Sigourney Weaver is 59 today, but a hot chick in a mech killing a monster alien remains a timeless image in the minds of sci-fi geeks everywhere. What? You prefer her as Zuul? Either way, it's unofficially movie night, more specifically documentary night, so read on and go get some popcorn. Just don't make a mess.

We like dance. We like film. Put ‘em together and you got a series preview. Bryn Mawr Film Institute will be screening two offerings from the Bolshoi Theatre: The Pharaoh’s Daughter tomorrow night and Bolt next Thursday, both at 7:30PM. The screenings serve as a preview of the BMFI fall series of ballet and film, which we await in a pool of anticipatory drool.

We're excited to note that HBO will be airing a documentary about a Philadelphia painter. The Art of Failure is a feature documentary "about the life of Chuck Connelly, a brilliant yet enigmatic painter who had great success as a young artist in the art boom of the 1980s but who has perpetuated a long downward spiral in his career due to ego, drugs, women, and alcohol. He now is increasingly fearful of his fate. Driven by desperation, Connelly comes up with several crazy schemes to sell his work to galleries and stage a comeback in the art world."

Doug Benson (Best Week Ever, Last Comic Standing, Marijuana-Logues, Doug Benson's I Love Movies) took a joke from his stand-up act about Morgan Spurlock’s documentary, Super Size Me and made it into his own movie called, wait for it, Super High Me.
