Around Town: Clint Eastwood, Dan O’Bannon, and more

O.K. so the LACMA exhibit I kept telling you about, “Heroes and Villains: The Battle for Good in India’s Comics,” wasn’t nearly as good as I thought it would be. They kept non-comics pieces separate from the comics, robbing the viewer of any kind of comparison. What comics they did have were mediocre at best, save for some pieces from the ’70s. I think everything back then was better. LACMA had good intentions, but they really had no idea what they were doing.

Anyway, moving on into February, the LACMA Film Program is featuring a Clint Eastwood series. They’ll be showing many of his films, almost all of them classics.

If you have some political fire in your belly, the Aero Theatre has a double feature of “Inherit the Wind” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” just for you. And keep your eyes open for Alfred Hitchcock and Audrey Hepburn double features. Me? I really want to see “Donkey Skin.”

Dan O’Bannon, who passed away less than a year ago, is getting a tribute at the New Beverly Cinema with “Lifeforce” and “Return of the Living Dead.” The hardly-ever-seen “Killer of Sheep” plays the 10th through the 13th, followed by a week of Jason Reitman guest programming and many other films. Their midnight screenings are always a blast, one of them being “Videodrome.” Long live the new flesh!

Finally, Cinefamily is back to their regular programming, so be sure to check out their calendar.
