CITIZENFOUR and FORCE MAJEURE: Two of 2014’s Best, at the Royal this Weekend
We are very pleased to be screening CITIZENFOUR and FORCE MAJEURE beginning December 24 at the Royal, returning them to regular release. These films, one a jaw-dropping American documentary about Edward Snowden, the other a Swedish black comedy/psychodrama, are among the year’s best. Both have been bounced around in theatres due to a crowded fall calendar. If you haven’t seen them, or know someone who hasn’t seen them, please be sure to send them to the Royal over the holidays.
Fiddler Sing-Along Hosts Announced for Next Week!
This coming Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) we will celebrate the 50th Anniversary of the Broadway production with our 7th Annual Fiddler On the Roof Sing-Along!
Join us (at any of our venues) for our traditional, yet non-traditional Christmas Eve experience as we sing along with Tevye and the shtetl to iconic favorites like “Tradition”, “If I Were a Rich Man”, “Matchmaker”, “To Life”, “Sunrise Sunset” and many others.
GET TICKETS to the event before it sells out!
In addition to movie and song, the audience will be regaled with Fiddler history and trivia, with prizes being awarded to Fiddler buffs with the quickest recall. In this “anything goes” event, attendees are encouraged to come dressed up as their favorite characters. Who knows, perhaps the host will award prizes for best costume as well!
Speaking of the host, each location will feature an emcee that will lend their distinctive personality to the proceedings. Here’s the rundown:
– NoHo 7 will be hosted by our very own GREG LAEMMLE, originator of the Fiddler Sing-Along tradition!
FOOD ALERT: The Deli Doctor food truck will be outside the NoHo 7 to satisfy all your cravings!
– The Royal will be hosted by award-winning arts journalist and author BARBARA ISENBERG. Barbara’s most recent book (just released by St. Martin’s Press) happens to be Tradition!
BOOK ALERT: Barbara will be signing copies of TRADITION! at the Royal, where they will also be for sale. Plus, we will be giving away a signed copy of the book at each of the locations as a Trivia Prize.
– Town Center audiences will laugh along with comedian and cantor KENNY ELLIS from Temple Beth Ami in Santa Clarita. Kenny has performed around the globe and can also be caught locally at the Laugh Factory in Hollywood.
– The Playhouse will be treated to the incomparable DEBRA LEVINE, a journalist and publisher of the popular cultural blog, “arts•meme“. With a special interest in dance and choreography, Debra offers unique insight into the staging of both the film and musical.
FOOD ALERT: Asian food truck RICE BALLS OF FIRE will be joining us at the Playhouse!
– Claremont 5 attendees will enjoy the 2nd straight appearance of PAUL BUCH, cantor Temple Beth Israel in Pomona. Cantor Buch draws on a 25 year TV and film career to provide a uniquely entertaining evening.
– Music Hall will feature dynamic husband and wife duo of Doug Petrie and Alexa Junge. Doug and Alexa come to us from the congregation of IKAR, a community well-respected (among other things) for knowing how to throw a good party!
In sum, those looking for an alternative Christmas Eve experience need look no further. “This is your once-a-year chance to be the star of the shtetl,” observes Greg Laemmle. “Join voices with friends and neighbors and sing your heart out alongside Fiddler’s screen legends,” he continues. “And it’s okay if you haven’t memorized all the songs. We provide the lyrics.”
As in years past, Fiddler on the Roof Sing-Along takes place at all Laemmle locations on Christmas Eve (Dec. 24) starting at 7:30pm. Reserve your tickets now before it’s too late!

WE ARE THE GIANT Q&A at the Music Hall Tonight
WE ARE THE GIANT transports viewers to the front lines of the Arab Spring through the courageous stories of six extraordinary people grappling with the dilemma at the heart of all struggles for justice and freedom: whether to take up arms and fight, or to advocate change through peace and non-violence.
WE ARE THE GIANT director Greg Barker will participate in a Q&A moderated by Los Angeles World Affairs Council president and former foreign correspondent Terry McCarthy after the 7:20 PM screening tonight at the Music Hall.
Danny Glover and Filmmakers at the Music Hall for CONCERNING VIOLENCE Q&A’s
From the director of The Black Power Mixtape, CONCERNING VIOLENCE is a bold and fresh visual narrative on Africa, based on newly discovered archive material covering the struggle for liberation from colonial rule in the late ’60s and ’70s, accompanied by text from Frantz Fanon’s The Wretched of the Earth.
CONCERNING VIOLENCE co-producer Danny Glover will participate in a Q&A after the 7:20 PM screening at the Music Hall on Friday, December 12. Robin Kelly, the Gary B. Nash Professor of American History of UCLA, will moderate. Professor Kelley’s most recent book, Africa Speaks, America Answers: Modern Jazz in Revolutionary Times, explores the relationship between jazz and Africa in the era of decolonization and Civil Rights.
See the Films on the Oscar Documentary Shortlist at Laemmle and Online
The 87th Academy Awards nominations will be announced January 15th but Oscar completionists can get a head start on the Documentary Features category thanks to the Academy’s 15-film shortlist and Laemmle Theaters.
The Academy’s Documentary Branch narrowed the field to 15 from 134 submissions. While we’ve already screened many films, some are still in theaters, and five will play as morning shows over the next few weeks. By the time nominations are announced, every film on the shortlist will have played at one or more of our theaters… for those keeping track! For those not located near our theatres, thankfully, a few streaming sites are showing some of these films. However, there are usually different location restrictions on some of these sites, such as Netflix. Of course, one of the most common ways to watch films that are restricted is by purchasing a VPN. Some are better than others, but there are reviewing websites online allowing users to read more about some of the best VPNs out there. That being said, alongside using a VPN, you can also use a proxy server to access geographically restricted content. For more information about using a proxy to access websites such as The Pirate Bay that feature films and TV shows, check out the Avoid Censorship website. Did you also know that you can use a VPN to enjoy TV shows and movies using Kodi? For more information about some of the most popular VPNs for Kodi users, head to the makeawebsitehub website. Anyone located near our theatres can keep reading to see if they’ll be able to come and watch these Academy Award nominees.
