Thru SAT 2/23, MON 2/25: Annual Bugs Bunny Film Festival

Various Times
13th Annual Bugs Bunny Film Festival
at Brattle Theatre, 40 Brattle St, Cambridge (Harvard Sq)
$9.50

If Bugs Bunny and friends are at the Brattle, it must be winter vacation week. The question that comes to my mind: Is it worth $9.50 to watch a bunch of cartoons that seen a hundred times already? I went last year or the year before, and I loved it. There were a bunch of kids that might have been watching them for the first time, so it was great to hear the fresh laughter. I didn't even mind the kids talking here and there.

I'll always been a fan of Looney Tunes, and I think Bugs Bunny is one of the greatest, most versatile comic actors of all time. Whether he's hippity-hopping to international locales, yukking it up through history, spoofing fairy tales, singing opera, or simply cross-dressing to evade Elmer Fudd -- this rabbit could get you laughing dozens of ways while remaining the same cool smart-ass.

And look at all the crap that's out in the theatres right now! (Jumper? Fool's Gold?)

The programs started on Friday, but the rest of the screenings are:

All Bugs Revue:

TUES 2/19, THUR 2/21
