The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Survival of the Dead starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 7 p.m. From the Eastman House calendar: "the sixth and latest installment in director Romero's innovative, influential, and allegorical series of zombie epics provides another story of humans vs. flesh-eating ghouls, with, this time, a spin on the classic Western. The story involves a feud between two warring clan leaders on an isolated island: one who believes that the only good zombie is a dead zombie and another who thinks they should be left alone until a cure can be found, resulting in the perverse spectacle of the undead, chained inside their own homes, pretending to lead normal lives."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Metropolis — The New Restoration! starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 4 p.m. Among the first epic, socially-conscious science fiction films, the film now includes 20 minutes of newly found footage. Despite my desire to see the grandmother of all sexy lady robots once again, I'll be out of town. Consider, though, that Metropolis is the reverse perspective from The Time Machine: both feature an underground working class, but one shows them as ugly mutants and the other as exploited heroes.

The compilation features a dozen hard-core shorts made between 1905 and 1930. It reveals production standards far in advance of comparable films being made elsewhere at the time." Running time?: that's right — 69 minutes.
