Adela, from Filipino director Adolfo Borinaga Alix Jr., is screening through Monday MoMA, as part of the museum’s ContemporAsian series. It stars acclaimed Filipino actress Anita Linda in the title role, a former radio personality celebrating her 80th birthday in the slums of Manila. Stephen Holden at the Times calls it "a gem of contemporary neo-realism, the movie offers a ground-level view of a poor but vital community where many residents survive by scavenging bits of recyclable steel and plastic...Some of the film’s most extraordinary moments are scenes in which the stationary camera, observing the world through Adela’s eyes, surveys the teeming wasteland in which everything seems to be in motion."
Click on the film stills above for more details and reviews on this week's new releases and repertory screenings, which also include Black Dynamite; Law Abiding Citizen; New York, I Love You; Food Beware; The Little Traitor; The Maid; Adela; Splendor in the Grass; Beetlejuice; and Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Sigh, I remember when I thought Gerard Butler was swoon-worthy (Dear Frankie!) but now, he's so over.
Sooo...how many weeks do I have to wait to avoid crowded theaters for Wild Things? 3? 4? 6? Can I just avoid the theater altogether and wait for the DVD/Blu Ray?
But Imax!
