Happy Fourth of July,
Beach days, picnics, parades, and fireworks frame most Fourth of July celebrations. I hope yours sparkled. We are now on our summer schedule, open 7 nights a week with only one screening at 7:30PM. Although we are planning some occasional 4PM shows on Sundays, for those that like an early show, dinner option.
Earlier in June, we asked Film Center patrons/members to nominate classic Sci-fi movies they’d love to see on our big screen and then had you vote!
The winner is… 2001 A SPACE ODYSSEY -- this re-mastered Kubrick gem is going to look and sound amazing on our Film Center screen, tonight.
Scroll down for all of the details.
NEW THIS WEEK...
AUDIENCE CHOICE WINNER: 2001 SPACE ODYSSEY (1968) — An imposing black structure provides a connection between the past and the future in this enigmatic adaptation of a short story by revered sci-fi author Arthur C. Clarke. When Dr. Dave Bowman (Keir Dullea) and other astronauts are sent on a mysterious mission, their ship’s computer system, HAL, begins to display increasingly strange behavior, leading up to a tense showdown between man and machine that results in a mind-bending trek through space and time.

The Father/Son Comedy Team of Marty & Charlie Nadler are back with an all new show! “THE FAMILY BUSINESS” delves into The Nadler’s family history in the comedy, entertainment and writing business!

His credits include “Happy Days”, “Laverne & Shirley”, “The Odd Couple”, and “Chico and the Man”. Also an actor, he has appeared in such films as “Pretty Woman” and “Runaway Bride”.
KEVIN FLYNN: FEAR OF HEIGHTS — funny and moving one-man show about an Irish-American kid’s phobias, family life, and the meaning of success. Kevin Flynn is an award winning actor, writer, producer, host, and comedian. Kevin can be seen in “The Heartbreak Kid” with Ben Stiller; in “Me, Myself and Irene” with Jim Carrey; in “Osmosis Jones” with Bill Murray; and as Charlotte’s Boyfriend in HBO’s “Sex and the City”. In “Fear Of Heights” Kevin Flynn examines the American experience through the lens of his Irish immigrant family. Flynn’s father and grandfather were both steelworkers, which inspired the title of the show. The show explores themes such as what it means to be a man and how one generation measures success relative to their forebears.
