Film Gudie Friday
We have a action hero, a "Sick-o documentary, and a bunch of rats in this week new films released this week.
With description from the Detroit Free Press:
Opened on Wednesday:
"Live Free or Die Hard" [PG-13]
John McClane (Bruce Willis) takes on an Internet-based terrorist organization.
Opened on Friday:
"Sicko" [PG-13]
Michael Moore's documentary take on the health care crisis.
"Ratatouille" [G]
Unlike your average rat, Remy is a discriminating diner who has taken up residence in the walls of a great French restaurant -- and aspires to be a chef.
"Evening"[PG-13]
Vanessa Redgrave is a dying woman recalling her life as a young woman with her two daughters.
playing this week at DFT at the D.I.A.:
Main Film this weekend:
ANGEL-A
(France/2006) directed by Luc Besson
Incompetent Parisian schemer and petty hood André (Jamel Debbouze) is at the end of his rope–irreversibly in debt to a local gangster, with no one to turn to, his only solution is to drown himself in the Seine. But when he finally jumps it’s to save Angela (Rie Rasmussen), a beautiful and mysterious stranger who’s taken the plunge ahead of him. As this unlikely duo form a bond, André begins to discover that not all debts are financial—and that sometimes hope is found in the unlikeliest of places. The new film from France’s Luc Besson (La Femme Nikita, The Fifth Element) is one of his most stylish and sweetly surprising: a love letter to both Paris and to the Hollywood traditions that inspired him. In French with English subtitles. (90 min.)
Playing Saturday at 7:00 PM and 9:30 PM and Sunday 4:00 and 7:00 PM
and this Weekend Films to celeabart the Monster Films as showen as the Ceather feather double feather that being at 2 P.M.
EARTH VS. THE FLYING SAUCERS
Legendary saucer effects by visual wizard Ray Harryhausen spice up this fast-moving tale of a fleet of desperate, soon-to-be-homeless aliens out to conquer the Earth and take up residence. Fortunately for our side, Earth is well represented by Dr. Russsel A. Marvin (sci-fi veteran Hugh Marlowe), a brilliant scientist who, together with his brand-new, beautiful scientist bride (Joan Taylor), is in no mood to give up his home planet without a fight. One of the most enjoyable sci-fi epics of its day was the blueprint for the countless invasion movies that followed, from Independence Day to Mars Attacks! (which quite intentionally “borrowed” this movie’s saucer design).
MOTHRA
The original Japanese classic Mothra (1961, directed by Ishiro Honda), the story of a gigantic, havoc-wreaking moth, and the foot-tall twin fairies (sisters Yumi and Emi Ito) who control him telepathically while singing.
Playing This Week at the discount theater in Warren

Now before you jump to wild conclusion, let me point out two things: one Greg Base have been there for a long time, so i was time to feel in his mind to move on and goes something elsewhere [Which i get to in just a moment]
and two don't forget this is the concert business so if somebody leave one place for new place and some time the don't what you to hang around with two weeks left.
as for Greg further now that he is no longer at the stick in back grounding this story, a 4th source i myspacer today told me that he have a new job at a new club in of all places Pontiac, My Sourced did not give me any detail.
And as of this typing i don't know who is now booking shows at the stick.
