Do we need another zombie movie and another variation on Assault on Precinct 13/Rio Bravo? No, we don’t and the obnoxious Last Rites, set in gang-infested downtown LA, doesn’t even feature Milla Jovovich in spandex to at least provide some dose of excitement in third-rate zombie-land.
A local film about Echo Park microcosm Quinceanera, the centerpiece premiere, was fresh, funny and heartfelt, even daring a quite provocative happy ending, in terms of morality (listening to the contrasting reactions of old conservative Mexican men and gay couples in the audience provided entertainment as well).
Los Muertos, a contemplative and naturalistic work from Argentinean director Lisandro Alonso offered a moment of rare beauty, following the odyssey of an ex-con going to see his daughter after getting released from jail.
