OPENING TODAY!
DOPE
Malcolm is carefully surviving life in a tough neighborhood in Los Angeles while juggling college applications, academic interviews, and the SAT. A chance invitation to an underground party leads him into an adventure that could allow him to go from being a geek, to being dope, to ultimately being himself.A critical hit and audience favorite out of the Sundance Film Festival, High-school senior Malcolm and his friends Jib and Diggy bond over '90s hip-hop culture, their studies and playing music in their own punk band. A chance encounter with a drug dealer named Dom lands Malcolm and company at the dealer's nightclub birthday party; when the scene turns violent, they flee - with the Ecstasy that Dom secretly hid in Malcolm's backpack. A wild adventure ensues as the gang tries to evade armed thugs who want the stash.
Writer/director Rick Famuyiwa delivers an energetic, super-fresh, modern-day coming-of-age story that is a delightful mash-up of DIY punk, Yo! MTV Raps, YouTube, and Neil deGrasse Tyson. Intelligent and full of heart, Dope is an up-to-date inspirational tale of the journey to maintain a grasp on one's own authentic self amidst surreal circumstances. Also starring Blake Anderson, Zoë Kravitz &A$AP Rocky.

MONTY PYTHON
AND THE HOLY GRAIL
40th Anniversary Screening!
From its opening multi-language titles (that sure looks like Swedish) to the closing arrest of the entire Dark Ages cast by modern-day police, Monty Python and the Holy Grail helped to define "irreverence" and became an instant cult classic. This time the Pythonites savage the legend of King Arthur, juxtaposing some excellently selected exterior locations with an unending stream of anachronistic one-liners, non sequiturs, and slapstick set pieces. The Knights of the Round Table set off in search of the Holy Grail on foot, as their lackeys make clippety-clop sounds with coconut shells. A plague-ridden community, ringing with the cry of "bring out your dead," offers its hale and hearty citizens to the body piles. A wedding of convenience is attacked by Arthur's minions while the pasty-faced groom continually attempts to burst into song. The good guys are nearly thwarted by the dreaded, tree-shaped "Knights Who Say Ni!" A feisty enemy warrior, bloodily shorn of his arms and legs in the thick of battle, threatens to bite off his opponent's kneecap. A French military officer shouts such taunts as "I fart in your general direction" and "I wave my private parts at your aunties." Rabbits are a particular obsession of the writers this time around, ranging from the huge Trojan Rabbit to the "killer bunny" that decapitates one of the knights. This is comedy gold from start to finish and it remains as hilarious and irreverent four decades later.

LOVE & MERCY
LOVE & MERCY presents an unconventional portrait of Brian Wilson, the mercurial singer, songwriter and leader of The Beach Boys. Set against the era defining catalog of Wilson's music, the film intimately examines the personal voyage of the icon whose success came at extraordinary personal cost.
Few musical acts are as widely beloved as the Beach Boys. Under the visionary leadership of singer-songwriter Brian Wilson, the California surf combo redefined the sound of American popular music in the 1960s. But their joyful harmonies concealed Wilson's private struggle with addiction and mental illness, and by the early seventies he had descended into drug-fueled isolation. LOVE & MERCY is an intimate rendering of Wilson's mercurial genius, illustrating both his musical mastery and the psychological pain it disguised.
As the younger Wilson,Paul Dano gives a superb performance that conveys the artist's prodigious gifts as well as his increasingly precarious mental state. John Cusack is equally compelling, burrowing into himself as Dano's middle-aged counterpart. From the dark side of his creativity to the love that helped him heal, LOVE & MERCY gives us a rare understanding of the music and the mind of a twentieth-century icon.
