Catch 'em while you can!

Bully.jpgfrom "Bully"
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 wild ‘Raid,’ a sexy ‘Chico,’ a hearfelt ‘Undefeated,’ and more

Reviews of this week's new releases from today's A&E.

There's some really fine stuff new to local theaters this week.  I'm especially fond of the Indonesian martial arts extravaganza "The Raid," but I heartily recommend the Oscar-winning high school football documentary "Undefeated" and the Oscar-nominated animated musical "Chico & Rita" (surprisingly grown-up, that one).  There's also the Belgian slice-of-grim-life drama "The Kid with a Bike."  All that -- plus "Also Opening," "Indie/Arthouse" and "Levy's High Five" -- for the fabulous price of free!  Enjoy!
