*MONDAY NIGHT DISCUSSION!
Join us after the movie THIS MONDAY NIGHT, May 31, for an informal audience discussion of "THE SAME RIVER TWICE" with this week's guest, independent film and video artist CAROLYN SPERANZA!

     ONE WEEK ONLY!  In 1978, on a breath-taking trip in the Grand Canyon, filmmaker Robb Moss and a group of free-spirited friends and lovers took a month-long trip down the Colorado River. Cutting between footage of their youthful, often naked, unscheduled lives and the complex realities of their adulthood today, the film creates a compelling portrait of cultural metamorphosis. From running rapids to running for mayor, "THE SAME RIVER TWICE" is a story of change, choices, and of finding one's place in the world.

"SHAOLIN SOCCER"
OPENS JUNE 4 - EXCLUSIVE!
(www.shaolinsoccer.com)

     In the wicked game of "SHAOLIN SOCCER," players will stop at nothing to score a laugh - it fuses ancient martial arts with hard-hitting physical comedy and the high-flying energy of competitive sports!  When a retired professional soccer player and a Shaolin martial arts master combine their talents, they set out to form a team comprised of down-and-out former classmates who each realizes a special power adding to the team's limitless potential: One has a head of iron, another bears stomach muscles able to propel the ball at warp speed, a third weighs 300 pounds but possesses the ability to walk on air, and finally the goalie who can stop any shot (well, ALMOST any shot)!  With eye-popping action, crazy special effects and wicked humor, "SHAOLIN SOCCER" is the wild Hong Kong box office smash that is now out to dazzle America!
