*One Show Only!* Saturday, July 25 @ 12:00 p.m.
(PG-13) (2003) 2 hr. 5 min.

From the imagination of director Tim Burton comes an adventure as big as life itself.

From his global adventures as a young man (played with ineffable charm by Ewan McGregor), through a multitude of exploits into his later years (played with quiet dignity by Albert Finney), we meet a colorful cast of characters whose relationship to reality is less than certain. Starring whimsical performances by Jessica Lange, Helena Bonham Carter, Steve Buscemi, and Danny DeVito, to name a few.

The Rock Radio Presents:
THE BLUES BROTHERS
*One Show Only!* Monday, July 20 @ 5:30 p.m.
(R) (1980) 2 hr. 13 min.

The Rock Radio is back in the building, and this time they are on a mission from God. John Belushi and Dan Ackroyd made music and film history with a hilarious movie spin-off of their iconic SNL comedy sketch, as two Brothers, last name Blues, who don’t have much on their minds beyond rocking in style, getting the band back together, blasting through polite society, and letting the good times roll. Chased by cops, n***s, fine diners, murderous ex-girlfriends, and accompanied musically by epic performances from James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Ray Charles, Cab Calloway, and more, this movie has insane stunts, serious tunes, and hard-hitting dance power!

THE GRADUATE
*One Show Only!* Monday, June 29 @ 5:30 p.m.
(PG) (1967) 1 hr. 46 min.

Questionable manners, questionable morals, and unquestionably one of the defining greats of American 60s cinema. Dustin Hoffman’s perfectly stunted and endearingly awkward Benjamin Braddock is the unlikely lothario who finds himself embroiled in a triangle of lust and love with the beautiful Robinson women, a mother-daughter duo played unforgettably by Anne Bancroft and Katharine Ross. This pressure cooker passion play is a darkly funny, deeply thoughtful, and expertly crafted meditation on life, love, and alienation in the modern world.
