1920s Hollywood, actor George Valentin (the magnificent Jean Dujardin) is the Clooney of cinema—until the “talkies” take over and his fame crumbles.

REMINDER: National Premiere FILM – The Red Machine at The Camden Opera House January 21st

THE RED MACHINE, directed by Stephanie Argy and Alec Boehm, is a caper adventure set in Washington DC, 1935. At the height of the Great Depression, a cool-as-ice Navy spy (Lee Perkins) is ordered to work with a professional thief (Donal Thoms-Cappello) to pull off the heist of a lifetime. The Japanese military has changed the codes it uses for secret messages, with potentially devastating results for the U.S., and a prominent Japanese diplomat holds the key in the form of a mysterious new machine.

Tinker, Tail, Soldier, Spy Continues at Eveningstar Cinema through Jan. 26, 2012

I am extending Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy another week. The attendance is simply much too strong to take it off screen now. So once again, I must ask for your patience and understanding concerning the next two films which we are all clamoring for (including me), The Descendants and The Artist. I’ll get them for you if I have to act them out myself in the lobby for your amusement.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at Eveningstar Cinema through Jan. 19th

Turns out that all you needed to return to the cinema in droves was a good, old-fashioned 70′s style, Cold War spy thriller. My favorite (and frequent) comment coming from you as you left the theater, “My goodness, that was so hard to follow, but I absolutely loved it!” And what’s not to love about an adaptation of a BBC TV show, adapted from a John LaCarre’ book, starring Gary Oldman, Colin Firth and John Hurt?
