Indie flicks playing in Fresno this week

UPDATE!: As I expected, “Rudo y Cursi” and “Is Anybody There?” have been booted with the arrival of “Terminator Salvation” and “Dance Flick.” For shame. At least we got 7 days, hope you guys were able to make it out!

Original Post (May 18, 2009):
The movie-monopoly that is Regal Entertainment Group has graced us with the presence of a couple indie flicks in Fresno multiplexes this week. Opening last Friday at Regal Manchester Stadium 16 (aka. Signature) was the Mexican comedy / drama “Rudo y Cursi” (starring Diego Luna) and the British comedy / drama
“Is Anybody There?” (starring Michael Caine).

I actually recommended these films to Fresno Filmworks, but it looks like Regal already had ‘em on the docket… which is surprising. But we Fresnans don’t care how we get our indie flicks (OK not entirely true, still support FFW!), just as long as we get ‘em! So go out there and see these flicks, it’ll show Regal there’s a market in the Central Valley for art/indie films. And do it fast, because with more summer blockbusters just around the corner… I doubt these films will be in multiplexes for long. Catch the trailers after the break.
