The 17th annual Boston Underground Film Festival is set to explode all over the Brattle Theater in Harvard Square on March 25-29.
Opening Night: The fun kicks off on the 25th at 7:30 p.m. with the exciting new flick from the always amazing Astron-6 collective, The Editor, an homage to the brutal Giallo movies of the ’70s and ’80s directed by Adam Brooks and Matthew Kennedy. This will be followed by the restored version of the legendary cult classic Gone With the Pope by the notorious Duke Mitchell.
Closing Night: Goodnight Mommy the debut feature film by Severin Fiala and Veronika Franz, will screen at 8:30 p.m. on the 29th and is a nightmarish vision of familial dread when twin brothers believe their cosmetically altered mother is literally not the woman she used to be.
Other features include a mix of horror, like Matt O’Mahoney’s...

The Monty Python reunion in July might be the biggest cultural event of 2014. The Pythons- John Cleese, Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Terry Gilliam and Terry Jones, minus the still dead Graham Chapman- are comedy royalty, and sketches like the Dead Parrot, the Lumberjack song and Sam Peckinpah’s Salad Days, as well as three movies, have sealed their status as masters of surreal humour.
Any rundown of iconic Python moments would make a very long list- so why this fairly short, critical piece? Well, as big as the reunion is, there are several factors counting against it.
