What's new and/or interesting in Philly theaters this weekend. Most Likely to Rule: Diva - The 1981 debut film from the director of the more recent Diving Bell and the Butterfly is about a famous opera singer who refuses to be recorded, and the fan who one night sneaks a tape recorder into her performance and tapes her anyway. Eventually the fan and the singer become friends, but there's also a labyrinthine plot involving two......

Film: Stoned Future Screenings: none The screening of Stoned marked my first experience with "The Cinema at Penn." I'd been before, when the theater was known as Cinemagic (and all sorts of classy nicknames), and I'd hoped that maybe it would at least smell better than it did when I was last there, three years ago, on opening weekend of The Pirates of the Caribbean.
