FILM: Dude, This Film is Epic!
Second Saturdays at noon, June—September
You know what rules? The one time in Lawrence of Arabia when Omar Sharif shoots that one dude for drinking his water. Totally harsh. Or in Spartacus, when the slaves start shouting “I’m Spartacus”. That was sweet.
Short films? Get that weak sauce out of here. Long films rule!
Join staffer Chris Boerger for monthly films that are as lengthy as they are cool. Epic!
