L.A. Readers! You're Getting Another Chance To Check Out Joe Cornish's Amazing ATTACK THE BLOCK!
Beaks here...

Did you miss out on last month's screening of Joe Cornish's superb alien invasion flick ATTACK THE BLOCK? Well, the good folks at Sony/Screen Gems (who recently acquired the U.S. distribution rights) want to give readers of AICN, HitFix, Badass Digest and Collider another opportunity to check out the winner of the Midnight Screening Audience Award at this year's SXSW Film Festival!
The screening will be held Tuesday, April 26th at the Landmark Theatre, and you can RSVP by immediately emailing attacktheblockrsvp@gmail.com. Full details regarding the screening are below. If you're free, you absolutely want to be at the Landmark Tuesday night. Cornish's film is one of the most assured debut features I've ever seen - an effortless blend of smart sci-fi, horror, comedy and subtle social commentary. Tonally, it owes a great deal to John Carpenter and Joe Dante, but it's still very much its own thing.
So fire off an email, and good luck! Hopefully, we'll soon have an official release date to announce.

Just emailed for the RSVP, I'd like to bring my 13yo son. Is there an age limit? I didn't see one.

Beaks pimping a movie near and dear to the heart of "Faraci"? I'm not surprised.

Oh, it's an event co-sponsored by the laughably titled "Faraci" forum Badass Digest? Definitely not surprised. I'm telling ya, Harold. Watch your back. These guys are coming for you.

Too many free screenings are gonna kill the box office, like Pilgrim and Kick Ass
by ImMorganFreeman
Just sayin, they shouldn't over show the flick, otherwise they'll lose their entire audience that already saw the flick. Of course, that's not stopping me from trying to see it, but still.

Sad news, Sarah Jane has passed on.

A few free screenings never killed a movie at the box office. Scott Pilgrim had the bad timing of competing with The Expendables.
