    This special encore of the critically-acclaimed audience sensation “Harold and Maude” is just in time before the Sedona International Film Festival which will feature the premiere of “Celebrating Laughter, The Life and Films of Colin Higgins”. Higgins is the writer of “Harold and Maude” and other crowd-pleasing comedies including “9 to 5” and “Best Little Whorehouse in Texas” as well as “Foul Play” and “Silver Streak”. Relive this classic film the way it was meant to be seen: on the big screen!

    “Harold and Maude” — directed by Hal Ashby — stars Ruth Gordon, Bud Cort and Vivian Pickles. Both Gordon and Cort received Golden Globe nominations for their performances in the film.

    Deadpan rich boy Harold (Bud Cort) keeps staging elaborate suicide tableaux to get the attention of his mother (Vivian Pickles), but she keeps planning his brilliant future for him instead. Obsessed with the trappings of death, Harold freaks out his blind dates, modifies his new sports car to look like a mini-hearse, and attends funerals, where he meets the spirited Maude (Ruth Gordon).

    An eccentric to the core, Maude lives exactly as she pleases, with avid collecting and nude modeling among her many pursuits. To the disgust of Harold’s relatives and the befuddlement of Harold’s shrink, Harold falls in love with her. As lilting Cat Stevens tunes play on the soundtrack, Maude teaches Harold a valuable lesson about making the most of his time on earth.

    “Harold and Maude” will be shown at the Alice Gill-Sheldon Theatre Feb. 10 and 11 for two shows only. Showtimes will be 3:30 p.m. on Friday, Feb. 10 and 6:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 11.

    Tickets are $12, or $9 for Film Festival members. For tickets and more information, please call 928-282-1177. Both the theatre and film festival office are located at 2030 W. Hwy. 89A, in West Sedona. For more information, visit: www.SedonaFilmFestival.org.

    A Bad Moon Rising

    By Tommy Acosta
    What the hell is going on? Is the fabric of society in the U.S. tearing apart at the seams? Watching those videos of teens gone wild, smashing windows, stealing from shopping centers, laughing while running over bicyclists — an omen of things to come? What can be done? Catch them? Incarcerate them. Put them in jails until they learn enough about crime to come out as skilled criminals? These kids, these young men and women of color, are growing wild in the streets. From fatherless homes, unable to properly read or write, a dismal and destitute future ahead of them. What is going to happen when they reach adulthood? The cops can’t stop them. There are simply too many. They can flash mob a phalanx of cops and just run berserk around them. What are the police to do? Shoot them? Read more→
