Once she encounters the spry and clever Count Leon d'algout (Melvyn Douglas), however, her talents for resisting the delights of capitalism begin to wear off. Billed as the film in which \"Garbo laughs,\" Ninotchka captures the enchantments of the golden age of the romantic comedy with its witty script, bubbly performances, and the indefinable Lubitsch touch.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/06\/ninotchka\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Inner Planets<\/strong>, and <strong>Twisted Vibes<\/strong> perform tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> starting around 8:30 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/07\/rochester-ny-the-inner-planets-w-twisted-vibes-cultr-club-to-follow-bands-at-11-pm\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Friday, August 23<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>From 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. tonight at <strong>Hedonist Artisan Chocolates<\/strong> is a <strong>Word Play: Chocolate Tasting<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hedonistchocolates.com\/catalog\/events.php\">Hedonist website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Starting at 8 p.m. at the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> is a screening of <strong>Reality<\/strong> (Matteo Garrone, Italy 2012, 116 min., Italian w\/ subtitles, 35mm).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Following his festival hit Gomorrah, a dark, gritty indictment of the Italian mob, rising director Garrone decided to lighten up, trying his hand at comedy. Based on the worldwide rise in popularity of reality television programs, Garrone's film follows Luciano, an Italian fishmonger whose desire to participate in the Italian version of Big Brother leads to a bizarre sequence of events that forces him to question the very idea of reality itself. While more lighthearted than Garrone's previous work, Reality maintains the director's penchant for witty cynicism and biting satire.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/06\/reality\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Infrared Radiation Orchestra<\/strong>, and great classic rock\/soul band <!-- 2012-Jul-20: Abilene --><strong>Anonymous Willpower<\/strong> perform tonight starting around 9 p.m. at the <strong>Lovin' Cup<\/strong> for both bands' <strong>CD Release Party<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/lovincup.com\/happenings\/details.php?id=1681\">Lovin' Cup website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> starting around 9 p.m. is <strong>West Fest: Day I<\/strong> with <strong>The Fevertones<\/strong>, effortlessly tight, fast, hard-pop-rock from <!-- 2011-Jun-18: Bug Jar-good pop-ish, punk-ish rock; also 2011-Jan-10, Bug Jar-effortlessly tight, fast, hard-pop-rock --><strong>Routine Involvements<\/strong>, <strong>A Dead Love Society<\/strong>, <strong>There I Say is Lightning<\/strong>, and gritty punk from <!-- 2012-Mar-10: The Meatgrinder-gritty punk --><strong>Envious Disguise<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/04\/rochester-ny-west-fest-day-i-the-fevertones-routine-involvements-a-dead-love-society-there-i-say-is-lightning-envious-disguise\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Saturday, August 24<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today from 10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. is the <strong>14th Annual Joe+n Day-Tour<\/strong> all around town, starting at <a href=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?hl=en&amp;ie=utf8&amp;ll=43.092209%2c-77.547255&amp;spn=0.007137%2c0.013175&amp;om=1\" target=\"_blank\"><strong>Erie Canal Lock 32<\/strong><\/a> with <strong>Mike Rhinheimer<\/strong>, <strong>Mike Turzanski<\/strong>, and <strong>Will Veeder<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/621867804501345\/\">Facebook<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 2 p.m., the <strong>Dryden<\/strong> is screening <strong>8 1\/2<\/strong> (Federico Fellini, Italy 1963, 138 min., Italian w\/ subtitles, 35mm).<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>The ultimate movie about movies, Fellini's masterpiece of visual storytelling melds memories, dreams, and reality into a complex tale of confidence, fear, and the pressures of the artist in the modern world. Director Guido Anselmi (Marcello Mastroianni) apathetically seeks inspiration and meaning in his own life as he prepares for his next project. Where the creative well seems to have dried up he begins to lie and grow unattached, creating in his own mind a labyrinth linking the past to the present, nightmares to reality, and work to life.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/06\/8-12\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><strong>The Michael Vadala Trio<\/strong>, good and unique acoustic soloist <!-- 2011-Jan-25: Bug Jar-uniquely good acoustic soloist, although his songs are a bit too long --><strong>Small Houses<\/strong>, <strong>Upward Groove<\/strong>, <strong>Lap Giraffe<\/strong>, and <strong>Cammy Enaharo<\/strong> perform at the Bug Jar tonight starting around 10:30 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/07\/rochester-ny-the-michael-vadala-trio-w-small-houses-upward-groove-lap-giraffe-cammy-enaharo\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Sunday, August 25<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Starting around 9 p.m. at the <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> tonight is <strong>Johanna Warren<\/strong>, good acoustic soloist <!-- 2006-Oct-19: Bug Jar-good acoustic soloist: a moderately rich voice with rather strummy guitar; although he holds his own with more technical songs --><strong>Nick Young<\/strong>, and <strong>Will Veeder<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/08\/rochester-ny-johanna-warren-w-nick-young-will-veeder-tba\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Monday, August 26<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tonight from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. in the <strong>Stardust Ballroom<\/strong> at the <strong>Edgerton Community Center<\/strong> (41 Backus St.) is a <strong>Voice of the Citizen Budgeting for Public Safety Meeting<\/strong>. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochestercitynewspaper.com\/rochester\/voice-of-the-citizen-budgeting-for-public-safety-meetings\/Event?oid=2261011\">City Newspaper events calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-20]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Tuesday, August 27<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The <strong>Dryden<\/strong> will screen <strong>Glen or Glenda<\/strong> (Ed Wood, U.S. 1953, 65 min., 35mm) tonight at 8 p.m.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Three years before his cult classic Plan 9 from Outer Space, Ed Wood wrote and directed this enigmatic, semi-autobiographical tale of a man torn between masculinity and femininity. The film vacillates between documentary, melodrama, and expressionist fervor, jumping between narrators, sub-plots, and dreamlike passages. A delirious challenge to restrictive gender norms, a plea for tolerance, and one man's naked confession to the world&mdash;all in the guise of an exploitation potboiler&mdash;glen or Glenda is perplexing, powerful, and, in its own way, moving.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/dryden.eastmanhouse.org\/films\/2013\/06\/glen-or-glenda\/\">Dryden website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>The <strong>Bug Jar<\/strong> will host great, harmonious acoustic from <!-- 2011-Jun-18: Bug Jar-great harmonious acoustic duo  --><strong>Underwater Tiger<\/strong>, and <strong>Poetry for Thieves<\/strong> starting around 9 p.m. <em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/bugjar.com\/2013\/07\/rochester-ny-underwater-tiger-w-poetry-for-thieves-tba-queen-frank-to-dj-following-bands-at-midnight\/\">Bug Jar calendar<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Wednesday, August 28<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Today from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m. in the <strong>Central Library<\/strong> <strong>Children's Center<\/strong> is a screening of <strong>Coraline<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>Based on Neil Gaiman's book, an adventurous girl finds another world that is a strangely idealized version of her frustrating home, but it has sinister secrets.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em>[source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www3.libraryweb.org\/eventsIndividual.aspx?id=481938\">Monroe County Library website<\/a>, 2013-Aug-19]<\/em><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color:red\">Updated<\/span>: The <strong>Rochester Improvement Society<\/strong> moved their meeting from the Little Cafe to <strong>Writers and Books<\/strong> from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. to coincide with a visit from Ithaca mayor <strong>Svante Myrick<\/strong> sponsored by <strong>Monroe County Young Democrats<\/strong>. <em>[source: Rochester Improvement Society e-mail, 2013-Aug-23]<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Tonight from 8 p.m. to 10 p.m. at the <strong>Tiger Statue<\/strong> (or the <strong>College of Liberal Arts Building #6, Room A201<\/strong> in case of rain) is a screening of <strong>Minecraft: The Story of Mojang<\/strong>.<br \/>\n<blockquote><p>WITR is changing gears and presenting 2 Player Productions movie \"Minecraft: The Story of Mojang\", and film about the making of one of the most popular and unique games of the past decade.

After wandering the desert, amnesiac Travis (Harry Dean Stanton) attempts to rekindle relationships with his brother, son, and estranged wife (Nastassja Kinski).
