New Sacramento Film Blog/Community

Monday, November 10th, 2008

from The Sac Rag

The 4 goals of the E Stree Film Society from creator DB:

1) See every supposedly “GREAT” movie I have never seen.
2) Create a functioning online film society where people can see and discuss movies with each other.
3) Schedule only films available on Netflix (if you do not subscribe to Netflix, I’ll give you a few minutes to catch up with the rest of us here in November 2008…hey, you’re here…heckuva ride, wasn’t it?)
4) Hunt down and kill Osama bin Laden.

Not too ambitious.  First up, one of my favorites, Seven Samurai.

The nonprofit org DVDs4Vets is in the midst of a Veterans Day drive to encourage showbiz companies and others to donate DVDs (new and used) for distribution to medical facilities around the country devoted to the care of veterans.
