But when one of the guests is stabbed to death, the festivities in this isolated house of tricks and mirrors quickly turn dangerous. Then it's up to Gillette himself, as he assumes the persona of his beloved Holmes, to track down the killer before the next victim appears. The danger and hilarity are non-stop in this glittering whodunit set during the Christmas holidays.

My Fair Eliza theatrical performance (2016-Jan-3 @ 2 p.m.)
2016-01-03 14:00 - 16:00 | MuCCC (Multi-use Community Cultural Center), 142 Atlantic Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The classic story of Professor Henry Higgins and his attempt to turn "guttersnipe" Eliza Doolittle into a lady who could pass as "a duchess at an ambassador's garden party" was first performed in 1913 (as a German translation) in Vienna, followed by its New York premiere in March of 1914 (again in German) and finally in English in London in April, 1914. […] "My Fair Eliza" (taking its name from both the musical and Shaw's working title, "Fair Eliza") returns to Shaw's original version, editing the work for time and clarity. It serves as a perfect introduction to one of the great works of the theater for the uninitiated and (at around an hour runtime) a breezy refresher for fans of "Pygmalion" and "My Fair Lady" alike.

The Man and the Moment screening
2016-01-05 20:00 - 21:12 | Dryden Theatre at George Eastman Museum (formerly George Eastman House), 900 East Ave., Rochester, New York, 14607, United States
The Dryden will screen The Man and the Moment (George Fitzmaurice, U.S. 1929, 72 min., DCP).
"The Man and the Moment (40% dialog) will pass as light entertainment in the average house. George Fitzmaurice has diluted the Glyn molasses so that the screen version avoids most of the love licorice and dwells on the comedy situations. Only once does the dialog insinuate in a way, boldly subtle and then repeated until even the janitors know it is the sex relation. However, most of the lines get by. . . . A swift novelty of outboard motor polo introduces the chief locale, niche in the West Coast and a yacht. Photography rips the small boats through the water at an innatural [sic],, but audience thrilling speed. The young, reckless and somewhat dumb millionaire provider of the attractions is shown just before he crashes with the seaplane operated by the theme's eroine [sic],, a young ingenue only a short time removed from her sequestered Nebraskan upbringing, now living with a stern and unsympathetic guardian. Rod La Rocque and Billie Dove play these roles. Fantastic as Miss Glyn has made them, the principals are unable to eliminate a recitation tonality, characteristic of small town stock voices, that creeps into some of the more stereotyped lines. Both players, however, give a worthwhile performance, especially La Rocque. There is too much of the comedy, with the exception of an eye and ear kissing sequence, for The Man and the Moment register anything really hot. The audience knows from the subtitling that Miss Dove as Joan is out of her class with the boozing yacht crowd and that Mike, the supposed philanderer, has really fallen for pure love, after the second half of the first reel. But the whole story satisfies both, and the fans, that conventionalism is the best way to get out of the theatre." —Variety (1929)

This sometimes shocking film may change your diet, help you protect your family, and accelerate the consumer tipping point against GMOs.

The Dryden will screen Chan sam ying hung (A Hero Never Dies, Johnnie To, Hong Kong 1998, 86 min., 35mm, Cantonese w/subtitles).
By the time he directed A Hero Never Dies, Johnnie To had been making films for full twenty years, and his vast oeuvre consisted of practically everything, from martial arts fantasies and soap operas to screwball comedies and romantic melodramas—all competent, entertaining accomplishments, showing a quiet, dedicated craftsman at work. But when he first tackled the genre of an action gangster film in 1998 with A Hero Never Dies, To's truest talent emerged and the history of hardboiled genre opened a brand new chapter.
