This week, Phillyist saw the waters of a landmark fountain run red for a Showtime marketing stunt, the Phils pull ahead, and some serious nostalgia. They also got a chance to review an awesome tribute album, reminded folks to see the King and appreciated their beautiful skyline. Chicagoist knows what it's like to like the Cubs.

They'd like to see 800-1,000 word essays that "avoid the plot summaries and superficial value judgments of newspaper criticism," to be distributed at screenings and posted on their web site: "Anything from a personal recollection of the first time you saw Vertigo to an abridged academic paper on its critique of the......

With the a Boston Film Festival going on this week Bostonist is on the lookout for anything that might give respite from the usual summertime fare at one of the local megaplexes.
