A tall, icy glass of our favorite internet junk, just for you.

As the world holds its breath, teetering precariously on the cusp of the Super Bowl (well, at least in America), the wheels of the -ists keep on turning.

Mutual Appreciation, which opens today at Ritz at the Bourse, is only the second film by director Andrew Bujalski, but among certain segments of highbrow cinephilia he's already considered to be a rock star. His interests aren't particularly novel--any number of directors, particularly in the orbit of the Sundance Film Festival, have attempted to speak to the lives of self-conscious twentyish urbanites--but Bujalski has won a reputation with what one critic called his "careful attention to ineffable minutiae." Moment by moment, Mutual Appreciation is immediately familiar. Some, like the awkward tete-a-tete over money between father and erstwhile son, are so credible that they'll make you wince.

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

Last night Phillyist attended the first of the three Evenings with the Curators of the 15th Philadelphia Film Festival that we told you about here, and we have to say, it was pretty exciting. Some of the stuff we learned: the festival is running from March 30th through April 11th, which is shorter and earlier than it's been in the past; this is in order to avoid all the religious holidays, and that most non-religious of non-holidays, tax day. The theaters involved will be a lot of the usual suspects (Ritz East, Ritz 5, the Prince Music Theater, the Bridge, the International House), plus one new surprise guest: the Cinema at Penn. What's the Cinema at Penn, you ask? You may remember it as the busted up, broken down, crappy old Cinemagic 3 theater, caddy corner from the Bridge at 40th and Walnut. The film festival folks are going to tear it up inside and rebuild it, leaving us with a beautiful new refurbished theater. Hooray!
