Hey NYC! Review Your Favorite Shakespeare Film in 10 Words, Win Tickets to a Special Screening of Shakespeare High
Contest time again! And while our L.A. squad had all the fun last time around, today I'm pleased to offer readers in and around NY City a chance to check out a nifty new doc tying the Bard, cutthroat competition and the winsome likes of Kevin Spacey and Richard Dreyfuss together in a potent nonfiction blend. If you've got this Friday night free and are feeling creative and/or lucky, read on to win a pair of tickets to Shakespeare High. The festival favorite makes its theatrical debut this weekend at Lincoln Center's Howard Gilman Theater, with director Alex Rokaru and several of the film's young actors in attendance. Check out the trailer: To win a pair of tickets to the screening this Friday, March 9 at 6 p.m., all you have to do is write a 10-word review - no more, no less - of your favorite Shakespeare screen adaptation. For example: Kenneth Branagh showed Olivier how it's done in Henry V. Vanessa Redgrave and Ralph Fiennes should whack Oscar over Coriolanus. As Bad Shakespeare Movies We Love go, nothing beats O. Etc. etc. Please post it in ONE of the following places to be considered: In the comments section of this post (please remember to sign in with an e-mail address) On Twitter with the hashtag #MLgiveaway On Movieline's Facebook page (under the Shakespeare High giveaway post) The deadline to participate is this Thursday, March 8 at noon ET.

What's Promising and Not So Good News About Present day Godfather Re-Release
Great news! In recognition from the Godfather's 40th anniversary, Vital is re-delivering Francis Ford Coppola's classic in theaters for just one day only. Not so good news: On that day is... today. Just notice, men! We do hope you did not make plans? May possibly not matter anyway, because a whole lot worse news awaits citizens of these two greatest, most populous media marketplaces in the united states. Based on the studio, the re-release will hit 55 Cinemark theaters for just one day only there, at certainly one of apparently two tests each, you can observe the restored 1972 Oscar-champion in most its large-screen glory. (With multichannel audio! Cause the toll-booth scene!) By "you," however - more not so good news ahead - I am talking about "filmgoers who live outdoors NY and LaInch based on Cinemark's handy listing of taking part venues, the nearest theaters to every city have been in Stroudsberg, Penn., and Huntington Beach, correspondingly. A deal I can not refuse, right? Watch me. Anyway, it can't be fair to carry Stroudsberg's (or Louisville's or Orlando's as well as San Francisco's) fortune against it, so continue. Get in touch with sick, already! There is a date with Khartoum! [Cinemark]
