The second annual Derby City Film Festival kicks off Friday

Need an event to quench your movie thirst before next month's Oscars? This film festival features what one co-founder describes as "true" independent movies.

 

The Oscars aren't until March 7. And to help hold you movie lovers over until then, head to this weekend's (Feb. 19 to 21) second annual Derby City Film Festival, taking place at the Clifton Center (2117 Payne St.). Prices range from $6 for a single screening to $40 for a three-day pass.

Valentine's Day: The movie women will force men to see this weekend

And afterwards, guys, head to Volare for V-Day specials. (A half-priced bottle of wine makes any bad movie better, right?)

Saw a sneak preview of "Valentine's Day" the other night. Yeah, it's that movie your lady friend is dragging you to this weekend. The cast is packed with so many celebrities that I think the last names in the opening credits hit every letter of the alphabet.

I don't remember any character names, but I can try to give you a one-sentence synopsis.
