Flickchart Matchup of the Day
I think we can all agree that women jumping out of airplanes is simply delightful, so let’s check out two films with female parachutists :
Fathom vs. The Tarnished Angels
When most people hear the name Raquel Welch they automatically think of One Million Years B.C. and her cave girl bikini. It’s an iconic image and she is looking pretty good. I don’t dispute that. I do, however, want to let everyone know that the film does not have the final word on Raquel and swimwear. I would argue that her green bikini in Fathom deserves an equal amount of reverence, and that cave people are kind of gross. In Fathom Raquel can speak in complete sentences and her character has access to modern sanitation. Also, she is a trained dental assistant in addition to her parachuting skills. Welch’s Loana character in One Million Years B.C. can make no such claims.

Introducing the Films of AFI FEST 2011
24, Oct 2011
Up until last year, film festivals had always been a bit of a mystery to me. I had gone to a few conventions before and been shown advanced screenings of films, but to actually go to an event where all you did was watch films seemed a bit beyond my reach. Didn’t help either that I had never really lived in areas with affordable or frequent festivals. That is, up until last year when I was introduced to AFI FEST. They hooked me in with free tickets and the promise of engaging cinema from around the world. To say I had fun is a bit of an understatement. As the credits to the last film rolled, I decided that I would come back next year in a more professional manner and write about it.
Which brings us to now. AFI FEST 2011 Presented by Audi is a little over a week away (November 3-10) and they’ve once again made the tickets to all their films free. This is definitely a good thing as there’s quite an impressive lineup this year. It’s going to be difficult scheduling which films I’d like to see!
Listed below are all the films being showcased at the festival. If you’re in the LA area and want to go to any of these screenings hop over to the AFI FEST site and keep an eye out for ticket information.
