This week on "Keep it Local" we talk about how awful From Paris With Love is starring John Travolta, that it actually becomes good (on some level). And I'm as shocked as you are, but Dear John isn't awful, until a plot twist makes you simply stop caring.

There is also two film festivals starting next week in Portland.

We have the new one ... BAMFEST, that's the Beer and Movie Fest. Sounds like a great idea. Companies like New Belgium, Ninkasi Brewing and Hopworks are involved on some level. Plus, the film Sonicsgate will be there, showcasing the destruction of the Seattle Supersonics. For some Blazers fans, it will probably be a comedy, but for most it should be tragedy. Films like Alien, Big Trouble in Little China and Labyrinth will also be showcased.

There's also the big one ... The Portland International Film Festival (PIFF). I get two recommendations in the clip below.
