SFist Watches: Movies This Weekend

Wow, we almost fell like real film writers when we realize that we've actually seen some of the movies we're recommending this week. First, there's Searching for the Wrong-Eyed Jesus, which opens at the Balboa tonight. SFist Krissy reviewed this "creative non fiction" film which attempt to answer the question "Why does so much music and writing come out of the south?" She dug it and we think you will too. If you come on Sunday Jim White (who appears in the film) will hit the Balboa at 8:30 for a short performance and discussion between showings.

Not only did we see November, we were at the star-studded San Francisco International Film Festival Screening. While our "conversation" with Ms. Arquette certainly makes us feel oh so much closer to her when we watch those reruns of "Friends", we have not come any closer to figuring out the puzzling plot in the intervening months. The only solution we can think of is for all of y'all to go see it and explain it to us, which you can do at the Embarcadero this weekend.

Don't forget that the San Francisco Jewish Film Festival continues with BerkeleyMountain View screenings, so if you're a South Bay person who's not doing all this other cool stuff, maybe you can give the Chosen People a shot?

What about you? Anyone dying to see John Cusack sans Piven? KITT in the air? What's on your cinema agenda for the weekend? Let us know in the comments!
