Hello Everyone!

Movies have been coming and going pretty quickly, and we're keeping that trend this weekend.  If you still need to see the hit PEAKY BLINDERS: THE IMMORTAL MAN or the Oscar-winner MR. NOBODY AGAINST PUTIN, you only have through Thursday to see them with us.  On Thursday night, we open the new Marisa Tomei comedy YOU'RE DATING A NARCISSIST!, and on Friday, we open the documentary many of you have been asking about - Baz Luhrman's EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT. We're going to keep TOW, the new film with Rose Byrne, for one more week.

Next week, we'll clean house in order to open THE DRAMA (starring Zendaya and Robert Pattinson) and FANTASY LIFE (the SXSW award-winning comedy with an all-star cast).

"Open Caption Mondays" are much appreciated by many of our regulars.  On Monday, March 30, our screenings of TOW and EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT will be presented with Open Captions (aka - captions presented on the screen).

Synopsis for YOU'RE DATING A NARCISSIST: "An outspoken psychologist, burnt by love, takes an emergency trip to Los Angeles with her best friend to talk her smitten daughter out of marrying a man she is convinced is a narcissist."

Synopsis for EPIC: ELVIS PRESLEY IN CONCERT: From director Baz Luhrman comes a doc that's truly meant for a big screen and great sound! "Long-lost footage from Elvis Presely's legendary Las Vegas residency in the 1970s woven together with rare 16mm footage from Elvis on Tour, and 8mm from the Graceland archive, plus recordings of Elvis telling "his side of the story" rediscovered during Baz Luhrmann's research for his 2022 film, ELVIS."

SILENTS SYNCED:
A WOMAN OF THE WORLD
SOUNDTRACKED TO
PEARL JAM

TOMORROW! Celebrating its 100th anniversary, A WOMAN OF THE WORLD (1925) follows a liberal European countess, played by Pola Negri, who scandalizes a small, mid-Western American town with her unapologetic independence, sharp wit, and tattooed arm.  This classic, silent film has been paired with Pearl Jam - one of the most influential rock and roll bands, which continues to sell out stadiums. 

Pearl Jam's nonprofit foundation, Vitalogy, will donate earnings from this project to Austin Women's Health, a local provider supporting reproductive care in Silents Synced creator's hometown - a further nod to the project's core themes of activism, female empowerment, and creative courage.

A post-screening discussion will be led by Miranda Brooks, Justice & Inclusion Administrator of Dayton's Human Relations Council.
Tickets are $12.50 each.

"Opposites attract when, during their college days, Katie Morosky (Barbra Streisand), a politically active Jew, meets Hubbell Gardiner (Robert Redford), a feckless WASP. Years later, in the wake of World War II, they meet again and, despite their obvious differences, marry. Hubbell wants to be a screenwriter, so the two move to California...but as the Hollywood blacklist looms, Katie's activism threatens her husband's reputation."
