• Once Upon A Time In Los Angeles…

  

  Last night, we scootered out to the Alex Theater for a special screening of Sergio Leone’s “The Good, The Bad and The Ugly”.  What an awesome, inspired film.  Now I would love to see more Spaghetti Westerns on the big screen! Especially beautiful and moving was Alessandro “The Whistler” Alessandroni’s live performance (swf file) …Alessandro whistled on numerous Morricone soundtracks, and last night you could have heard a pin drop as his haunting tones filled the Alex theatre.

  Saturday: The Gene Autry Museum premieres  “Once Upon a Time In Italy: The Westerns of Sergio Leone” Exhibition.

  The Autry Museum is celebrating the Western films of Leone in great style; aside from the exhibition, there’s a screening of ‘Once Upon a Time In The West’ on Wednesday at the Arclight, and next Saturday ‘A Fistful Of  Dollars’ (with an encore performance by Alessandro Alessandroni) will be playing at the museum.  There’s also an outdoor screening in August of  ‘Dollars’ at Griffith Park, for which I’ll be grabbing my blanket and attending.

  Friday Saturday night: Launch of Tiki Magazine Issue #2! Look out for the article on Super Mahi Tiki!
