LAW ABIDING CITIZEN PHILADELPHIA SCREENING - Phila Film festival 18 1/2
http://www.phillychitchat.com/2009/10/law-abiding-citizen-philadelphia.html
Almost two weeks ago the Philadelphia Film Festival had their Opening Night at the Prince Theater. The Opening Night Film was shot right here in Philadelphia, and if you are a long time reader of PhillyChitChat, then you know I shot them filming this movie every chance I had. So I was excited that F Gary Gray lived up to his promise and held a screening of the film here in Philly. Law Abiding Citizen is a thriller about a brilliant sociopath who orchestrates a series of high-profile murders that grip the city of Philadelphia - all from inside his jail cell - and the prosecutor assigned to his case who realizes he is the only one who can end the reign of terror.
I've explained before that sometimes I get behind on entry's as I wait until pictures might have a chance to be picked up by the local press. In this case a story and picture was picked up by both Dan Gross' column and Michael Klein's column.
I didn't have a chance to see the film as I had to race down to Front Street to cover another event. But I made it back by 9PM and the after party for the movie at Del Frisco's. Now I have to admit I kept getting mixed messages all week from tipsters, and other people that Gerard Butler was going to try and make it to the AP, but in the end he didn't appear. But there were still plenty of people to be excited about.
Hopefully this weekend I will be seeing LAC. In the future I will be seeing a lot of movies before they hit the public screens, so I will be able to give you the heads up of what I thought was good, and well I never like to talk bad about anything unless it's a real dog, so look forward to my ratings of let's say Popcorn **** I know how original.
