This Week at The Broad: Can One Song Save Your Life?

This week we have a most strange and unusual situation. Our biggest movie is opening on a Wednesday instead of Friday. This gives us five glorious days to play whatever the heck we want, so we have two films for you to check out in limited release. BAND AID is the directorial debut of Zoe Lister-Jones, and as an actress known for her strong work in independent film, she has called in a murderer’s row of comedic talent for this one. It’s a tale of martial woe being solved the only way they know how, by starting a band.

This Week at The Broad: Fast Cars & Rap Stars

This Week at The Broad, we venture deeper and deeper still into the summer movie season. As the thermostat at home struggles to keep up with the scorching heat, we feature two highly-anticipated films about two wildly different worlds. ALL EYEZ ON ME is the long-awaited Tupac Shakur biopic starring Demetrius Shipp Jr. in a performance that is absolutely uncanny. Trying to portray one of the greatest rappers of all time is quite the feat, but this looks to be a film that shows all the sides to a truly complex and talented performer. CARS 3 is the latest film from Pixar, the gold standard in animation in the US.

Remember when you were a kid and your idea of fun was a cardboard tube? You can turn it into a baseball bat, a lightsaber, or even a makeshift telescope in search of buried treasure. With Memorial Day on the horizon, we want you to find your inner kid as we’re going to set our sails on a high-sea journey for adventure! PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN: DEAD MEN TELL NO TALES is the fifth film starring the unpredictable Captain Jack Sparrow. Javier Bardem joins the star-studded cast as one of the most menacing villains you will see this summer as the evil (and dead) Captain Salazar.

This Week at The Broad, we’ve got two new films and a slew of special events to go over so let’s get straight to the run down, shall we? T2: TRAINSPOTTING is the long awaited sequel to one of the outright classic independent films of the 90’s. Rather than the typical overdue sequel that forgets what made the original so amazing, this is a mature sequel that brings back the characters you love (led by a still-mesmerizing Ewan McGregor) with something to say about the passage of time. 20 years may have passed, but Danny Boyle and crew still know how to crank out a classic. THE FATE OF THE FURIOUS is the eighth film in a series that continues to amaze people with its continued quality.

In the somewhat lean film landscape in April, it is our mission to bring you the type of film screenings that you used to always read about happening in other cities. $2 Tuesday continues next week with the immortal martial arts classic BLOODSPORT. If you agree with us that all films are better with Jean-Claude Van Damme in them, then we expect to see you next Tuesday evening. $2 drink specials will be served as well for your responsible enjoyment. BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, GET OUT, RAW, and GHOST IN THE SHELL all remain at our theater this week.

This Week at The Broad: Don’t give up cinema for Lent!

This Week at The Broad brings two new films for your post-carnival enjoyment, and they are rather different from each other to say the least. LOGAN is being described as the last Wolverine film to star Hugh Jackman. But even more than a swan song for a superhero, this is a drama that deserves respect even for those who aren’t into tights and spandex. Critics are raving not at the spectacle, but the human drama taking place in this installment in the X-Men franchise. We have a couple of sneak previews this evening, so we hope to see a few true believers in the audience. KEDI is a documentary about cats.

Every week, we learn more and more from you about what you want to see here at The Broad. Take for instance PATERSON. Did we know that some people wanted to see it? Sure, that’s why we went after it. But we did not expect it to do the crazy numbers that it did, so we have no problem bringing it back for another week.

This Week at The Broad: Going GA GA for LA LA

It swept the Golden Globes, received almost unanimous critical acclaim, and it’s currently in the process of reviving the Hollywood musical. And now finally LA LA LAND has arrived at The Broad Theater. We started playing the trailer for this film this past summer in hopes of landing it, and now we present to you some old fashioned singing and dancing for your entertainment. Director Mike Mills has a fascinating resume with only three feature films to his name. Now when those three films happen to be THUMBSUCKER, BEGINNERS, and our newest release 20th CENTURY WOMEN, he has earned his reputation as a fantastic director.
