February is here! And that means that we can get into all the great film festivals that will be taking place in the next couple of weeks. One of them, the San Francisco Indie Film Festival, started yesterday and there are a lot of movies to highlight for this weekend. The other big festival I'm interested in, Modern Cinema, will kick off next week.
Today is the opening day for the third installment of the Ring franchise, Rings. Currently, this movie is getting hated on from all sides, but I actually enjoyed it. So check it out at your own discretion.
