Aero Theatre
Free Screening of Episode 101 + Popcorn, soda and candy courtesy of AMC+ and Shudder
AMC+ & Shudder's THE TERROR: DEVIL IN SILVER tells the story of Pepper (Dan Stevens) – a working class moving man, who through a combination of bad luck and a bad temper, finds himself wrongfully committed to New Hyde Psychiatric Hospital – an institution filled with the people society would rather forget. There, he must contend with patients who work against him, doctors who harbor grim secrets, and perhaps even the very Devil himself. As Pepper navigates a hellscape where nothing is as it seems, he finds that the only path to freedom is to face down the entity which thrives on the suffering within New Hyde’s walls – but doing so may prove that the worst demons of all live inside him. Judith Light, CCH Pounder and more also star.

Never Say Die: Ageless Adventures That Built The Boroughs May 11-21
"To celebrate the series’ May 21st release of [The Boroughs] on Netflix, the Egyptian Theatre is proud to present Never Say Die: Ageless Adventures That Built The Boroughs, a film collection specially curated by series creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews that contains their cinematic inspirations for The Boroughs. Never Say Die features some of cinema’s most memorable motley crews of eccentrics, young and old – underestimated heroes who assemble to fight against dangers that threaten their homes, their families and their lives, as well as friends whose bonds deepen and strengthen as they share an unforgettable adventure.
Whether it’s friends joining together to face the extraterrestrial (Cocoon, E.T., Signs), the monstrous (Fright Night, The Lost Boys, Poltergeist), or the unbelievable wonders hidden right under their backyards (The Goonies), all of the stories featured in this lineup reverberate through The Boroughs.
Film fans of all ages can enjoy these classics together at the Egyptian. And as a special treat, the Egyptian will host a free-with-RSVP sneak peek at the first episode of The Boroughs on Wednesday, May 20 at 7:30 PM, followed by a post-screening conversation with series creators Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews!"

We're totally in for Zach Cregger's take on Resident Evil. The concept is just a regular guy, not a cop, not someone specially trained is put in the world. So, wrong place, wrong time.
Apparently, it's more about the messed up mutants you get from the games than the zombies.
We won't get it until September. Yes, it's still coming from Sony.

For nearly six decades, Magdalena Suarez Frimkess (b. Caracas, 1929) has maintained a daily practice of creating an autobiography without words. Rather than telling her story by weaving together anecdotes of the rather dramatic turns her life has taken as she moved from Venezuela to Chile and finally the United States, she has instead chosen to sculpt in clay, over and over again, a personal pantheon of cartoon deities, demi-gods and mortals who have acted as her very own Greek chorus. A painter and sculptor by training, Suarez Frimkess has invoked a cast of characters from the animated world of cartoons: Minnie and Mickey Mouse, Little Lulu, Popeye and Olive Oyl, Felix the Cat, Betty Boop and Condorito, the anthropomorphic Chilean comic strip bird known for his absurdist slap stick humor.
