This week @thelittletheatre.bsky.social FAMILY FLICKS series presents THE PRINCE OF EGYPT Sun, April 13 at 11:30am & Mon, April 14 at 7pm.

Featuring gorgeous animation, an all-star voice cast including Val Kilmer & Ralph Fiennes, with songs by Stephen Schwartz (Wicked), and score by Hans Zimmer!

Crowd of people for a peaceful protest at Cobb’s Hill Park. Signs, flags, and lots of cheers.

“Hands Off” protest at Cobb’s Hill Park. Helluva turnout!

Film posters for “The Friend” (Naomi Watts and Bill Murray look concerned while a Great Dane looms in the foreground); “Eephus” (the title is in a waving pennant, and baseball players in circles dot the poster, designed to look like a baseball card); “The Annihilation of Fish” shows a soft, rain-and-foggy park with Lynn Redgrave and James Earl Jones holding umbrellas.

A desktop, scattered with office files, envelopes, and mismatched papers; case files, sunglasses, paper clips, as well as photographs, poker chips, and a blueprint of the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The text reads: “A Brockobros presentation of a Saturday Soderbergh Spectacular. Saturday, April 5, 2025. Erin Brockovich at 4:30pm, 25th Anniversary. Ocean’s Eleven at 8:00pm, screening on 35mm film. Tickets at thelittle.org.”

Posters for 3 films: “Ultimate Citizens” depicts a man holding a frisbee, and some young students watching him, all in bright colors meant to show energy; “An American in Paris” some hand painted typography of the title on a red, white, and blue French flag, with Gene Kelly, arms outstretched and dancing; “TEKKONKINKREET” is a hand-drawn illustration that shows two boys excitedly flying across a blue sky, while the busy city is laid out below them.

We have a helluva wknd of films coming up @ @thelittletheatre.bsky.social! Indie baseball drama; Naomi/Bill/GreatDane; a lost Charles Burnett! Erin Brockovich 25th; Ocean’s Eleven 35mm; Ultimate Frisbee indie doc (w/ GRADA & director Q&A); classic Gershwin/Kelly (w/ JCC); cool Japan anime! WOW! #ROC

“No Other Land” won Doc Feature! “Flow” won Animated Feature! WitPal & Anomaly picking great independent films that really resonated and were influential this year! Hell yeah local film fests bringing great stuff to #ROC!

As another bonus #Oscars    illustration I had to give recognition to the beautiful film '#Flow' by @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. This one stood out for its unique approach to storytelling using only animals with no dialogue.

Best Animated Feature Nominee 2025: Flow

I love them 😍😍😍

It’s about love, loss, reincarnation & relationships, with a STUNNING Alexandre Desplat score that’s the musical personification of winter in all its many forms, beautiful & ominous. Controversial upon its release, but respected even more now, come check it out — plus it’s “Birth” on my BIRTHday! 😉

UK Quad poster for Jonathan Glazer’s film “Birth.” Nicole Kidman’s face — questioning, concerned — looms large over a winter scene of trees with bare branches behind her. Pull-quotes include “Fantastic”, “Sleek and intelligent, four stars” and “A must-see.”

Jonathan Glazer’s (Under the Skin, The Zone of Interest) uncomfortable, dreamy “Birth” starring Nicole Kidman is screening TONIGHT (Wed 2/19) on 35mm film at @thelittletheatre.bsky.social as part of our “Winter Wednesdays” series. Tix & details at: thelittle.org/birth/ (con’t)

Got her start elsewhere 😅

Sanctuary (2022) Confined to a claustrophobic hotel room, the heir to a hotel empire and the dominatrix who has primed him for success become locked in a battle of wits and wills as he tries to end his relationship wi...

I hiiighly recommend the film “Sanctuary” which she started in AND produced. She’s just ELECTRIC in it, and Christopher Abbott is always a good time. boxd.it/wPKW

One of the comments said something about best effort to outcome ratio and I completely agree! 😅 Welp… now I know what I need to make this week, haha…

Ooooh the version of this I have from the NYT Cooking section is in regular rotation! We love it!

Inside Petit Poutinerie - a brightly-colored, brightly-lit restaurant room with lots of people sitting at counters and tables.

A brown takeout container with the flaps open, with hot French fries covered in yellow lentil curry. A black plastic fork is stuck out of the middle.

Went this afternoon! 😍😢
