Film Forum's Con Film Festival is a two week celebration of classic Hollywood bad boy movies. The fun kicks off with a double feature of Mervyn LeRoy's 1932 film I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang (pictured) and Howard Hawks's The Criminal Code. About the former, Pauline Kael at the New Yorker wrote, "One of the best of the social protest films, with moments that haunted a generation and one of the great closing scenes in the history of film." Based on a true story about a war veteran's run from the law, the original author was re-captured following post-movie publicity.
Click on the film stills above for more on this week's new releases and repertory screenings, which also include Adoration, Rudo y Cursi, Julia, Next Day Air, Little Ashes, Outrage, Objectified, I Am a Fugitive From a Chain Gang, The Garden , After the Rehearsal, Some Like It Hot, and The Big Lebowski.






just saw ST today before the super nerds. it was stunning. i like the fact that spock gets jungle fever.
Without Shatner as Kirk, it isn't Star Trek.
damn, the shows are sold out. :(, live long and prosper bitches.
I hate it when a director's Pinterian abstractions come off as forced.
I saw it last night. So good.
I just saw it at the Pavilion on Prospect Park and there the theater was still a quarter empty.
Weird for a Friday night opening of something like this.
Actually, I was kind of disappointed. This movie looks like a Long trailer for a new star trek series with the love struck Spock. Also without Shatner it isn't star trek. The movie was ok.
