At the End of the Tunnel

cracking thriller from Argentina about a paraplegic dude who discovers bank robbers are digging a tunnel under his house. do you like a thriller with a smart protagonist? heist movies? you go now. (I saw it as a preview, all showings are upcoming.)

I have seen so many fucking ads for Valley of Love on TV 5 Monde. it looked like a shitty movie I didn’t want to see the first ten times.

The Girl Without Hands

Dirtbag: the Legend of Fred Beckey

doc about a climber from Seattle, known among serious climbers but not really outside the community. made with his cooperation, it has some pretty remarkable archival footage and great interviews. the guy is a scream (he reminds me of varina8's C). he's still sleeping rough and climbing in his 90s. recommended for mountains and Seattleness (at one point he's trying to arrange a climbing date from inside my neighborhood outdoor store) and all the stories about his disgusting habits. this was a presser, all showings remain.
