THE COMMENTARY.
CONCLAVE is a throwback piece of cinematic artistry. Beautifully shot with a black, white and red palate, perfect in hue and tone, it reminds me of the BIG blockbusters from Hollywood’s Golden Era. As predicted last week, I see three ‘bests’ for this gem, Film, Adapted Screenplay and Actor, in addition to definite noms for Direction, Cinematography and Sound Design. Want an eye roll? One of my trusted critique sites, and their accompanying comments page, offers the following example of the Dunning-Kruger effect on film critique: “It was mostly good but ruined by another woke Hollywood ending”. And these people want to dismantle the Dept. of Education, morality and ethics evidently a bridge too far.

Big Halloween thanks to everyone who came out for our annual scare-fest and watched THE SHINING.
Upcoming special events: BAINBRIDGE ISLAND MUSEUM OF ART (BIMA) screening of EXHIBITING FORGIVENESS on NOV 17 @ 6:30. Jherek Bischoff will be up from LA to host the event along with his brother, Korum, who is Deputy Director of BIMA. Jherek composed and played the score for the film and both will interact with the audience for a post-screening Q&A. Tickets can be found right here.
BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB Celebration over Thanksgiving. Here is the lineup: THU NOV 28 is Cuban Night at the HLT. We will offer Cuban specialties as well as our usual faire. On FRI NOV 29 we will screen BUENA VISTA SOCIAL CLUB twice at times to be announced next week, and then as the coupe de gras THE MALO QUINTET will take the stage for a tribute to BVSC. Tickets will be available on Tuesday. Which is a rather important day, because as well as tickets going o/s for our big Thanksgiving fest, it is ELECTION DAY. We did four special politically themes events over the last few months to prep for this one. Most of you have already cast your ballots, but for those who are either asleep on the fence, still undecided or about to switch party allegiance, here is my handy Election Day cheat sheet:
When a (D) follows any candidate’s name fill in that box with a black or blue pen. Because character counts and Democracy is light years ahead of a Fascist Dictatorship.
We hold this truth to be self evident. It Can’t Happen Here. CORRECT?
Thank you,
Kevin
