If you love movies and you can get to Montclair, New Jersey this weekend…come on down. The Montclair Film Festival wraps nearly a week of screening 80 films and hosting free panels. MFF has an excellent mix of films including documentaries, comedies, family films and drama. More reviews of the movies we have seen will be coming up on the website shortly. In the meantime, check out some movies this weekend in Montclair. It’s a great town with lots to see and plenty of restaurants and places to fill your belly with yummy food. Please check the Montclair Film Festival website for ticket availability. Many of the screenings this weekend may be sold out in advance, but if you show up at the theater before the screening you might just score some rush tickets at the box offce. If you tweet, follow them on twitter for the updates. #MFF13 Congratulations to all the filmmakers participating in this event and a special shout out to the 600 volunteers who make the festival happen.

(L-R) Thom Powers (he’s everywhere!) and writer/Staten Island native Chris Galletta introduce THE KINGS OF SUMMER (2013) at Montclair Kimberley Academy (6 Lloyd Rd). THE KINGS OF SUMMER is funny, smart and well written. The movie is about three teenage boys who decide to run away from their families and build a house in the woods. THE KINGS OF SUMMER will be in select theaters May 31. Highly recommended!
