"WALL-E" - Jun 29th
Join the Boston Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Jun 29th at 7:05pm for WALL-E at the Regal Fenway Stadium 13 . Look for Sean wearing a nametag in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
"After hundreds of lonely years of doing what he was built for, WALL-E (short for Waste Allocation Load Lifter Earth-Class) discovers a new purpose in life (besides collecting knick-knacks) when he meets a sleek search robot named EVE. EVE comes to realize that WALL-E has inadvertently stumbled upon the key to the planet's future, and races back to space to report her findings to the humans (who have been eagerly awaiting word that it is safe to return home). Meanwhile, WALL-E chases EVE across the galaxy and sets into motion one of the most exciting and imaginative comedy adventures ever brought to the big screen. Joining WALL-E on his fantastic journey across a universe of never-before-imagined visions of the future, is a hilarious cast of characters including a pet cockroach, and a heroic team of malfunctioning misfit robots."

The Animation Show is back with an all-new collection of incredible independent animation! This year Mike Judge has gathered together over two dozen of his favorite funny short films from around the world. It's a groundbreaking program of eye-popping adult animation from tomorrow's next great animators. This isnt a dirty adults only animation show but the program does skew towards a mature audience with some explicit language and adult subject matter. This year The Animation Show has commissioned some truly amazing new work from four incredible artists. Kicking things off is the uber-talented Joel Trussell with an epic viking Animation Show Intro. Australian animator Dave Carter debuts three new commissioned shorts with the hilarious Psychotown. Dave continues his collaboration with the comedy team The Nice Guys for a blend of cut out and stop-motion animation. Also featured is stop-motion superstar PES, who has been an Animation Show regular the last two tours and returns this year with the instructional cooking treat Western Spaghetti. This is PESs most complex film to date and an instant classic! The program also features the first commissioned short film from the commercial design team Smith and Foulkes (known for their award-winning commercial spots for Coke and Motorola) with the CG tale This Way Up. The piece centers around two undertakers working hard to lay the dead to rest. Like past tours this new program is packed with festival favorites and premieres. This year The Animation Show is the first to theatrically share the work of Steve Dildarian (new HBO series "The Life and Times of Tim" debuting in September). Another highlight is a collection of films never seen in the U.S. from the prestigious French animation college Gobelins, featuring the shorts Burning Safari, Cocotte Minute, Voodoo and Blind Spot. Returning this year are animation greats Bill Plympton with the premiere of Hot Dog, Corky Quakenbush with the irreverent Yompi and Georges Schizgebels gorgeous Jeu"!

"More scrupulously reported than your average Michael Moore film but every bit as entertaining." - Peter Debruge, Variety
From the producers of BOWLING FOR COLUMBINE and FAHRENHEIT 9/11 comes a new film that unflinchingly explores America's win-at-all-cost culture through the lens of a personal journey. Blending comedy and pathos, BIGGER, STRONGER, FASTER* is a collision of pop culture and first-person narrative, with a diverse cast including US Congressmen, professional athletes, medical experts and everyday gym rats.
At its heart, this is the story of director Christopher Bell and his two brothers, who grew up idolizing muscular giants like Hulk Hogan, Sylvester Stallone and Arnold Schwarzenegger, and who went on to become members of the steroid-subculture in an effort to realize their American dream. "
