Kudos to the Somerville Theatre...

As part of their 70mmm Film Festival this week, they are screening two excellent examples of the Late Charlton Heston's "epic historic drama" filmography, "El Cid" with Sophia Loren & "Khartoum" costarring Sir Laurence Olivier. The Full Schedule Can Be Found Here. I've been fitfully lobbying various local repertory entities for some sort of a retrospective for the late Charlton Heston, (an "axiom" of the cinema per Michel Mourlet) who career spanned decades and overleaped genres with ease. Tickets are still on sale for today's 2pm screening of "El Cid" in sumptuous 35mm... advise purchasing tickets early, a leisurely lunch before settling in.
