What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend

What's new and/or interesting on television this week.

It's a good time to release a documentary about a rockstar activist speaking out against the President and his administration for continuing a costly and unpopular war in a foreign country. And indeed in some ways The U.S. vs. John Lennon is about current events; a number of the interviewees make comparisons to contemporary figures and occurrences, and comparisons not voiced out loud in the film were voiced out loud by audience members in the theater. There were even some modern anti-war activists on hand at the screening I attended, handing out posters and leaflets and so forth - even WMGK, the local radio station at the screening, was giving out buttons reading "War Is Over! If you want it" (the text of a poster that John and Yoko put up one Christmas in cities all over the world). This gave a fresh relevance to the film and brought its thirty-year-old subject handily into the present.
