Today, my NY NY article about last week's events went up on indieWIRE. Though I am quite happy with the content, I always feel a bit frustrated when it is a week crowded with particularly good events because I feel like I can not give them all their fair due. This is, of course, no one's fault but my own as I need to learn to convey much more information in a concise manner. But for the time being, I wanted to point your attention to one particular event that is going to occur in the coming week's that kicked off Wednesday night in New York. It's The Museum of the Moving Images horror series entitled "It's Only a Movie". For space reasons, I got to write about the opening event (the New York Premiere of Eli Roth's "Hostel 2" - more to come on that here), but not the series itself. So, picking up where the article leaves off, I would add this paragraph:

The film's playfully devilish tone mixed with the multiple questionably offensive scenes that are up for several levels of interpretation made for the perfect opening act to a series of cinema that celebrates limit pushing and the human fascination with fear. Very much like btoh Roth and his killers are seperately doing in “Hostel 2”, the directors featured in the two cleverly paired waves of horror films all feed their work with a preoccupation with allegory and the human condition. Matching the artistically inclined, little nightmares of early Dario Argento and Alexandre Aja or the apocalyptic warnings of George Romero and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo really draws out a personal terror in all of us, one that, as Roth aptly sites, was very prevalent during the Vietnam War era and has resurfaced today. It may not be your parent’s classy chance to catch up the latest worldly cinema, but “It’s Only a Movie,” despite its dime-store title, is sure to be one of the most timely cinema series to appear in NYC this summer.

Lastly, since I linked to this off of my article, I'm going to make this like a treasure hunt and say for even MORE information on the series, refers to the source: The Museum of the Moving Image.
