After a sold out screening of their hit film: ANVIL! THE STORY OF ANVIL in June, the film and the band return to the Village East Cinema for one night. On Saturday, August 1, Anvil will appear live and in person following the 10:30pm showing of the film Entertainment Weekly calls “…the real thing, the real story of rock’n'roll”.
A WOMAN IN BERLIN, now playing at the Angelika in New York and set for October 2nd in Dallas, Plano and Houston, was recently featured on NPR as “…bringing new attention to an issue long considered a taboo in German society…” . A New York Times Critics’ Pick, A WOMAN IN BERLIN stars Award Winner Nina Hoss (YELLA) in this account of life in 1945 during the Red Army invasion of Berlin, based on the formerly anonymous writings of journalist and photographer Marta Hillers.
As detailed in NPR’s piece, the film, in conjunction with a university study on German rape victims, gives a long belated voice to the 2 million women who’ve held their silence for over 50 years. A timely examination of sexual violence and war, A WOMAN IN BERLIN is a “…sprawling, difficult, powerful film” (New York Times).
Starting August 16th at 9:00pm, the Angelika Film Center in Dallas will host free MAD MEN watch parties every Sunday night! This Golden Globe, Emmy and BAFTA TV Award-winning series from AMC follows the men and women of the Madison Avenue advertising era.

Advance Tickets & More Information
With an unprecedented number of publicity stunts, photo shoots, press reactions and close to 100,000 RSVPs on Facebook to “vatch mein Movie”, BRÜNO, in a variety of unusual outfits, takes the country by storm today. The incredibly provocotive and controversial film opened with a midnight show this morning at the Village East Cinema (the Angelika’s sister theater). Sacha Baron Cohen/Brüno appearances are rumored around NYC theaters today and advance tickets are available for tonight’s shows here.
The film has been both embraced and criticized by the gay community, called by some a timely dissection of homophobia, by others a reinforcement of stereotypes. Love it or hate it, BRÜNO, sparking controversy and debate in all his spandex glory, is a must see for 2009.
