In one word: WOW!

DON’T LET’S GO TO THE DOGS TONIGHT. A sprawling tale of clashing cultures set in war-torn South Africa in 1980 as told thru the blue-eyed lens of 8 year old Bobo, magnificently portrayed by Lexi Venter. Embeth Davidtz (remember her from Schindler’s List?) Co-Stars and Directs with delicate but powerful aplomb.

IRISH EVENING. Thursday night will knock your argyles to the floor, guaranteed! Traditional Irish folk music, a trivia contest, $150 gift certificate drawing, special wine offerings, the screening of REBEL WIFE at 7, and Q&A with Writer/Director/Producer Williams Cole. All this for $15. No wonder only a few tickets remain. Doors open at 5.

OH, HI!. The trope of the crazed woman (See: Kathy Bates) holding the poor sap hostage is somehow used as a template for mayhem and humor in a modern setting. I might read Of Human Bondage before the view.

ONE FLEW OVER THE CUCKOOS NEST. Winner of the Big Five in 1975. The opening card on our THREE JACKS annual Labor Day Celebration of Film. You will recall last years GODFATHER FEST. The titular Jack literally swept audiences away from Lowell, MA to Salem, OR with his creation of the Ken Kesey character Randall Patrick McMurphy. Louise Fletcher as Big Nurse won best actor along with Jack. Also Best Picture, Director (Milos Foreman) and Screenwriters Bo Goldman and Lawrence Hauben from Kesey’s second-best novel. Go ahead and ask.

KEROAUC’S ROAD: THE BEAT of a NATION. Jack number two. If pressed to choose the one novel that suggested another route might be available in my life’s adventure, it would be On The Road. The peripatetic Kerouac opened more doors to America’s youth of the 60’s than Huxley, Casteneda and Alan Watts combined. He also introduced us to Neal Cassady, the counterculture Jack of all Trades.

EASY RIDER. Jack number three. Nicholson plays juiced-up lawyer George Hanson along with Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper as they swap cars for choppers and ride into the magic and mystery of American Freedom. Because that is what it’s about. Right?

LAUREL CANYON LEGACY. This will top off our pop culture review as LCL pays musical homage to what is collectively regarded as the golden era of Rock ’n Roll, 1965 -1975. Carole King, The Byrds, C,S,N & Y, Mamas & Papas, Linda, Carly and Joni, Beach Boys, Doors and The Eagles. Tix here.

Please consider: If you don’t see the connections to all of the above, you don’t know Jack. 

Peace and love
