Catch 'em while you can!

For some reason, we've got one of the busiest movie weeks of the year about to hit Portland:  almost 20 feature films and 8 new or continuing festivals or special events.  So it's no wonder that the local movie screens need to get out the broom and sweep clean.  Thing is, they're sweeping out some very good films in the process.  Wednesday and Thursday mark your last chances to see the well-worthwhile "Bully," "Damsels in Distress," "The Kid with a Bike," "Marley" and "The Salt of Life," as well as the locally-made indie "Blue Like Jazz" and the action film "Safe House."  Choose accordingly and get watching!

Movies: a clever ‘Cabin,’ a heart-rending ‘Bully,’ fests of Jewish films and cycling movies, and more

Among the movie highlights this week are two signature annual events celebrating milestone anniversaries:  the Portland Jewish Film Festival, now in its 20th year, and Filmed by Bike, now in its 10th.  We've also got reviews of the sharp and surprise-filled horror movie "The Cabin in the Woods," the deeply moving documentary "Bully" and "Blue Like Jazz," a film about education and spirituality shot in Portland.  And, yes, the evergreens:  "Also Opening," "Indie/Arthouse" and "Levy's High Five."
