A friend of mine writes the Repertory Film column for the Philadelphia Weekly. Most weeks I make a point of checking out what he’s got to say about the random movie happenings around town, and this week there was something in his column that was definitely worth passing on.

There is a free screening of the original “Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory” tonight in Headhouse Square (2nd and Lombard), starting at 8 pm.

I haven’t seen the new version, but you can read what Matt says about it on his blog.
