DVDS For These Economic Times Foreclosures and layoffs seem to be the biggest news stories these days. But before you shell out $9.00 for a 2 hour escapist experience in a film like Iron Man, check out what alternative forms of entertainment, your local business can offer you. We have a few recommendations for these economic times, and it runs the gamut. You can kick the recession original gansta syle with Grapes of Wrath, or check out a recent release, B.I.K.E. to be inspired by some individuals who never bought into the system in the first place. Directors Jacob Sepitmus and Anthony Howard create a gritty, conceptually dichotomous and visually stylistic film with B.I.K.E. The film is a depiction of the Brooklyn chapter of the Black Label Bike Club (BLBC), a fringe network of tall bike jousters that combine and justify their medieval inspired competitions with environmentalist and anti-consumerist rhetoric and politically radical ideals. |

| This Summer: Pineapple Express We here at Citizen Video love David Gordon Green, who made his name with the ultra-indie George Washington, as well as All the Real Girls and Undertow and the upcoming Snow Angels. We also love Judd Apatow, responsible for Freaks and Geeks, Knocked Up, and Superbad, among others. So when we heard the Apatow had hand-picked Green for a big stoner-action-buddy-comedy to be released in summer 2008, we couldn't help but get a little excited. From a script by Seth Rogen and Evan Goldberg, who wrote Superbad together (and we know Rogen from his starring turns as well), Pineapple involves a pothead, Rogen, and his dealer, James Franco, who are witnesses to a murder and must elude both the folks who would like to see them dead as well as the cops who think they're responsible, all because of the best pot ever, Pineapple Express. Here's the Red Band trailer that just popped up. |

THE WORD IS OUT |
| In case you didn't catch the buzz going on about Citizen, check out these recent great articles. David Elliott, of the Union-Tribune, wrote this article that appeared in last Sunday's art section. And for some less mainstream media, check our article in Blogsandiego. Keith Boyd did a great job capturing the essence and motivation behind Citizen. |

FILMOUT SAN DIEGO LGBT FILM FESTIVAL ONE WEEK STARTING FRIDAY, APRIL 11 @ LANDMARK KEN |
| FilmOut San Diego's annual LGBT film festival begins today at the Landmark Ken theater. Featuring the best in LGBT shorts and features, FilmOut consistently brings voice to a film community that is so often sadly overlooked. |
| Coming Soon :Harold & Kumar Escape From Guantanamo Bay We here at Citizen might specialize in foreign and indie, but we also love the irreverence of films like Harold and Kumar Go to White Castle and are very much looking forward to the sequel, due out April 25th. The film picks up where the first left off, with the boys on their way to Amsterdam, only to be detained as suspected terrorists. I don't want to give too much away, so you'll just have to check out the red-band trailer below and enjoy for yourselves. |
| Coming Soon:Jellyfish For those who complain that not enough film comes out of Israel, we're happy to present the trailer, courtesy of the filmmakers themselves, for Jellyfish, a multi-character story set in present day Tel Aviv. The film won the Camera D'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival. For more information about this film, check out the Zeitgeist website. |
