The Werner Herzog Attack Wing of Bostonist.com has been breathlessly awaiting the Boston release of Bad Lieutenant Port of Call New Orleans, Herzog's not-remake of Abel Ferrara's 1992 classic. Darryl Strawberry doesn't show up in this newer version, we don't think, but Nic Cage, Mr. Dinosaur Skull does, which might even be better.

It officially kicked off yesterday, but the majority of Independent Film Festival Boston starts unreeling tonight. If the festival's coverage in the Globe is any gauge of the way moviegoers choose their movies, it is clear that most people want their movies to match their lifestyle preferences. IFFBoston, with its long list of films and many venues, leaves these kinds of category distinctions to the hapless fan. Bostonist attempts to do the work for you.

Rescue Dawn is screening at several theaters in the area. Check the Brattle calendar for showtimes ofThe Mystery of Kaspar Hauser and Aguirre, the Wrath of God. The last two movies run through Monday.

Chalk it up to Bostonist’s philosophy that it can’t be that bad if it’s free, we’re heading to see the Staind show on City Hall Plaza after work today. The Fusion Flash Concert, which Staind spilled the beans about the date on their website a couple weeks ago, has officially been...

At first thought it doesn't sound like such a bad idea to spend a dozen (or so) summers in Alaska. Cooler temps, longer daylight hours, mukluks (by the way - Mukluks are SO in for the fall; Uggz are SO out!), whale blubber ... could it possibly get any better? Maybe it can if stalking grizzly bears is your cup of tea. If you're just warming up to the idea and need to think about it a little more, maybe seeing Grizzly Man" will help you out. Or, if you're just looking to see a movie about bear-obsessed Tim Treadwell scoping out the Grizzly world then here's your chance to check it all out ahead of the general public. Grizzly Man, the latest from Werner Herzog, is about grizzly bear activist Timothy Treadwell, a man who lived and filmed, for 13 summers, immersed in the grizzly habitat.
