Week of October 1 – 7, 2026
79 films across 19 independent theaters in Portland this week. Driving down Burnside today, I glanced at the marquee of the Laurelhurst. Digger is here! I don't know why, but this crazy film has caught my imagination. I've only seen the trailers but to me it looks like Dr. Strangelove meets The Big Lebowski. Tom Cruise is a polarizing figure, but he does know how to get into a character. I hope to see it this week. How about you?
On the other hand, a feature length John Wilson joint might be what we all need. "After attending a workshop on how to write and sell a Hallmark movie, filmmaker John Wilson tries to use the same formula to sell a documentary about concrete."
