All you cinephiles out there, this is the last call for this year’s Hotel deLuxe Sunday night movie series. The final installment for 2007 will be shown on Nov. 18. Titled Inside Iraq: The Untold Stories, it follows Portlander Mike Shiley on his tour in Iraq not regularly seen in the media.

Incredibly, Shiley is not a journalist, or even really a filmmaker. He actually made a fake press pass at Kinko’s, got himself to Iraq, was embedded with an army tank gunner and then worked a deal with ABC News. He even ended up winning a combat medal! I might have opted for a beach on Bora Bora, but there you have it…

It’s been a great series and thanks to everyone who’s come. Hotel deLuxe will resume screenings after the holidays, so check back. In the meantime, come out on the 18th. And remember to call ahead (503.219.2093) to get a seat.

See you there,
Emily
