[source: MuCCC website] The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing An American Journey starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar piques my interest: "Robert Frank's seminal book, The Americans, was published in 1958 to great acclaim, as well as to negative reviews that faulted his vision of a nation awash in poverty, racism and postwar jingoism. This new documentary travels back to the small towns and rural communities the photographer immortalized—exploring the world as Frank saw it and as it survives today."

[source: Flying Squirrel Community Space website] [18+] The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing At Long Last Love starting at 7 p.m. A unique film in that stars "Burt Reynolds, Cybill Shepherd, Madeline Kahn, and Duilio Del Prete sing and dance to the songs of Cole Porter in director Bogdanovich's tribute to '30s musicals. Using direct sound recording (as opposed to having actors lip-synch to a pre-recorded track), Bogdanovich's daring experiment is a forgotten '70s gem worth re-discovering. New 35mm print!"

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Easy Money starting at 8 p.m. The Eastman House calendar does their best to fluff this film up, but I never found Rodney Dangerfield's schtick to be all that funny.
