Saturday at the Maryland Film Festival

Admittedly I’m a little biased, since I’ll be your host for the MFF’s annual 3-D film revival, but you’d be hard-pressed to find a better way to kick off Day 2 than to don a pair of silly-looking glasses and enjoy Vincent Price, Eva Gabor, Patrick O’Neal and even Baltimore’s own Conrad Brooks in 1954’s The Mad Magician (11 a.m.). Price plays the title fiend, a master illusionist who feels he has been wronged by his former employer and vows revenge. Expect lots of things thrown at the audience.

David Boreanaz, looking to prove there’s life after seven years as a TV vampire named Angel, plays a married man being seduced by three teenage girls in a dark comedy called These Girls (1 p.m.). Then again, if you’ve had your fill of frothy fiction, check out Patty Kim and Chris Sheridan’s Abduction: The Megumi Yokota Story (12:30 p.m., Brown Center), the story of a 13-year-old Japanese girl kidnapped by North Korean soldiers, and the parents who spent 20 years not knowing what happened to her.

Stanley Kubrick’s rumination on the Vietnam War, 1987’s Full Metal Jacket (4 p.m.), will feature an introduction from star Matthew Modine, who wrote about his experiences making the film in his 2005 book, Full Metal Jacket Diary. The film stars Modine as a Marine private; we first see him enduring basic training under the sadistic Sgt. Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), then covering the war as a correspondent for Stars & Stripes.

Grab a quick dinner after Full Metal Jacket (maybe at next door’s Tapas Teatro, provided you’re lucky enough to get a table), then settle in for Matthew Porterfield’s contemplative drama Hamilton (7:30 p.m.), two days in the life of a young unmarried couple growing up (and few things make you grow up faster than having a kid) in Northeast Baltimore.

End your day with what sounds like a confusing good time with Todd Rohal’s The Guatemalan Handshake (9:30 p.m.) in which a demolition-derby driver vanishes in the aftermath of a South American power outage. Among those who have to deal with this are his pregnant girlfriend, a pack of wild Boy Scouts and a 10-year-old girl named Turkeylegs. Anyone familiar with Rohal’s earlier MFF offering, a short titled Knuckleface Jones (which starred a then-unknown Piper Perabo), knows to expect the off-kilter
