Ah, fall is in the air. After weeks of brutal heat, it’s time to . . . stay inside and watch movies during the 9th annual Sidewalk Moving Picture Festival. The festival kicks off Friday, Sept. 28, with a screening of “The Ten,” a comedy loosely based on the Ten Commandments starring a bunch of big names including Winona Ryder, Adam Brody, Jessica Alba. Saturday and Sunday you can get your fill of features, shorts, documentaries, animation — there’s something for everyone. Read all about the 2007 film lineup here. It’s not just all movies though.
