Attention Sondheim Fans: Documentary THE BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED Opens 11/25 at Royal + a Revival of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG at the Wallis 11/23 – 12/18.

October 19, 2016 by Lamb L.

One of the truly legendary musicals in the history of Broadway, MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG opened to enormous fanfare in 1981, and closed after sixteen performances. For the first time, BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED draws back the curtain on the extraordinary drama of the show’s creation – and tells the stories of the hopeful young performers whose lives were transformed by it. Directed by Lonny Price, a member of the original cast, the film is a bittersweet meditation on the choices we all make, and the often unexpected consequences of those choices — through success and failure. Featuring exclusive appearances by Stephen Sondheim, Hal Prince, Jason Alexander, Mandy Patinkin, Adam Guettel, Frank Rich and the original Broadway cast of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG. Reviewing BEST WORST THING THAT EVER COULD HAVE HAPPENED in Indiewire, Jude Dry described the film as “more than a story about a Broadway show; its most poignant moments examine the thrill of dreams coming true, and the inevitable come down afterwards.” We open the film at the Royal on November 25.

What’s more, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills will be presenting a new stage production of MERRILY WE ROLL ALONG between November 23 and December 18! Wallis has provided Laemmle patrons with a promo code that will give 25% off tickets for this production. The code is CINEMA.

Scary Movies! See THE OMEN, CARRIE, THE WOLF MAN and More on the Big Screen.

October 12, 2016 by Lamb L.

Some might feel this election season is scary enough, but horror movie fans know that the thrill of filmic frights is a special cinematic pleasure.

First up is THE OMEN with director Richard Donner in person for a Q&A at the Fine Arts on October 18. When his child is stillborn, an American diplomat (Academy Award® Winner Gregory Peck*) is convinced to exchange the dead baby for a living one, in order to spare his wife’s feelings. But as the child grows, a series of gruesome “accidental” murders begins to occur, and the horrifying identity of the child becomes clear in this timeless, bone-chilling thriller set to Jerry Goldsmith’s Oscar®-Winning Original Score.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWnrwiMALAA&feature=youtu.be

Three days later on October 21, the Fine Arts stays scary with the Japanese thriller CREEPY. After a traumatic incident, criminal psychologist and former police detective Takakura (Hidetoshi NISHIJIMA) moves to a new neighborhood with his wife Yasuko (Yuko TAKEUCHI) to make a fresh start. Upon meeting their new neighbors, the Nishinos, Takakura senses something odd about them. Then he is approached by the Nishinos’ daughter, whose shocking whispered confession shatters the serenity of his new life.

On Halloween at the Monica Film Center, NoHo and Playhouse we’ve got a werewolf double feature for you: THE WOLF MAN and THE WOLF MAN MEETS FRANKENSTEIN.

Finally, the day after the election on November 8 (remember to vote!), spend November 9 with Brian De Palma, Stephen King and Sissy Spacek and watch the classic, cathartic CARRIE at the Fine Arts.

HATE RISING’s Jorge Ramos and Director Catherine Tambini at the Fine Arts for Q&A’s.

October 12, 2016 by Lamb L.

This timely documentary was inspired by the incident in which journalist Jorge Ramos was ejected from a Donald Trump press conference and told by the presidential candidate to “go back to Univision.” The Mexican-born Ramos examines how hate is contagious and sits down with the white nationalists who are emboldened by the Trump campaign. An intimate portrait of our country emerges offering firsthand accounts of Americans who have been targets of hate in various parts of the country and highlights the simmering anger just beneath the surface.
Jorge Ramos will attend the 5:40PM show at the Fine Arts on Sunday, October 16 for a Q&A. HATE RISING director Catherine Tambini will be at the 7:30 PM show on Friday and Saturday for Q&A’s.
