10 Years Ago<\/strong> \u2026 Wednesday, March 15, 2006:<\/em> The first feature film production from Dreamscape Cinema<\/strong> of Champaign<\/strong> to receive distribution, CRAB ORCHARD<\/strong>, is shown locally at the Virginia Theatre<\/strong> as a Midwest premiere. Producer and writer Robin Christian<\/strong> introduces the 7 p.m.<\/strong> screening to a near-capacity crowd north of 1,300. After appearing first in international markets and undergoing a title change, CRAB ORCHARD<\/strong> would come to U.S. DVD in early 2011 as SHEEBA<\/strong> (Questar Home Video<\/strong>). The cast of this family drama includes Ruby Handler, Dylan Patton, Betsy Zajko, Judge Reinhold<\/strong>, and Edward Asner<\/strong>. Media entrepreneur and photojournalist Michael J. Jacobs<\/strong> directed the film for Dreamscape. As reported on 3\/12\/06, 3\/19\/06, 1\/27\/11 at <\/em>CUBlog<\/span><\/strong>.<\/em><\/p>\n

FLICKER OF THE WEEK<\/strong><\/p>\n

Connoisseurs of the American art house \u201cgolden era\u201d in the late Fifties and early Sixties can relive that pivotal period at the Normal Theater<\/strong> in Normal<\/strong> this weekend with a revival of Fran\u00e7ois Truffaut<\/strong>\u2019s THE 400 BLOWS<\/strong> (1959) and a new documentary by Kent Jones<\/strong>, HITCHCOCK\/TRUFFAUT<\/strong> (Cohen Media Group<\/strong>), which examines the legacy of Sir Alfred Hitchcock<\/strong> through interviews with modern directors and the fabled audio recording made in 1962 of a wide-ranging conversation between Hitch and the French critic-turned-filmmaker Truffaut. On the opposite end of the aisle, consumers of multiplex pop culture have apparently received another gift from producer J.J. Abrams<\/strong> in 10 CLOVERFIELD LANE<\/strong> (Paramount Pictures<\/strong>), a spiritual successor to the monster mash CLOVERFIELD<\/strong> (2008) opening wide today. Directed by Dan Trachtenberg<\/strong> and starring Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Gallagher, Jr.<\/strong>, and the great John Goodman<\/strong>, this thriller brings their characters together in an underground bunker after a largely unexplained calamity. Shrewdly cagey trailers all but show that Michelle (Winstead) is fated to escape the confines built by the unpredictable Howard (Goodman) and face whatever additional horrors reside on the surface. The Rotten Tomatoes<\/strong> consensus is quite favorable<\/a><\/span>, if you follow such things.<\/p>\n
