Take a gander at the TCL Chinese Theater's IMAX Renovation, you can start watching films this weekend with the Wizard of Oz in 3D.



The Act of Killing continues it's run at the Downtown Independent all the way until Oct 3rd.

A doc you haven't seen before where murderers go over their stories of genocide like their having an enjoyable breakfast together. Very surreal moments about the people who did some of them most heinous crimes and how they live their lives. Add to that moments mimicking people's murders through artistic means like dance numbers.
