The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing All the Real Girls starting at 8 p.m. As Eastman House quotes from Roger Ebert, "most movies about young love trivialize and cheapen it. Green knows there are nights when lovers want simply to wrap their arms around one another and celebrate their glorious destinies".

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Big Lebowski starting at 8 p.m. Especially if you have only seen this stoner-whimsical comedy-mystery in bits-and-pieces like I had, you owe it to yourself to see what all the fuss is about and sit down to deliberately watch it from beginning to end. Preferably with a white Russian if you can manage to get one.
