Noted:
The Zombie Marathon (original), at the Somerville Theate. Movies include Shaun of the Dead, Fido, I Walked With A Zombie, 28 Days Later, 28 Weeks Later, Zombie, and Dead Alive. I suspect that’s the full list, since it’s a 12 hour marathon and that’s 7 movies. No Romero? Shocking, but perhaps Diary of the Dead will sneak onto the program or something.
Second, the Brattle Theater’s (original) Boston Fantastic Film Festival is coming soon, like weekend after next. Announced movies: Trapped Ashes ( review (original)), The District ( review (original)), The Signal ( review (original)), Murder Party ( review (original)), The Devil Dared Me To ( review (original), read down a bit), and yay Zebraman ( review (original)).
I really want to catch Zebraman; Miike’s kaiju work has been way cool in the past. The District also seems really intriguing, and perhaps The Signal. The others I could take or leave, excepting Trapped Ashes, which from all the reviews looks intolerable.
