Feast of Portland Films
Portland's close-up hits the big screens today. "Feast of Love," the Greg Kinnear-Morgan Freeman movie that took over parts of NoPo last summer opens nationwide today.
The film gives the San Francisco Chronicle a new spin on the great migration north...
It's no wonder so many people in the Bay Area are moving to Oregon. According to the new movie "Feast of Love," great housing deals abound in Portland, the fortune-tellers give partial refunds and pretty much everyone gets naked - frequently having sex on the 50-yard line of the local university's football field.
It's not just the "lifestyle" either, according to the paper, "Everyone in 'Feast of Love' looks hot, but no one is more alluring than the city of Portland, which should benefit from rising property rates if this film does any kind of box office."
Oh, and they like the movie, too. Over at Rotten Tomatoes, "Feast of Love" gets generally positive reviews.
"Feast" isn't the only movie with an Oregon tie hitting theaters today. Sean Penn's "Into the Wild" shot some scenes out in Astoria last summer. The New York Times likes this one better than "Feast of Love," so you have your pick of flicks.
The feast of films will continue into the future, too. Next up - Jennifer Aniston's latest, set to begin shooting in Madras.
