“2001” is a story of evolution. Sometime in the distant past, someone or something nudged evolution by placing a monolith on Earth (presumably elsewhere throughout the universe as well). Evolution then enabled humankind to reach the moon’s surface, where yet another monolith is found, one that signals the monolith placers that humankind has evolved that far. Now a race begins between computers (HAL) and human (Bowman) to reach the monolith placers. The winner will achieve the next step in evolution, whatever that may be.

Most people today believe we are “addicted” to oil. But are we? Is oil destroying our lives the way other addictions do? Newsman turned filmmaker Mark Mathis explores our relationship to oil and what he reveals is a stunning pattern of misinformation, disinformation and even outright deception about this resource that literally runs our lives. Mathis also investigates what is likely to be the greatest challenge ever faced by humanity-trying to run the modern world on less oil. Three years in the making, spOILed blows the lid off our delusions about oil. Fasten your seat belts. It’s going to be a bumpy

Sculpture in motion. That’s how The New York Times describes COMPLEXIONS. Witness their mesmerizing contemporary dance performance and you’ll understand why their mission is simple: to celebrate excellence in dance.
They dance to provoke thought and inspire through impassioned performances. The career paths of the company’s founders, Dwight Rhoden and Desmond Richardson, paved the way for them to re-definedance. Their multifaceted resumes show that neither has ever been comfortable with his art being placed in a box.
Instead, from E! to PBS, from Cirque de Soleil to So You Think You Can Dance, they have allowed the transformative power of their art to flow freely throughout the entertainment world restricted by nothing but the limits of the human body itself.

“The Hobbit”
Monday, October 1st, 2012 – Sunday, October 7th, 2012
Comedy- By Patricia Gray.
Based on the classic by J.R.R. Tolkien.
It’s unusual for a modern work to become a classic so quickly, but Tolkien’s “ring” stories, which began with The Hobbit, clearly are in this very special category. They stir the imagination and intellect of everyone they touch. Bilbo, one of the most conservative of all Hobbits, is asked to leave his large, roomy and very dry home in the ground in order to set off as chief robber in an attempt to recover an important treasure. It’s the last thing that any sensitive Hobbit would want to do, but great benefit eventually results-not only for Bilbo but for all of the Hobbits who inhabit Middle Earth-and the hearts of those children and adults who continue to enjoy this kind of magic.
