Spring has officially sprung, and with it comes the 14th Philadelphia Film Festival to shower us with cinematic goodness. Thanks to a dedicated staff, featuring programming super star Travis Crawford, the festival is stronger than ever this year with something for just about any taste.

Monsters At Play will be at the scene of the crime for the next ten days to check out a wide assortment of fresh new films, from swordplay epics and coming-of-age stories to the latest in Ring-esque horror flicks and S&M exploitation. And then there's Oldboy, which proves once and for all that Korea is a sad, sad place to be these days.

We'll have daily updates, editorial pieces and in-depth review articles throughout the festival, so check back every day. And as long as it doesn't rain every day like it did last year, then expect to see plenty of photos of our smiling mugs (we know you love that stuff). See you at the festival!

Michael says: Cutie Honey is an insufferable exercise in candy-coated visual excess that would be far more tolerable in animated form.
