 As the ODYSSEY trojan's forward to summer busting numbers, the new GREAT ADAPTATIONS series points at another version of HOMER's tale O BROTHER WHERE ART THOU? While JOHN GOODMAN's CYCLOPS is a bit different than NOLAN's he's no less horrifying in this breakneck perfect film. Since the gates of hell part of summer has reared its head, look no further than our own BLEAK CINEMA series and MIDSOMMAR for your dour feelings of the may queen and her tricks. ARI ASTER's follow up to HEREDITARY about a group of tourists who lose their way while looking into local customs in SWEDEN has a central theme that seems relevant when watching the news at present. Catharsis through cinema! FERRIS BUELLER is a more chipper take on things in the 1986 summer series and CABARET never ever disappoints when you've got to take notes on how to survive Nazi's. AAAAnyway... JOHN CAMERON MITCHELL is in town next month and the main show is SOLD OUT but the simulcast show has got some spots left as well as the SHORTBUS screening the following afternoon. Tickets are on sale for this year's OAK CLIFF FILM FEST! HuzzaH! --- JR
