Kurt & Courtney vs. Biggie & Tupac
Nick Broomfield behind the music.
Audio will alternate with each seating 4:00pm Kurt & Courtney audio 6:00pm Biggie & Tupac audio 8:00pm Kurt & Courtney audio 10:00pm Biggie & Tupac audio
If you mash these bio-pic, 'murder' mysteries together,
you could form a definitive opinion about who killed Kurt,
Biggie, and Tupac. Or who Nick Broomfield is.
Kurt
& Courtney (1998) must be better
than Gus Van Sant's recent attempt at capturing Kurt's soul,
Last Days. But we wouldn't know because we won't
see Last Days, because we're sorry we saw Elephant.
We saw Biggie Smalls: Behind the Music on VH1 recently
and we couldn't wait for each commercial break to end. By
contrast, Biggie
& Tupac (2002) offers Nick Broomfield's
version of events.

American Pimp vs. Pimps Up, Ho's Down
Pimp films go Ho to Ho.
Audio will alternate with each seating 4:00pm American Pimp audio 6:00pm Pimps Up, Ho's Down audio 8:00pm American Pimp audio 10:00pm Pimps Up, Ho's Down audio
Those who know pimp films contend that Pimps
Up, Ho's Down (1999)is more pimp than
American
Pimp's (1999) pimpness. See for yourself.

Un-making of films by Herzog and Coppola.
Audio will alternate with each seating 4:00pm Hearts of Darkness audio 6:00pm Burden of Dreams audio 8:00pm Hearts of Darkness audio 10:00pm Burden of Dreams audio
These films make the making of films seem like nightmares.
Very lusty and violent nightmares. Burden
of Dreams(1982)is Les Blank's look at
Herzog and Kinski going mad while making Fitzcarraldo.
Hearts
of Darkness: A Filmmaker's Apocalypse
(1991) is Eleanor Coppola's dream of her husband's dream
of Conrad's dream.
