this week's entry has creepy potential. i give you james wan's the conjuring (2013).

he's got the look

not one sun-dappled, waving wheat-covered horizon was left pensively un-peered into. no ecstatically tortured embrace was spared in bringing you this major motion picture event.

this week's super late entry is for janus films' new restoration of fred c. newmeyer and sam taylor's safety last!(1923), starring harold lloyd.


this pristine new print is currently touring the u.s. and you can read more about the restoration and see the screening schedule here. if you are lucky enough to live in one of those cities you should really take advantage of this opportunity to see a bit of film history the way it was meant to be seen.
