Most Likely to Rule: The Rape of Europa - Joan Allen narrates a documentary about the art destroyed and displaced by the Nazis during WWII, and the attempts - which began then and are still going on today - by museum officials and art historians to rescue and return said art. Sounds totally fascinating, and the reviews are very good. And given the slim pickings this...

What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. Finishing the Game - We posted the preview for this one a ways back. It's a mockumentary about director Robert Clouse's attempt to finish the film Game of Death after the untimely death of its star, Bruce Lee. In Finishing the Game, Clouse starts a frantic search for an impersonator to replace Lee, and much wackiness and Hollywood satire ensue. Sounds like fun, but keep in...

We'll probably feature this again in tomorrow's CinePhillyist column, but we wanted to give it a quick mention today because it starts tonight: it's the International House's three-day double feature program, Beyond Leone – Lost Spaghetti Western Classics! "Spaghetti Western" is a term used to describe the series of low-budget Westerns shot in other countries - usually Italy - during the '60s and '70s. The most popular and well known entries in the genre are probably the Man with No Name Trilogy, starring Clint Eastwood and directed by Sergio Leone (that's A Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, and The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, all excellent films). But the I-House's program is something really special: a double feature each night, tonight through Saturday night, of really rare, hard-to-find Spaghetti Westerns. Tonight's screening, for instance, includes Quentin Tarantino's personal print of Day of Anger, which stars genre veterans Lee Van Cleef and Guiliano Gemma as an experienced gunfighter and an outcast orphan, respectively. Friday, meanwhile, features two films with the famous Spaghetti Western character Sartana as the main character, including the original Sartana film, If You Meet Sartana Pray for Your Death, as well as a cross-over film where Sartana meets another famous genre character: Django Challenges Sartana (like most superhero cross-over stories, this one starts with the legendary gunmen at each other's throats, but ends with them working together to beat the real bad guys). Finally, Saturday will see a screening of a Magnificent Seven rip-off called Five Man Army, co-written by infamous horror director Dario Argento, with a score by the great Ennio Morricone, and starring Peter Graves, Tetsuro Tamba and Bud Spencer. The last film is screening under the name They Call Me Hallelujah, but we don't know why, because its alternate title is one of the best movie titles we've ever heard: Heads You Die, Tails I Kill You.
