Moon Red Vic Movie House	Mon., November 9, 7:15pm more dates/times	Haight/ Fillmore	Film Film - Art House

Visual Acoustics Lumiere Theatre	Daily from Fri., November 6 until Thu., November 12	Hayes Valley/ Tenderloin	Film
Just about everyone in Eric Bricker's festschrift seems to love Julius Shulman, including (adorably) the unstoppable old gent himself. What's not to like? Ninety-three years old at the time of filming, the great photographer of modernist architecture was still working (“What else is... More >>

Erased James Franco Castro Theatre	Sun., November 15, 8:00pm	Castro/ Noe Valley	Film Film - Art House
James Franco isn’t just a live-wire actor and a certified hunk; he’s also a helluva good sport. Rather than parlaying his role in the Spider-Man flicks into pretty-boy parts in Hollywood pabulum, the Palo Alto native has played goofy in comedies (Pineapple Express) and gay in dramas... More >>
