The Wilmette Theatre Has Partnered with Educator and Film Critic Don PRESS RELEASE WILMETTE THEATRE ANNOUNCES “KIDS KLASSICS” A NEW SERIES FOR YOUNG AUDIENCES THAT TEACHES THROUGH FILM The Wilmette Theatre has partnered with educator and film critic Don Shanahan to host a rotation of curated films that will feature some of the most beloved kids classics followed by a thought-provoking, fun post-screening talkback. The Wilmette Theatre is excited to announce a new, curated film series for children and families starting this spring. KIDS KLASSICS is a themed film series screening some of the most beloved classics. Each screening will be followed by a fun and educational talkback to engage young audiences to think about films in a new way. Hosted by Chicago film critic, blogger for ‘Every Movie Has a Lesson,’ and educator Don Shanahan, who will lead an interactive discussion. The theme in the first series is ‘Mischievous Kids’, beginning with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory on Sunday, April 8th, at 2:00pm. Tickets are $10.00 for adults and $8.50 for children and can be purchased at www.wilmettetheatre.com. KIDS KLASSICS introduces high quality, live-action family films to young audiences as an alternative to the deluge of commercial animated fare in family films. The series will present classic conversation provoking movies that introduce young audiences to thoughtful movie viewing. The intention of this series is to serve as a springboard for a critical analysis of films and other means of entertainment throughout their lives. “We have the perfect moderator in Don Shanahan, an educator and film critic, introducing the films and leading a post-movie conversation,” said Wendy Sharon, Executive Director of the Wilmette Theatre. “This series allows us to offer families the opportunity to ‘See Something Different.’ KIDS KLASSICS will provide both entertainment and education to our young audience.” The first theme of the series is "Mischievous Kids," (April – June) that will teach kids a great deal about avoiding trouble when watching others figure out their own. Followed by future series including ‘Musicals,’ ‘Fantasy,’ and ‘Sports’. -more- PRESS RELEASE Don Shanahan has been an elementary educator in the Chicagoland area for 16 years, standing day after day in front of the toughest crowds you will ever meet: really honest kids. He is currently an instructional coach at Sunnyside Intermediate School, part of Berkeley School District #87. KIDS KLASSICS will allow Don to take his zest for teaching and merge it with a passion for films, in which he will highlight the learning experiences found in every movie. Since 2010, Don has been a published film critic through his site "Every Movie Has a Lesson," rated top “Top 100 Movie Blogs of 2018.” He also writes for Medium.com and for the Southland Voice community newspaper serving southern Cook and northern Will Counties. Don’s post screening talks will include background stories on the making of these movies and how best to watch films with a discerning eye. He wants to help grow informed and educated new film fans. Ever the talkative schoolteacher, Don will lead engaging, funny, and "student- centered" talkbacks keen on youth participation. Any and all questions are welcome and expect a few thought-provoking challenges along the way. SCHEDULE FOR MISCHIEVOUS FILM SERIES April 8 - Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (G): The original 1971 film about an enigmatic candy manufacturer Willy Wonka (Gene Wilder) who stages a contest by hiding five golden tickets in five of his scrumptious candy bars. Whoever comes up with these tickets will win a free tour of the Wonka factory, as well as a lifetime supply of candy. Four of the five winning children are insufferable brats: the fifth is a likeable young lad named Charlie Bucket (Peter Ostrum), who takes the tour in the company of his equally amiable grandfather (Jack Albertson). In the end, only Charlie and his grandfather are left. April 22 - E.T. (PG): Both a classic movie for kids and a remarkable portrait of childhood, E.T. is a sci-fi adventure that captures that strange moment in youth when the world is a place of mysterious possibilities (some wonderful, some awful), and the universe seems somehow separate from the one inhabited by grown-ups. The film centers around a troubled child who summons the courage to help a friendly alien escape Earth and return to his home world. May 6 - The Goonies (PG) – A 1985 American adventure comedy film about two brothers who find out they might lose their house and they are desperate to find a way to keep their home. They find a treasure map and bring some friends along to find it. They are all out looking for the "X" and trying to get away from a group of bad guys who also want the treasure. -more- PRESS RELEASE May 20 – Big (PG): Starring Tom Hanks, this 1988 American fantasy comedy film highlights the old adage ‘be careful what you wish for.’ After wishing to be made big, a teenage boy wakes the next morning to find himself mysteriously in the body of an adult. This charming, sweet, hilarious gem of a film works because Tom Hanks makes you believe he actually is a small boy in the body of an adult. The interesting trick of what makes the story appealing is not so much the magic that the boy gets his wish to be "big." It's that once he is an adult, he has to navigate the adult world. June 3 - Home Alone (PG): A 1990 American comedy film starring Macaulay Culkin as Kevin McCallister, a boy who is mistakenly left behind when his family flies to Paris for their Christmas vacation. Kevin initially relishes being home alone, but soon has to contend with two would- be burglars played by Joe Pesci and Daniel Stern. The film also features Catherine O'Hara and John Heard as Kevin's parents.

    From: Reviews and Criticism of Vietnam War Theatrical and Television Dramas (http://www.lasalle.edu/library/vietnam/FilmIndex/home.htm) compiled by John K. McAskill, La Salle University ([email protected]) O5855 187 [ONE EIGHTY-SEVEN] (USA, 1997) Credits: director, Kevin Reynolds ; writer, Scott Yagemann. Cast: Samuel L. Jackson, John Heard, Kelly Rowan, Clifton Gonzalez Gonzalez. Summary: Detective/mystery film set in contemporary New York City and Los Angeles. Dedicated New York science instructor Trevor Garfield (Jackson) is a man with a passion for learning. Garfield is skilled, smart, committed: the total package as a teacher. But what he confronts in a school turned increasingly into a battlefield may be more than he can bear. When he is attacked by a psychotic student, he leaves New York for Los Angeles and resumes teaching in a Latino neighborhood. When a vicious student there is found murdered, Garfield falls under suspicion. The Vietnam connection stems from the Russian roulette scene in The Deer Hunter which plays on a television in the background with an implied link to a student’s suicide. Adams, Lisa J. “Samuel L.

  • A Perfect Ending EPK 2
    A PERFECT ENDING SYNOPSIS Rebecca, a repressed and uptight socialite, lives a perfect pointless life.

She could never have known that in that space, she would discover answers she's been searching for her entire life. Her journey from perfect control to unbridled passion allows Rebecca not only to reclaim worthless years, but to redeem and vindicate painful regrets.

  • Awakenings (1990) Cast
    Awakenings (1990) In 1969, Dr. Malcolm Sayer (Robin Williams) is a dedicated and caring physician at a local hospital in the New York City borough of the Bronx. After working extensively with the catatonic patients who survived the 1917– 1928 epidemic of encephalitis lethargica, Sayer discovers certain stimuli will reach beyond the patients' respective catatonic states; actions such as catching a ball, hearing familiar music, and experiencing human touch all have unique effects on particular patients and offer a glimpse into their worlds. Leonard Lowe (Robert De Niro) proves elusive in this regard, but Sayer soon discovers that Leonard is able to communicate with him by using a Ouija board. After attending a lecture at a conference on the subject of the L‐Dopa drug and its success with patients suffering from Parkinson's Disease, Sayer believes the drug may offer a breakthrough for his own group of patients. A trial run with Leonard yields astounding results: Leonard completely "awakens" from his catatonic state. This success inspires Sayer to ask for funding from donors so that all the catatonic patients can receive the L‐Dopa medication and experience "awakenings" back to reality. Meanwhile, Leonard is adjusting to his new life and becomes romantically interested in Paula (Penelope Ann Miller), the daughter of another hospital patient. Leonard also begins to chafe at the restrictions placed upon him as a patient of the hospital, desiring the freedom to come and go as he pleases. He stirs up a revolt by arguing his case to Sayer and the hospital administration. Sayer notices that as Leonard grows more agitated, a number of facial and body tics are starting to manifest, which Leonard has difficulty controlling.

"So," he said to me, "you are going to settle in Johannesburg. Well — here's the best advice I can give you. Leave your ideas in Europe. You're going among blacks — gentle, happy savages — children, children who never grow beyond the age of ten or twelve. So, if you have any notion of treating them as equals, forget about it." The Johannesburgers talked in a similar vein. Their atti- tude toward the blacks was as irrational, fraught with such blind fear and hostihty that argument was useless. I saw I would get nowhere with the whites. There was only one other way. I would get to know the blacks, not as blacks but as human beings. I first began to study them seriously in connection with my work at a mental hospital for blacks.
