The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Others starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 7 p.m. The only way I'd attend if it were free ... which it is for Eastman House members on tonight's screening. Hopefully the quality of the film and its suspense does not hinge on a silly plot twist.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing También la lluvia (Even the Rain) starting at 8 p.m. Having seen the trailer, I'm fascinated by this dark tale of "a cocky young director whose political sympathies run a distant second to his all-consuming passion for filmmaking. Shooting a revisionist account of Columbus's conquest of the Americas in the cheap-labor mecca of Bolivia, [the director] soon learns that history isn't the only thing that needs revising: rising opposition to corporate theft of local water resources becomes difficult to ignore. A film that questions the sincerity and priorities of monied movie producers invading the third world — that is, an ongoing critique of itself."

Dave Wetzel will be at Lori's Natural Foods (900 Jefferson Rd.) today from 9 a.m. to 11 a.m. to discuss Cod Liver Oil — It's History, Manufacturing (Past and Present) and the Health Benefits. Smells like snake oil pseudoscience to me ... and, naturally, Wikipedia's article has a heavy talk page discussing whether the main article is factual. Personally: just show me the links to the peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate positive effects. And if there are benefits, are they better than just eating fish?
