Weekly Rochester Events #704 Starting Thursday, July 5, 2012
Tonight through Saturday at 8 p.m. and on Sunday at 2 p.m. at The Multi-Use Community Cultural Center (MuCCC) (142 Atlantic Ave.) is ShakeCo: The Shakespeare Company's performances of R.U.R. (Rossum's Universal Robots). Alas, written in the 1920's in Czechoslovakia, it's central to misogynist overtones which annoyed me like it did when I read it the first time in high school.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Robot Monster starting at 8 p.m. Bob Furmanek will be on hand to introduce this unique film. According to the Eastman House calendar, "over the course of four days in L.A.'s Bronson Canyon, Phil Tucker used every element at his disposal to create the first stereoscopic, stream-of-consciousness, sci-fi flick for kids. Stupendously rare in its original 3-D version, Robot Monster is a mind-boggling feat of DIY filmmaking."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Deliverance starting at 8 p.m. As if you didn't already know, but the Eastman House calendar has this to say: "four 'civilized' businessmen confront 'primitive' man, one another, and ultimately themselves when their back-to-nature weekend takes a harrowing turn. Boorman's haunting adaptation of James Dickey's novel remains a shattering exploration of survival, the American myth, and the darkest corners of the self."
