Here's a list of films opening in PDX worth mentioning, although I don't have the time to write at length about them. Plenty of stuff out there to enjoy over the weekend:
The Laurelhurst Theater is continuing their BAM (Beer and Movie) film festival this week with Sam Peckinpah's 1972 convicts-on-the-run, flick The Getaway, starring Steve McQueen and Ali MacGraw.
Cinema 21 is heading into their final week of showing the Indonesian action hit The Raid: Redemption. On Saturday the 21st, they'll be hosting a single screening of the new documentary about the politics of vaccinations, The Greater Good, at 4pm.
The 20th Portland Jewish Film Festival continues this weekend at the NW Film Center's Whitsell Auditorium. On Friday and Saturday, the NWFC hosts The Rabbi's Cat, an animated feature concerning a feline who gains the power of speech. My Architect, the quite good documentary from 2003, about Louis Kahn plays on Sunday at 4pm.
Over at PSU's 5th Avenue Cinema, Wong Kar Wai's 1997 film Happy Together will light up the screen over the weekend.
And the Clinton Street Theater's got John Walker's A Drummer's Dream through next Thursday.
