The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Directed by Terry Gilliam. 2009. PG-13. Running time: 122 min.

“As unusual and idiosyncratic as its one-of-a-kind title. You’d expect no less from Terry Gilliam, and admirers of this singular filmmaker will be pleased to know that “Imaginarium” is one of his most original and accessible works.”

The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus

Young Audiences:

Segal Puppet Theatre & Co.

Age 4+. Running time: Approx. 40 min.

Segal Puppet Theatre & Co. returns to the Colonial with a brand new show: A Ducky Day in the French Cafe. Remember the story of the five little ducks who went out one day? That’s right, they went over the hill and far away. Did you ever wonder where they went? In this delightful little confection, you will find they have wandered into The French Cafe run by chefs Philippe and Francoise who have been searching for five customers so they can make their famous French soufflé. Unfortunately keeping five ducks around proves harder than expected in this family oriented puppet delicacy.

High Sierra

Directed by Raoul Walsh. US. 1948. NR. Running time: 126 min.

If Angels with Dirty Faces featured Bogie in one of his best bad guy roles, then this gangster classic presents the first incarnation of the persona that he made his own, the good bad guy. This film, beautifully written by John Huston before he became a director, gave Bogie his first big starring role, as “Mad Dog” Roy Earl, a world-weary ex-con called in for one last job in a world that has greatly changed.

Point Entertainment presents Two Funny Philly Guys

Tickets: $25 Buy tickets at ticketweb.com.

Listeners to Sports Radio WIP are no strangers to these two funny Philly guys. On the morning show, Joe Conklin, the man of “a thousand” voices, does uncanny impressions of Harry Kalas and Charles Barkley, to Bill Clinton and Ed Rendell. Big Daddy Graham, who hosts the overnight shift, originally started out as a musical comedian opening for rock shows, now focuses on what he calls observational comedy, telling stories about living in Philadelphia.

First Friday Fright Night:

Zombie

Directed by Lucio Fulci. Italy. 1979. NR. Running time: 91 min.

Lucio Fulci’s unofficial follow up to George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead (1978) is a twisted, scary and fun romp in the zombie genre. After a sailboat shows up in New York harbor with the undead on it, Anne (Tisa Farrow) and Peter (Ian McCulloch) go looking for the boat’s owner. Their journey takes them to Matul Island where a mad man is bringing the dead back to life. Part voodoo and part science, this shocking tale reveals the dangers when one person decides to play God. The film has a realistic nightmare quality to it as if somewhere this might have actually happened. To get anyone to watch the film all you have to say is “Zombie vs. Shark” (check it out on YouTube) and you’re there. (Bob Trate)

Shaolin Soccer

Directed by Stephen Chow. HK. 2001. Age 8+. Running time: 87 min.

At Kung Fu, they’re masters. But when it comes to soccer, they’re total disasters. Now, the only way to win…is to believe in Shaolin. (Miramax Films) “Whatever this universe is, you’re inside it, with your mouth open, wishing that all sporting events could be this exhilarating, that all human bodies could work this way, that all simpleminded movies could be this mindfully empty-headed.” (David Edelstein, Slate.com)
