Cinespia's 2008 season in the Hollywood Forever Cemetery has featured the suspenseful, the awesomely awkward, and the straight-up strange. Tonight's film is no less unique — projected against silent film star Rudolph Valentino's mausoleum, amid marble tombstones and the dark night sky, it might even attract some of Richard Dreyfuss' extraterrestrial friends. While the chance to recline on an old blanket and drink a bottle of wine alone is worth the admission price, getting there early enough to check out Johnny Ramone's guitar-thrashing cenotaph and that of '50s sex symbol Jayne Mansfield is what makes this night at the movies more memorable than a trip to the nearest AMC.
