In it, our hero searches for the Golden Fleece and encounters many a stop-motion animated creature along the way. It’s part of Garfield Park’s Vintage Movie Night celebration of the films of Ray Harryhausen. Details here.

And the Indianapolis International Film Festival does just that with a screening of the very funny, very original comedy “Somebody Up There Likes Me” (not to be confused with the boxing film of the same name). This one concerns a young man … well, not always a young man since it covers 35 years of his life … although the character never ages … well, the actor doesn’t … and, well, you’re better off just seeing this one for yourself.
