*Jeez, how many more versions and special nights are we gonna get? We just told you about the screening with live music!? If you've missed this movie so far, you've just not been trying to see it.
Director Bong Joon Ho shares a love of classic black-and-white films
with his cameraman, Hong Kyungpyo. Having previously made a special
black-and-white version of MOTHER (2009), he felt the urge again with
PARASITE. "I'm sure everyone will have a different opinion about this
version. Personally, I think all the characters look even more poignant,
and that the distinctions between the three different spaces where the
families live, with all the shades of grey, are even more tragic.”

near future”), there is a device called the “DC Mini” which allows Dr.
Atsuko Chiba to enter the dreams of her patients (using her alter-ego
“Paprika”) to help try to discover the root of their fears, anxieties,
and hang ups."

I guess Nickelodeon has given up making content for it's own channel? It's made by Nickelodeon, but it's on Netflix? Just like the Invader Zim movie. Wow, that channel has zero pride in itself.
We all know CATS is a huge litter box mess, but here in LA we can celebrate that. Special sold-out screenings for CATS, known as Rowdy Screenings, have been taking place for a little while now. And more have been added to the calendar for the fun of acting...overacting as a feline.
Basically, you get a little bit drunk and really get into the show beyond a normal screening by "clap, purr, hiss, and hairball cough when the time feels right."
We're gonna add cat cosplay as a thing that probably happens too.
It's a truly strange phenomenon and probably the best way to see CATS to make fun of it.
Listen, it's not at the LA Convention Center, we get it, but it's still fun. Check out shows and movies that have a 50% chance of being box office bombs. WonderCon 2020 is coming down the pipeline.

intertwine as a young man falls in love and a severed hand scours Paris
for its owner in Jérémy Clapin’s mesmerizing feature debut. Nominated
for the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and Winner of the
Nespresso Grand Prize at the Cannes Film Festival. “It’s one of the
most original and creative animated features I’ve ever seen: macabre, of

captivating and unexpectedly poetic in the process.” – Peter Debruge, Variety. In French and English with English subtitles.

The little kid in us wants to see them for how dumb they look and for the surprising amount of actors we generally like as cameo characters. But for real, these are gonna be some forgettable video game films. We'll even give credit with the special effects in Free Guy looking top notch, but still. Great graphics don't make a great film.
*Side note
We wish studios allowed for original soundtracks, because we truly love Hardcore Henry, it just would have been at a whole other level if it didn't use old tracks like a TV commercial. These movies look like they're gonna use old tracks in the same way.
We're sure they'll be fun to watch for a weekend movie when you just want to chill at home, but there's not gonna be much substance over style. It's gun and explosions. If you just want to clear you mind for an hour or two you have these this year.

For some reason NBC covered the work of Dr Jedly, the guy who does those funny theme song videos for parts of the Valley and the outlands filled with crime and homelessness. It's funny in itself when NBC asks a random homeless man his thoughts on the videos, he doesn't like them.
...then you realize that...oh, yeah, that's how bad the Valley has been for a long time.

Celebrate love aboard the Queen Mary this Valentine’s Day for an unforgettable evening of romance and old-world glamour. Selling out each year, My Vintage Valentine Dinner Show dazzles the crowd with vintage burlesque beauties, French cancan dancers, and acrobats that will take guests on a visual journey as they dine on a delectable four-course meal in one of the Queen Mary’s historic salons.Attendees will be delighted by this “four-course love story,” where a tantalizing new act appears on stage with each course of the meal — beginning with a couple’s heart-pounding first encounter…all the way through a Parisian honeymoon.
Rooted in the reggae sounds of the 1970s and in Caribbean nightclubs in London, Lovers Rock is more than a music genre—it serves as a space of love, identity and resistance, fostering a nuanced intersection of gender and expression. Grand Park celebrates Lovers Rock and transforms the 12-acre urban oasis with mood lighting and curated music into the premier date spot for couples celebrating Valentine’s Day on a budget. Angelenos can bring a picnic dinner and enjoy a romantic evening at tables for two around Grand Park’s iconic Arthur J. Will Memorial fountain followed by a moonlit walk throughout the park’s Olive Court amidst the historic views of Los Angeles City Hall. Guests will experience special music curated to enhance the park’s beautiful surroundings
