The third weekend of the new Carbon Arc season is happening, starting tonight at 7pm with a heartfelt South Korean drama called My Love, Don’t Cross That River.

Saturday night is a bit of experimental cinema in conjunction with Nocturne called Stand By For Tape Backup, screening repeatedly from 6pm to midnight.

For more information, please visit the Carbon Arc Events Page.  And I wrote the review for last week’s screening, The Fits, which you can read on the Carbon Arc blog.

The big film this weekend is The Accountant, in which Ben Affleck plays a man with autism who moonlights as an assassin. It’s hard to know what to make of this. I’m all for adult thrillers in the fall—hell, anytime—but the advance buzz around this one hasn’t been entirely flattering. Director Gavin O’Connor has done some good work (Warrior) and some so-so work (Jane’s Got A Gun).

Can anyone tell me the deal with Kevin Hart: What Now? I gather it’s a concert film of Hart’s massively successful stand-up tour, but the trailer also gives the impression of it being a spy spoof with Halle Berry. Maybe the hardcore fans of Mr Hart will get it.

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong is getting into acting, which, at his age, is an impressive leap. I confess I don’t know much about him—maybe he has some previous experience. The movie is about a dad having a midlife crisis who throws a party for himself. Naturally, it’s named after a song: Ordinary World.

Earlier this week I saw a screening of Shin Godzilla, the reboot of the monster from its original studio in Japan, Toho. It’s a lot of fun, and will show two more times in the coming weeks. For the review and showtimes, go here.

This week if you’re still mourning the passing of comic genius Gene Wilder, you’ll also have a chance to see Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein.
