New STEELE FILMS website

The fun and sexy guys over at STEELE FILMS have finally revamped their website.

Boy, does it look pretty. If it was a shy girl standing alone near the bar, we would totally pound too many drinks to gain the necessary confidence and then completely embarrass ourselves trying to hit on her.

But seriously, Steele Films is one of the best indie movie companies based around that soul-sucking behemoth of Los Angeles. It's refreshing to filmmakers balancing economic interests with innovative creativity.

BOSTON FRENCH FILM FEST...'til JULY 24

Some of the exhibitions at the MFA might be a little high-brow for us schlock-mongers here at InFEST, but we can't help but appreciate some old-fashioned film d'art. Also, French women are hot.

So get your derriere over to the MFA over the next two weeks and soak up some of the best new films coming out of the cinephile-crazy country of France

I'm looking forward to REBECCA ZLOTWOSKI's coming-of-age biker tragedy with the Beatles-inspired title DEAR PRUDENCE. It looks all sexual and violent. (I'm saying that with hand motions)

Then there's THE TREE, starring CHARLOTTE GAINSBOURG who's continuing her foray into the genre of post-traumatic, nature-themed pictures. But, while ANTI-CHRIST meditated on the horrific physicality of death and nature, this movie looks to be a nausea-inducing heart-warmer, complete with a cute little blond girl who "chooses to be happy" after the death of her father. I'm taking a deep breath before I see this movie, but I'm going to sit through it.

And if you want to take the plunge with me, you can see it at the MFA or starting July 22nd at the KENDALL

To continue the cheese train, see a hefty GERARD DEPARDIEU enjoy conversations with a old lady in MY AFTERNOONS WITH MARGUERITTE. I can't believe this guy was ever a sex symbol...

And then a newcomer named JEAN-LUC GODARD spills out a strange, non-narrative piece FILM SOCIALISME. Let's see if this guy can make a name for himself...
