Halifax’s alFresco filmFesto is back baby! While I’m not overly-pleased with the choice of movies, I still vividly remember the good times had last year and definitely plan on supporting this cause. I’m not overly please because the subtle theme last year felt like “nostalgia” movies for parents or new adults that you’ve perhaps seen before but haven’t in years, and are likely previously unseen for any kiddies that go.
Charlie and Alice seem too fresh/new…still, I will be attending most regardless.
FYI, my lineup (which as I understand would be based on release date and consideration of a family environment):
1. Cry-Baby (this is EXACTLY the type of movie that should be shown…cheesy, ridiculous comedy all the way)
2. Edward Scissorhands
3. Benny and Joon (classic)
4. What’s Eating Gilbert Grape
5. Ed Wood (nice Bill Murray tie in BTW)
Shame Fear and Loathing, Nightmare on Elm Street or Blow couldn’t make the list. What can ya do? —zZz Can’t Wait

Ohhh I wish Benny and Joon was showing!!
I didn’t know Zed was capable of getting this excited. 😛
me either, really. I just love the concept and execution of last years events so much that I’m sure it’s gonna be another blast this year.
I can’t believe they missed out on cry baby and benny and joon though…
I wonder if there’s someone I can call to complain…
or if they’d consider extending it a couple weeks to squeeze them in.
sleepy hollow, sweeney todd, chocolat
Where’s “Platoon”?
http://www.deppimpact.com/gallery/albums/c…
sleepy hollow and sweeny todd are a little too dark for outside, nighttime showing…
I remember seeing batman returns at a drive through and couldn’t follow it at all because over half the movie is just black screen.
(fyi, the highly underrated Darkman was the second in the double-bill)
chocolat just blows goat turds…
and I don’t think Platoon is really a movie suitable for families to go out and see.
it’d be a total sausage-fest.
Edward scissorhands is even cutting it close…
i guess *from hell* is too dark. darkman was awesome http://www.ffffilm.com/uploads/max1/snapsh…
Edward Scissorhands!! <3 <3 <3
I’m THERE.
Ed Wood, wow, Martin Landau was brilliant in that movie

you know who else is in ed wood?
hint: he’s the only person I’ve ever witness consume a turnbuckle

Vincent D’Onfrio played Orson Welles and Maurice (The Brain) LaMarche dubbed his voice.

You like Johnny Depp Zed?
not particularly… his endless heartthrob status annoys me greatly…
but that’s the hand we were dealt so I’m running with it.
the Governator would have been a good choice… he has some pretty zany movies.
(Last Action Hero much?!?! 🙂
but the one I think would be an immediate candidate is mr. Hulk Hogan.
all of his movies were pure cheesy goodness.
no holds barred, suburban commando, Mr. Nanny, Thunder in Paradise, and 3 ninja’s
Sounds like fun.
