They also put up barricades to make us walk out in the street. Nice going, De Blasio and associated fools.<br /><br />PS: Just checking on this: Are we still "Midtown South" or are we now "Tribeca North"?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5694390946037511355.post-19376127497270221842019-04-24T13:09:30.555-04:002019-04-24T13:09:30.555-04:00If you go to the Tribeca Film Festival, stick to t...If you go to the Tribeca Film Festival, stick to the documentaries and avoid the narrative films unless its by a writer, director or has actors you are a big fan of. I have seen many more misses than hits at Tribeca over the years. Most of the narrative films are duds and never get picked up, even on cable. The few films that have stood out were Asian — “The Rocket”, an Australian movie filmed in Laos in 2013 was a good one, or European ‘’ ‘In Order of Disappearance” in 2014 which starred Stellan Skarsgard. For some reason (perhaps government funding and support for the arts?) the foreign films are usually much better quality than the US films. <br /><br />Sorry Tribeca Film but it’s not worth spending $24 a ticket for the evening and weekend tickets to be treated like cattle just to watch a movie you've never heard of and which will never be seen again. Better to go with the $12 matinees and rush tickets, or just hang out during the red carpet openings to watch the stars come and go for free, and which is sometimes even more entertaining than the moviesGiovannihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11061991537085810824noreply@blogger.com
