It’s almost time for Halloween, and who better to celebrate the creepiest month of the year with than Mr. Hitchcock himself? And why wait until December to start getting gifts? We think every holiday should come with presents.

QFest is in town (Houston-town)! Their first annual “Show Us Your Shorts Competition Compilation”, featuring 2007’s best queer-themed submissions is just one of the 19 installments that make up this year’s gay-themed festival. Always edgy and relevant, QFest’s lineup includes DAFT PUNK’S ELECTROMA, where the always inventive French electronica duo (think Kanye West’s recent, universally appealing single “Stronger”) try to turn their crazy robotic alter-egos into real flesh and blood. Music fans should also come out for PICK UP THE MIC, an energetic investigation of “homohop” and the tenacious rap-artists keeping the genre alive.
The festival also features an adaptation of the college lit class staple THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, RAY HILL’S PRISON SHOW, a fascinating documentary from gay-rights activist, ex-prison inmate and Houston native Ray Hill, and a few “After Dark” selections that I cannot write about here except to say don’t bring your kids.
QFest begins tomorrow, September 20 and runs through Monday, September 24. For synopses and a full schedule, visit QFest’s official site.
The 9th Annual Vistas Film Festival is coming to the Angelika Dallas tomorrow, September 19. This somewhat interactive Latino film festival offers a full schedule of acclaimed film screenings and offers everyone free sessions, workshops and even coffee with selected filmmakers. The Vistas Festival has always been a mainstay in Dallas so be sure not to miss it. For a full schedule of events, click here.
…Sounds more like a coffee drink but we’ll take that as a “two thumbs up!” Don’t miss this adorable love story between a quintessential Brooklynite and a Kurdish refugee now playing @ the Angelika Dallas.
The Jerusalem Post reviewed THE RAPE OF EUROPA this week, deeming it “riveting” and adding to its growing collection of great press.
Whatâ??s your name?
Tevy Bradley
What was your favorite movie of the summer?
HARRY POTTER or THE SIMPSONâ??S MOVIE
What are you seeing at the Angelika tonight?
I was going to see 2 DAYS IN PARIS. I like everything about Europe.
Really? Should we convert to the metric system?
Oh no! Is that on the books? Is that being discussed? No, never. Too much effort.
What do you think of people who make out at the movies?
Depends on the movie. As long as I cant hear it or see it Iâ??m fine.
Would you make out at the movie?
Sure! Wellâ?¦ok. I go to see the movie. If I havenâ??t seen the movie before, Iâ??m going to be watching the movie, period. If I have seen the movie before, I donâ??t normally do that, but I wouldnâ??t be opposed.
Are you a huge movie buff?
Huge. I love the Angelika, seriously though.
What is the most universally useful object in existence?
A book. What do I always have with meâ?¦.a book and an ipod. But those both only do one thingâ?¦but you could kill someone with or bench press the Harry Potter series.
Where were you on Fleet Week?
When was that?
May.
Probably out. I love fleet week though because I have a weakness for men in uniforms. Not that anythingâ??s ever come of itâ?¦.sigh.
Based on your current NYC rent or mortgage, how much property do you think you could afford in Oklahoma?
Oh! Uhâ?¦like I think I could buy a house. Iâ??m from Nashville and I just went home and my friend owns a condo for basically what I pay in rent. Itâ??s a two story condo. Depressing, really. But I wouldnâ??t trade living in the city.
Summer may be almost in the bag, but you can still catch up on all of those great movies you missed while you were at the beach.
CNN.com’s Tom Charity shares a few of his picks here, namely ONCE, the summer’s surprising indie jewel and ROCKET SCIENCE, the quirky adolescent comedy from SPELLBOUND director Jeffrey Blitz.
For those of you who didn’t make it to theater over the past three months, you can drown your post-summer sorrow in both of these fantastic films this weekend at the Angelika Dallas & Plano.
EXILED, the new action packed film from director Johnnie To, opens today, August 31 @ the Angelika New York.
