Taking Inventory as of May 23

I've been so busy going to the movies, I haven't had time to write about them or the movies I'm planning on seeing. I've been to the theater 15 out of the last 19 days and have seen 30 films during that period.

I will postpone cataloging the films from I Wake Up Dreaming: The Haunted World of the B Film Noir at the Roxie since that series is still in progress. However, I will say that they passed out a flyer today for Noir Redux: The Best of I Wake Up Dreaming from May 29 to June 3. The crowds have been fairly large (by Roxie standards) for the screenings I've been to so encore performances are certainly justified.
