In 4TH MAN OUT Evan Todd (“Switched at Birth”) stars as Adam, a small-town, blue-collar mechanic who likes beer and hockey but surprises his buddies when he tells them he’s gay. Well meaning but perhaps fated to trip over themselves, hilarity ensues when said buddies all try to help Adam find a boyfriend. Parker Young (“Arrow”), Chord Overstreet (“Glee”), Jon Gabrus (“Younger”) and Kate Flannery (“The Office) co-star.
4TH MAN OUT director Andrew Nackman, actors Evan Todd, Parker Young, Jon Gabrus, Kate Flannery and producers Lauren Hogarth, Lauren Avinoam and Jed Mellick will participate in a Q&A moderated by Alonso Duralde of TheWrap after the 7:40 PM screening at the NoHo 7 on Friday, February 5th.
A rare chance to see all five Oscar-nominated foreign language films before the Academy Awards.
The Academy Awards are many things: entertaining, infuriating, moving, boring. For foreign films, our bread and butter, the Oscars can be quite effective at bringing attention to worthy movies from abroad. That done, the next challenge for cinephiles in the general public is to find a way to see them as they were meant to be seen: on a big screen with an audience in a movie theater. In a typical year, the five nominees for the Foreign Language Film Oscar include one or two that hit theaters months earlier, one or two that are currently in theaters, and one or two that may come out after the big night. This year, that night is February 28 and as luck would have it all five films have or will have Laemmle engagements between now and the Academy Awards ceremony.
The nominees are:
EMBRACE OF THE SERPENT ~ from Colombia, with its first nomination. We open the film February 26th at the Monica Film Center, Playhouse 7 and Town Center 5 and March 5 as a weekend morning show at the Claremont.
MUSTANG ~ from France, with its 37th nomination, its first since A Prophet in 2009. France hasn’t won this award since Indochine in 1992. Now showing at the Playhouse; opening Friday at the Music Hall and February 5th at the NoHo 7 and Claremont 5.
SON OF SAUL ~ from Hungary, with its ninth nomination in this category. It has won once, in 1981 for Mephisto. It’s now playing at the Playhouse and Town Center and opening January 29th at the Monica Film Center and February 12th at the Claremont 5 and NoHo 7.
THEEB ~ from Jordan, with its first nomination. Opens Friday at the Music Hall with weekend morning shows at the Playhouse and Claremont.
A WAR ~ from Denmark, with its 11th nomination. Denmark has taken this prize three times, including for Babette’s Feast in 1987. We open it February 12th at the Royal, Playhouse and Town Center.
Avail yourself of these terrific films before the Oscar ceremony!

He continues, “This is your once-a-year chance to be the star of the shtetl. Join voices with friends and neighbors and sing your heart out alongside Fiddler’s screen legends. And it’s okay if you haven’t memorized all the songs. We provide the lyrics.”

Strength in numbers: Join a group ride to the NoHo for BIKES VS CARS this weekend!
Bikes vs Cars, which we’ll open at the NoHo 7 on Friday, depicts a global crisis that we all deep down know we need to talk about: climate, earth’s resources, cities where the entire surface is consumed by the car, an ever-growing, dirty, noisy traffic chaos. The bike is a great tool for change, but the powerful interests who gain from the private car invest billions each year in lobbying and advertising to protect their business. In the film we meet activists and thinkers who are fighting for better cities by “being the change:” bicycling and advocating for bicyclists’ safe and equal access to our public roads. Sharing the road with motorists can actually be a daunting prospect for many cyclists who are aware of the many instances where accidents have occurred and resulted in injury or worse. Anyone involved in such an incident may want to reach out to a lawyer for help with getting a settlement in a car accident case – medical bills can be costly and so can replacing damaged goods so you’ll want to make sure you get what you deserve.
This weekend you can meet those people and take a bike ride with them. The filmmakers and distributor are planning several fun events during our run of the film. Details are being collated on the film’s Facebook page but the basics are these: The 7:45 PM screening on Friday, December 4th is a fundraiser for the awesome non-profit Bicycle Kitchen. People are planning multiple group rides to the NoHo, the largest of which will be from the Golden Saddle Cyclery in Silver Lake. Additional ride involvement from other shops: Pure Fix Cycles group ride from their shop in NoHo; Elohssa Cycling group ride from NoHo; SWAT (She Wolf Attack Team), Mom Ridaz & Fix Fixie will join a feeder ride.
Also, filmmaker Fredrik Gertten will participate in a Q&A’s following the Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 7:45 PM screenings. The Tuesday December 8th, 7:45pm screening will be hosted by VisionLA Film Festival. After the screening there will be a panel discussion with representatives from Los Angeles’ upcoming bike share program, planned launch date mid-2016.
Throwback Thursday: BATTLE ROYALE at 7:30pm on 11/19 in NoHo. Early bird tickets are only $5!
This week’s Throwback Thursday selection is BATTLE ROYALE! An underground hit that anticipated The Hunger Games novels by eight years, veteran director Fukasaku’s epically violent, still-controversial and deeply influential genre masterpiece takes place in a dystopian alternate universe. In the near future, the economy has collapsed, unemployment has soared and juvenile crime has exploded. Fearful of its nation’s youth, the Japanese government passes the BR Law: Each year, a 9th grade class is sent to a remote island where they will be locked into exploding neck collars, given a random weapon, and forced to hunt and kill each other until there is only one survivor left. Battle Royale follows one such class, with an ice-cold performance from Takeski Kitano as the group’s teacher.
Purchase tickets before Thursday and pay only $5! Regular price is $11.
BATTLE ROYALE screens at 7:30PM on 11/19 at the Laemmle NoHo 7 and is part of our THROWBACK THURSDAY series in partnership with Eat|See|Hear. For upcoming screenings, visit: www.laemmle.com/tbt.
