Bully
Directed by Lee Hirsch. US. 2011. PG-13. Running time: 98 min.
“The best social documents on film do more than show you what’s wrong in the world – they make it personal. Bully does that with a passion. Lee Hirsch’s film is a potent and provocative look at a problem that’s out of control, what with 13 million American kids a year being bullied, and some of them even taking their own lives.

MST3K: Chaos at the Colonial
$7 - $35 Buy tickets online. PG-13.
Joel Hodgson (creator, writer and star of MST3K) and his students from Riff Camp 2012 are bringing some college level movie riffing to the Colonial Theatre in a Movie Riffing Battle Royale. Four groups will compete on stage riffing some truly horrible short films as the audience will decide who is the victor! Joel will also be screening one of his favorite MST3K episodes (I Accuse My Parents) and discussing it in a not so scholarly fashion after the live show. Also, warm up act Harrison “Dr. Wizard” Lichtner and Dave “Drop Zone” Piccinetti will do battle in an experimental demonstration in art of “movie clashing.”
