See a Film on the Rooftops of New York
Attention citizens of New York: Want to see the unreleased indie film I’ll Come Running starring Melonie Diaz on a rooftop in Brooklyn? What if I told you there would be live music plus free wine and beer? Now we’re talking, right?
I liked the movie when I caught it at LAFF and now Rooftop Films is screening it this Saturday for the low low price of $9.
An unexpected one-night stand turns into a day-and-a-half stand for a Dutch tourist in Texas when he meets waitress Melonie Diaz. Little do they know, their innocent hook-up will turn out to have far reaching ramifications that neither could predict.

Awesome.
Sucks not to live in NY sometimes. It sounds like fun. More of an event than a pure movie experience, but still cool.
See, this is exactly the kind of event, though, that could get people outside of the coasts to see little indie films. Make it a one-time event. Sounds so fun. There is so little to do here, if someone said they were going to show a movie–ANY movie–on a rooftop of downtown Ft. Smith, Ark. and have music and beer, they’d be turning people away at the door.
LA has a thing where they show movies on the side of one of the mausoleums at the cemetary behind Paramount Studios where Rudolph Valentino and a bunch of other famous people are buried. I’ve always meant to go, but never have.
No free booze though.
Ok, that movie sounds about as appealing as…ok, it doesn’t sound appealing at all. It’s still to early to come up with a witty turn of phrase.
But seeing a film on the rooftops of New York with free wine/beer and live music? Hecks yeah! I’d watch Martin Lawrence’s entire oeuvre if I could do it in that setting (and did I really just use the word ‘oeuvre’ in conjunction with Martin Lawrence? *shivers*).
The movie was good, but it’s hard to describe without spoiling it.
And to answer your last question…yes. Busted.
