Help for the Holidays + Flicks Candy

November 21, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

As a gesture of thanks to the community that has sustained us for seventy-five years, Laemmle Theatres is pleased to announce HELP FOR THE HOLIDAYS.  We have matched each of our theatres with a specific local charitable organization.  The funds raised from the sale of Flicks candy at each theatre during this holiday season will be passed on to the following worthy organizations:

Every time someone purchases a Flicks Candy for $2.50, Laemmle Theatres will donate $1.00 to charity. We also have special combinations:

1) small popcorn, small fountain drink + Flicks for $8.25 ($1 Off for Patron & $2 going to charity)

2) medium popcorn, medium fountain drink + Flicks for $9.00 ($1.50 Off for Patron & $2.50 going to charity)

3) large popcorn, large fountain drink + Flicks for $9.75 ($2 off for Patron & $3 going to Charity)

Claremont – HOUSE OF RUTH

Monica – OCEAN PARK COMMUNITY CENTER

NoHo – L.A. FAMILY HOUSING

Playhouse – UNION STATION HOMELESS SERVICES

Music Hall and Royal – WESTSIDE FOOD BANK

Town Center – SOVA

We don’t normally sell Flicks, but it is a delicious, old-timey candy first introduced in 1904. Try it! We’ll only be selling it through the holidays.

N.Y. Times: “Dickens’s Unknown Character: Himself – Ralph Fiennes on ‘The Invisible Woman,’ a Dickensian Tale”

November 5, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

The New York Times just published Terrence Rafferty’s piece about Ralph Fiennes’ new film about Charles Dickens, THE INVISIBLE WOMAN. He directs and stars as the great novelist and, as it happens, plays Magwitch in a new production of GREAT EXPECTATIONS, which we’ll open in multiple theaters this month. We’re also excited to open THE INVISIBLE WOMAN on Christmas Day.

NPR: “‘Capital’ Thrills In A Global Game Of Thrones”

October 30, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

NPR just gave CAPITAL a great review. Ella Taylor writes “Costa-Gavras’ film excels as a meticulously researched procedural that goes deep into the grime of greed, deception and cynical exploitation. But it is also a wickedly clever character analysis of a man more divided against himself than his preternatural calm suggests.”

STAFF PICK – “Blood Brother”

October 26, 2013 by Lamb Laemmle Leave a Comment

Blood Brother is a breathtaking film packed with humanity.  It chronicles the life of ROCKY BRAAT, a young American who, on a trip to India, finds himself volunteering at a group home for kids with HIV. With Rocky and the irrepressible children, it’s love at first sight and their lives soon become intertwined.

Fortunately for Rocky and film audiences, his good friend STEVE HOOVER just happens to be a gifted filmmaker. Skeptical at first, Hoover is persuaded to travel to India and document Rocky’s exploits.  The result is a powerful and eloquent depiction of the situation at the group home, illuminating Rocky, the plight of the kids, village life in India, and the nature of love, amongst other things.

There’s scarcely a need to go into further detail about Blood Brother.  Yes, it’s well-made, even unexpectedly stylized at certain points.  But more than that it’s a transformative experience.  Brilliantly, it compels us to watch things that are very hard to watch, yet does so with such love and tenderness that we never feel the need to turn our heads.  Buoyed by Rocky’s courage, we feel that we too can look into the heart of suffering and face it with newfound resolve and compassion.

In a Q&A session at the Royal, Hoover related that all ticket revenue from Blood Brother will be donated to a non-profit recently founded to support Rocky’s work. If that’s not enough you can also donate directly HERE.

For Laemmle audiences Blood Brother is yet another example of film transcending entertainment, commerce, and one might argue, even art.  It’s a must see.

– Marc H.
