FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JUNE 2020 37 We show films you generally won't find at the Cineplex: documentaries, foreign language films, indie films and any other smaller, well-reviewed films that don't get wide distribution. PLEASE NOTE: Both of the movies below have been rescheduled from previous dates due to the coronavirus. If our facilities reopen and either of these movies is screened in May, there will be a replacement in June. Our first monthly screening, on Sunday, June 14 at 6 pm, is the film Pavarotti (UK 2019, 1 hr. 54 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "A look at the life and work of opera legend, Luciano Pavarotti." Our second monthly screening, on Sunday, June 28 at 6 pm, is the film Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivens (USA 2019, 1 hr. 33 min., English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "Raise Hell: The Life and Times of Molly Ivins tells the story of media firebrand Molly Ivins, six feet of Texas trouble who took on the Good Old Boy corruption wherever she found it. Her razor sharp wit left both sides of the aisle laughing, and craving ink in her columns. She knew the Bill of Rights was in peril, and said, 'Polarizing people is a good way to win an election and a good way to wreck a country.' Molly's words have proved prescient. Now it's up to us to raise hell." All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have you join us. The Lodge Theater has very limited seating, so if you're interested in our screenings, come early; we hope to see you there. Please note that all films announced are subject to availability. If you have any questions about the Counter Culture Cinema Club or want to recommend a film, please email Micki Rosen at michelesrosen@gmail.com. ~ Micki Rosen Counter Culture cinema club Just in case: Check with your club contact to confirm meeting place, date, and time. Classic Film Group The Tuesday Night Classic Film Group event on June 9 in The Lodge Theater looks like it will finally happen. Fingers crossed we can gather and watch the movie that influenced Syfy, Director Stanley Kubrick's 2001: A Space Odyssey. Just in case, keep checking the Daily Report for updates. See you at the movies. The Ultimate Trip: Storyline "2001" is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon's surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between the computer (HAL) and a human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be. The immediate reaction is that it was intentionally buried. When the point of origin is confirmed as Jupiter, an expedition is sent in hopes of finding the source. When Dr. David Bowman finds faults in the expeditionary spacecraft's communications system, he discovers more than he ever wanted to know. HAL, the ship's computer, 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. Classical Music Club We are classical music lovers with an interest in sharing our love, knowledge, and interest in classical music. We meet on the second Thursday of each month at 7 pm in The Lodge Theater. We listen to and watch musical selections on the big screen. Each month we focus on a particular work or several selections of one composer. We also discuss current musical performances in the area. We welcome new members.
