Land of the Dead Screening Quiz/Contest
Screening Tuesday, June 21st at 7pm at the UA Pavilions Theater
It has been two decades since master filmmaker George A. Romero's zombies have stalked the screens of motion picture theaters. For years, fans around the world have been eagerly awaiting his return.

And now that day is here.

An all-new chapter of horror is about to begin...

The world (as humankind has known it) is merely a memory. In its place is the never-ending nightmare existence of US - the living - versus THEM - the "walkers." What's left of mankind is cordoned off behind the walls of a fortified city while the walking dead roam the vast wasteland beyond. The few wealthy and powerful try to maintain an illusion of life as it was, dwelling high above the city in the exclusive towers of Fiddler's Green, the last bastion of the ruling class. On the streets below, however, the remaining, less fortunate of the city's inhabitants eke out a hard-scrabble life, seeking what little solace they can in the vices available - gambling, flesh trade, drugs - anything that offers even a fleeting respite from the hell their lives have become.

This film is rated R. No one under 17 years of age will be admitted. Play for tickets.

My Summer of Love Screening Quiz/Contest
Screening Tuesday, June 14th at 7:30pm at The Chez Artiste (2800 S Colorado Blvd)
My Summer of Love is this summer's most intoxicating and intriguing romance. It's the tale of obsession and deception and the struggle for love and faith in a world where both seem impossible. The passionate, droll, and mysterious drama features striking performances from its two leading actresses, both of whom are movie newcomers.

The film vibrantly charts the emotional and physical hothouse effects that bloom one summer for two young women. Mona, behind her spiky exterior, hides an untapped intelligence and a yearning for something beyond the emptiness of her daily life. Tamson is well-educated, spoiled and cynical. As they are complete opposites, each is wary of the other's differences when they first meet, but this coolness soon melts into mutual fascinations, amusement and attraction.

Adding further volatility is Mona's older brother Phil, who has renounced his criminal past for religious fervor, which he tries to impose upon his sister. Mona, however, is experiencing her own rapture.

This film is rated R. You must be at least 17 years of age to play for tickets.
