(Rated R)(1hrs 57mins) During the London Blitz of World War II, Catrin Cole is recruited by the British Ministry of Information to write scripts for propaganda films that the public will actually watch without scoffing. In the line of her new duties, Cole investigates the story of two young women who supposedly piloted a boat in the Dunkirk Evacuation. Although it proved a complete misapprehension, the story becomes the basis for a fictional film with some possible appeal. As Cole labors to write the script with her new colleagues such as Tom Buckley, veteran actor Ambrose Hilliard must accept that his days as a leading man are over as he joins the project. Together, this disparate trio must struggle against such complications such as sexism against Cole, jealous relatives, and political interference in their artistic decisions even as London endures the bombs of the enemy. In the face of those challenges, they share a hope to contribute something meaningful in this time of war and in their own lives.

One of the most-protested comedies in history is coming to Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse! The protesting groups were, of course, the Romans, who did not at all appreciate their portrayal in this "highly biased" and "unfairly pessimistic" depiction of government-sponsored crucifixion.

If you haven't seen this classic, consider yourself on a mission from God to see it. Come check us out at Arlington Cinema and Drafthouse. Suggested meal pairings: four fried chickens and a Coke, or some dry white toast, nothin' on it.

Director Alejandro Jodorowsky was received with great fanfare after none other than John Lennon and George Harrison lauded his 1970 film El Topo. Lennon was so impressed that he and Yoko put up the production money for Jodorowsky's next film, The Holy Mountain. The result, as you might have anticipated, is wildly surrealistic and follows the journey of a thief as he attempts to turn the excrement that is his life into gold.

Nothing more exciting than having your name appear in a prestigious publication like the phone book just before an oil-can-hating madman almost catches you in the crossfire! Poor black child Navin R. Johnson invites you on his odyssey to the end of the fence and beyond. All you'll need is the remote control, the ashtray, the chair, the paddle-ball game, etc.

It's horror! It's comedy! It's a musical! It's Japanese! Claymation! Martial arts! There's not much that Takashi Miike leaves out of his 2001 film The Happiness of the Katakuris, which has been described as "A delirious splatter-musical that imagines what might have happened if the Von Trapp family had wandered into Dawn of the Dead." (Mike D'Angelo, Time Out New York)

A master of reinvention, Kilmer transforms himself into the "First American," Mark Twain, in a comedic and moving performance that is both contemporary and reflective. The piece is based on the life of the man, Samuel Clemens, and of course his writings as Mark Twain. From his thoughts on politics (including his famous disdain for the U.S. Congress), to his family and ultimately his faith and God, Twain spins a series of yarns with his timeless satire and incomparable wit. Mr. Kilmer will introduce the 90-minute film and conduct a question and answer period with the audience following the screening. VIP ticket holders will have an opportunity to meet Val, chat, and take photos after the Q&A.

| --- Sketch & Improv Classes --- |
Sketch Comedy has been the cornerstone for comedy creativity for many years, including Late Night talk shows, SNL, Monty Python, MadTV, and more. Join us for our Level 1 Sketch Writing course with veteran Stephen Hale. Students will get stage time to perform their material in front of a live audience at Drafthouse Comedy in DC and/or the Arlington Cinema & Drafthouse. Additionally, willing students can form in house troops and perform along national headliners as they continue to develop their skills. Time to get your creative comic juices flowing. This course in an introduction to sketch comedy, writing short comedic scenes, rehearsing and working towards building a show that the students will perform in. Each week students will explore different sketch formats and be asked, each week, to bring in a new sketch based on a specific format. The goal of Drafthouse Comedy Level 1 Sketch Writing is to push students to not be afraid to fail in their writing, make big choices and take risks. Finding your own voice through the guidance and support of your teacher is what we strive to have you achieve. The course will run for 8 total weeks. 5 weeks of writing, discussing and collaborating on new material. 2 weeks of rehearsing and exploring chosen sketches for the show and the final show, which will be held on the last day (8th week) of class. No prior sketch writing experience is necessary - the only requirement for this class is a desire to write, perform and learn. Students should be prepared to work outside of class, writing new sketches, for the first 5 weeks of class. Class Size: Max of 10 Students. Tuesday 7pm - 9:30pm (Aug 29, Sept 5, 12, 19, 26, Oct 3, 10, 17) For more information please contact Stephen Hale: sdbhale@gmail.com |
