Film Forum's three week Elia Kazan series continues this weekend with the director's 1961 film Splendor in the Grass, starring Warren Beatty and Natalie Wood as star-crossed teens in sexually-repressed 1920s Kansas. New York calls it, "Lush, almost operatic, this is one of Kazan's greatest features—a sensitive and powerful romantic tragedy that marks one final blast of old-school moviemaking before the New Hollywood." (On Sunday and Monday, Film Forum screens Kazan's classic adaptation of A Streetcar Named Desire.)

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!
