FilmWeek

FilmWeek for May 02, 2008

May officially kicks off the summer movie season. Larry and our FilmWeek critics Claudia Puig and Lael Loewenstein ask our listeners what films they're looking forward to and why. What makes a film worth seeing in a theatre, considering that after paying for parking, tickets, babysitter, gas, popcorn, it could run you upwards of $75 for an evening out? Is movie going as a collective and social experience in danger of being supplanted with home viewing?

Plus: Larry and critics Lael Loewenstein, of Variety, Claudia Puig, of USA Today, and Charles Solomon, of amazon.com review some of the week's new feature films including "Iron Man," "Made of Honor," Redbelt, as well as the documentaries "Standard Operating Procedure" and "Swimming in Auschwitz." Peter Rainer joins in to talk about two recent film festivals in Bermuda and Palm Beach.
