There’s some exciting movies and filmmakers coming to Dallas later this month. This morning we received an official press release from the long-running USA Film Festival. This year some of the films include classics like THE PRINCESS BRIDE (along with Rob Reiner in attendance), TRUE GRIT (with star Kim Darby) and more. It’s all happening at the Angelika Film Center in Mockingbird Station, which we of course already have a close relationship with, and chances are you’ll see Bigfanboy.com out and about at the various screenings. Tickets for all programs are an affordable $10, so you have no excuse to miss the fun. Check out the full press release below.
