Weekend Highlights for L.A. International Film Festival
The American Film Institute Los Angeles International Film Festival continues at the Cineplex Odeon Century Plaza Cinemas this weekend. Highlights from today’s and Sunday’s program follow.
SUNDAY
‘The Squamish Five’
United States, 1988, 96 minutes 2:45 p.m. Flat, tedious and unintentionally hilarious account of the activities of an actual Canadian terrorist group of the early ‘80s. Director Paul Donovan and writers Ken Gass and Terence McKenna’s only point seems to be to show how an idealistic, staggeringly naive 18-year-old becomes a pawn of the terrorists. Wretchedly written, directed and acted--and a foolish waste of potent subject matter.
