Director Jason Reitman Guest-Programs The New Beverly Cinema In February

This information is probably only going to be interesting to Los Angeles-area residents and Jason Reitman-addicts, but it seems worth posting nonetheless.  The Academy Award nominated writer/director/producer is guest programming the nights of double features at The New Beverly Cinema, Los Angeles' greatest revival movie theatre, owned by director and film lover Quentin Tarantino.  Past guest-programing series have featured selections from Tarantino, Edgar Wright, Eli Roth, Diablo Cody, and most recently, director Stuart Gordon.

Whenever a filmmaker assumes the programming duties at the New Bev, it is always interesting to see not only what films they are choosing, but what they are pairing them with, and if they will show one of their own.

The schedule for Reitman's nights is as follows:

• february 19, 20
  • Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
    • Fri: 7:30; Sat: 3:20 & 7:30
  • Election (1999)
