Once Upon A Time In The West...

...AKA one of my all-time favorite movies, is being screening this FRIDAY NIGHT at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. It's a brand new print of the uncut version, so this is a rare chance to see Sergio Leone's masterpiece in all its wide-screen glory. Charles Bronson, Jason Robards, and a thoroughly chilling performance by Henry Fonda (!). Interestingly enough, horror director Dario Argento was involved in writing the story, or maybe that's not so odd given Fonda's character. $5.00 for non-members and since BSG is no longer airing Friday nights, I can make this recommendation guilt free!
