FOUR SEASONS BREEZE | JULY 2016 37 Counter Culture Cinema It's that time of year – the big summer blockbusters are hitting the theaters. If you ever wished there were movie theaters closer to the Four Seasons that played smaller films, check out our Cinema Club which screens these films twice each month. Our first monthly screening, on Sunday., July 10 at 6 pm, is the film Defending Your Life (USA 1991, 112 minutes, English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "Yuppie Daniel Miller is killed in a car accident and goes to Judgment City, a waiting room for the afterlife. During the day, he must prove in a courtroom-style process that he successfully overcame his fears (a hard task, given the pitiful life we are shown). At night, he falls in love with Julia, the only other young person in town. Nights are a time of hedonistic pleasure, since you can (for instance) eat all you want without getting fat." Our second monthly screening, on Sunday., July 24 at 6 pm, is the film, The Outrageous Sophie Tucker (USA 2014, 96 minutes, English). Here is a brief description from IMDb.com: "A documentary focusing on the tumultuous early days of this iconic vaudeville superstar who ruled the 1920s Flapper Era in the U.S. Before Mae West, Marilyn Monroe, Bette Midler, Madonna and Lady Gaga, Tucker was the first woman to infatuate her audiences with a bold, bawdy and brassy style unlike any other previous performer. Using all of The Last of the Red Hot Mama's 400+ recently rediscovered personal scrapbooks, authors Susan and Lloyd Ecker take you on their seven year journey retracing Tucker's 60-year show business career." All of our screenings are followed by lively discussion about the film; we'd love to have you join us. The Lodge theatre 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 Happy 4th of July. Can you believe we are in July? This summer is going so fast. I hope you're enjoying it. Lots of events are going on in July at our "resort." I hope you are planning to come and share them with family and friends. Our June meeting was well attended. Mr. and Mrs. Nathan attended and joined that night. Other new members are Louvenia Ortega and George Heines. We are so pleased to have you join our club. Welcome! We held our annual Juneteenth Celebration June 12 at the Summit. I hope you attended. We are planning a fun morning with food, drinks, and games. Everyone in the community was invited to attend. I will give you an update in the next Breeze. We are holding a Christmas gala planning meeting on July 7 for our annual Christmas Gala. If you would like to be a part of this committee please joint us at 11 am at the Summit. As always, we invite you to join and be a part of our club. Our goal is to be a viable part of our community, to make a difference in all of our lives through education — personal and public; develop a deeper sense of community by getting to know each other better; help our members and community; keep our members informed of community plans and ideas; and coming together for events, fun and fellowship. If you would like to be a part of helping us to reach these goals, come and join us. Our next meeting is Monday, July 11, at 6 pm at the Lodge in the Card Room. Hope to see you there! If you would like more information please call Chairperson, Joyce Allen, (951) 769-4354. ~ Roxie Elliott African American Culture Club New club members, Gloria and Robert Nathan
