SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "KING OF THE HILL" (1993)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 9 for a screening of Steven Soderbergh’s 1993 charming drama “King of the Hill.” \n“King of the Hill” is the story of a 12-year-old boy who is left on his own in St. Louis during the Great Depression\, and not only survives but thrives\, and learns a thing or two. His parents are absent for excellent reasons: His mother is in a TB sanitarium\, and his father\, a door-to-door salesman\, having failed to find much of a market for wickless candles\, has left town to travel for a watch company. \nHis younger brother has been shipped away to relatives. That leaves young Aaron  behind in his family’s rooms in the Empire Hotel\, a transient hotel not quite nice enough to qualify as a brothel. \nKING OF THE HILL | 1993 | DIRECTOR: Steven Soderbergh | WITH: Jesse Bradford\, Jeroen Krabbe\, Lisa Eichhorn\, Adrien Brody\, Karen Allen\, Elizabeth McGovern\, Spalding Gray | RUNNING TIME: 1H 43M | RATED PG-13 for thematic elements | PROJECTED IN DIGITAL 2K \nhttps://youtu.be/f3h-vn29UJM?si=DOLsFaj9CkPKVQz0 \n  \n“As a hero\, Aaron has some of the qualities of Huckleberry Finn\, David Copperfield or Oliver Twist. He’s plucky\, smart\, and knows his way around people. It is a sad truth that he could not survive in today’s unkinder world\, but in the 1930s he finds it possible to support himself and even attend a prestigious local school\, all because of his gift of gab and his genius at creative lying. \n“King of the Hill” could have been a family picture\, or a heartwarming TV docudrama\, or a comedy. Soderbergh must have seen more deeply into the Hotchner memoir\, however\, because his movie is not simply about what happens to the kid. It’s about how the kid learns and grows through his experiences. It’s about growing up\, not just about having colorful adventures. \n“And despite the absence of Aaron’s family for much of the picture\, it’s about the support a family can give – even\, if it’s believed in\, when it isn’t there.” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $7.50 and include a Localist service processing fee.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "ROSEWOOD" (1997)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 16 for a screening of the historical drama “Rosewood\,” about the 1923 attack by a racist lynch mob on the all-Black prosperous Florida town in 1923. \nROSEWOOD | 1997 | DIRECTOR: John Singleton | WITH: Ving Rhames\, Don Cheadle\, Jon Voight\, Bruce McGill\, Esther Rolle | RUNNING TIME: 2H 20M | RATED R for violence and some sexuality | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL \nIn 1923\, a black town in Florida was burned to the ground\, its people murdered because of a lie. Some escaped and survived because of the courage and compassion of a few extraordinary people. This film is for them. \n\n  \n“Rosewood” was expensive\, and there is some question in the industry about what audiences will be drawn to it; it’s not easily summarized in ads and does not obviously appeal to either Blacks (since it documents such a depressing chapter) or whites (depicted as murderous or ineffectual). Perhaps it will appeal to people looking for a well-made film that tells a gripping\, important story. Now there’s a notion.” – Roger Ebert \nTickets are $7 (price includes service fee) and available at link above. Students use code UMSTUDENT at checkout for free admission. Cane card must be shown at the door.

SUMMARY:SUNDAYS AT THE U WITH MOVIES: "GLORY" (1989)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS HERE\nJoin us at 1 p.m. Sunday\, Feb. 23 for a screening of the Oscar-winning drama “Glory\,” about the Civil War’s first all-Black volunteer company. \nGLORY | 1989 | DIRECTOR: Ed Zwick | WITH: Matthew Broderick\, Denzel Washington\, Morgan Freeman\, Cary Elwes\, Andre Braugher |  RUNNING TIME: 2H 2M | RATED R for war violence\, vulgar language\, brutality and adult themes | PROJECTED IN 2K DIGITAL \nMatthew Broderick stars as Col. Robert Gould Shaw\, an officer in the Federal Army during the American Civil War who volunteered to lead the first company of black soldiers. Shaw was forced to deal with the prejudices of both the enemy (who had orders to kill commanding officers of blacks)\, and of his own fellow officers. Winner of three Academy Awards\, including Best Supporting Actor for Denzel Washington\,. \n  \n\n“These men are proud to be soldiers\, proud to wear the uniform and also too proud to accept the racism they see all around them\, as when a decision is made to pay black troops less than white. Blacks march as far\, bleed as much and die as soon\, they argue. Why should they be paid less for the same work? \n“Shaw eventually sees the logic in this argument and joins his men in refusing their paychecks. That action is a turning point for the 54th\, fusing the officers and men together into a unit with mutual trust. But there are countless smaller scenes that do the same thing\, including one in which Shaw is pointedly told by one of his men that when the war is over\, nothing much will have changed: “You’ll go back to your big house.”” — Roger Ebert \nTickets are $6.00 (price includes service fee) and available at link above.
