The Tower Theatre, Salt Lake’s local art cinema and the closest thing to a revival house we have in these parts, has just released the schedule for this year’s “Summer of 35mm,” its annual program of cult favorites and Hollywood classics, and it’s a hell of a line-up this year:
I’ve seen all of this year’s selections before, but there are only a couple of these I wouldn’t want to see again (Clue, which I didn’t care much for, and The Royal Tenenbaums — I just don’t get Wes Anderson’s precious little yuppy autobiographies), and there are several here I’ve never before seen on the big screen, notably Chinatown. The new releases this summer may not be doing much for me, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be spending plenty of time at the movies… I hope!
