RSVP on Eventbrite

LAEMMLE LIVE IS ON THE MOVE for November only.  We proudly present SOL-LA Music Academy and Saint Anne School in a collaborative musical concert on Sunday, November 5, 2017, at Laemmle’s Royal Theatre in West Los Angeles. SOL-LA Music Academy is a nonprofit music school in Santa Monica that provides high quality performing arts education to students from all backgrounds and economic circumstances in an engaging and encouraging environment fostering achievement and community. Their comprehensive program reflects the belief that vibrant cultural education nurtures all areas of learning, connects diverse societies and enhances the enjoyment of life.

Saint Anne School is Santa Monica’s only nonpublic Title I school, with at least 40% of families qualifying as low income according to federal standards. The school serves a diverse population of families from 66 zip codes. Without SOL-LA, most of these students would not have access to the myriad benefits that a comprehensive music education can offer. The SOL-LA at Saint Anne School program, now in its seventh year, was born out of a desire to see music included as a core curriculum subject.

As a parochial school, Saint Anne has the flexibility to include music as a priority rather than as an elective. Saint Anne partners with SOL-LA to bring high-quality music instruction to its students on-site, with an option for the students to further participate in after school instruction at SOL-LA’s campus. SOL-LA at Saint Anne School is a sequential music education program, providing free music instruction and instruments to 270 K–8th Grade students during regular school hours at Saint Anne.

SOL-LA’s program at Saint Anne is thoroughly integrated into the curriculum; all students in all classrooms participate in the program. Additionally, SOL-LA provides instruments to students during the school year at no cost.

Director Richard Donner In-person for LETHAL WEAPON 30th Anniversary Screening on October 24 at the Ahrya Fine Arts

by

Laemmle Theatres and the Anniversary Classics Series present a 30th anniversary screening of LETHAL WEAPON, the hyperkinetic buddy cop movie that launched an enormously popular franchise.

LETHAL WEAPON (1987)
Q&A with Director Richard Donner
Tuesday, October 24, at 7:30 PM
at the Ahrya Fine Arts
Click here for tickets

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star as cops who are polar opposites but are forced to work together to break up a deadly drug ring. Gibson plays a reckless, undisciplined, suicidal detective who is paired with a cautious family man, played by Glover.

Screenwriter Shane Black brought a fresh twist to the thriller genre with these unexpected characterizations, and Richard Donner directed with energy and finesse.

Gary Busey and Mitchell Ryan portray the villains, and Darlene Love and Traci Wolfe co-star. Joel Silver produced the film.

The Washington Post called the film—a box office smash in 1987–“a vivid, visceral reminder of how exciting an action film can be.”

Roger Ebert declared, “This movie thrilled me from beginning to end,” and his critical confrere, Gene Siskel, added, “Gibson and Glover make a great team.” Three sequels and a TV series followed.

After starting in television, Richard Donner scored his first big-screen success with a low-budget horror movie, The Omen. He then launched the comic book film craze with Superman in 1978, which introduced Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel. Donner’s many other films include the three Lethal Weapon sequels, Inside Moves, Ladyhawke, The Goonies, Scrooged, and Conspiracy Theory.

MANSFIELD 66/67 with THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT + WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER October 25-November 2 at the Ahrya Fine Arts Theater

by

Laemmle Theatres joins FilmBuff, The Ebersole Hughes Company, and Vintage Los Angeles for the opening night premiere of MANSFIELD 66/67, featuring the directors P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes with special guests. Scheduled to appear: AJ Benza, Richmond Arquette, Mary Woronov, Donna Loren, Alison Martino and more! October 25 premiere seating is limited and tickets are $20 each.

MANSFIELD 66/67 is about the last two years of movie goddess Jayne Mansfield’s life, and the rumor that her untimely death was caused by a curse after her alleged romantic dalliance with Anton LaVey, head of the Church of Satan.

Welcome to MANSFIELD 66/67, a true story based on rumor and hearsay, where classic documentary interviews (including John Waters, Kenneth Anger, Dolly Read, Tippi Hedren, Mamie Van Doren, AJ Benza, Marilyn, Peaches Christ, Mary Woronov, Susan Bernard and more) and archival materials are blended with wild dance numbers, performance art and animation (voiced by Ann Magnuson and Richmond Arquette), elevating a tabloid tale of a fallen Hollywood idol into a celebration of the mythical proportions of a true original we can’t help but live to love more each day.

We open the film for a week-long engagement at the Fine Arts on Friday, October 27th and will also screen two Mansfield classics, THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT from October 27th – 29th and WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? on October 28 and 29.
