Everyone deserves a chance to follow their dreams, but some people only get one shot. Tyler Gage is a rebel from the wrong side of Baltimore's tracks - and the only thing that stands between him and an unfulfilled life are his dreams of one day making it out of there. Nora is a privileged ballet dancer attending Baltimore's ultra-elite Maryland School of the Arts - and the only thing standing in the way of her obviously brilliant future is finding a great dance partner for her senior showcase. When trouble with the law lands Tyler with a community service gig at Maryland School of the Arts, he arrives as an angry outsider, until his skills as a gifted street dancer draw Nora's attention.

Now, as sparks fly between them, both on and off stage, Tyler realizes he has just one performance to prove that he can step up to a life far larger than he ever imagined. Featuring the directorial debut of leading choreographer Anne Fletcher, the film also stars R&B superstar Mario, Drew Sidora as well as rap legend Heavy D.

Cleveland Heep has been quietly trying to disappear among the burned-out lightbulbs and broken appliances of the Cove apartment complex. But on the night that irrevocably changes his life, Cleveland finds someone else hiding in the mundane routine of the modest building, a mysterious young woman named Story, who has been living in the passageways beneath the building's swimming pool.

Cleveland discovers that Story is actually a "narf" a nymph-like character from an epic bedtime story who is being stalked by vicious creatures determined to prevent her from making the treacherous journey from our world back to hers.

A Scanner DarklyA Scanner Darkly Screening Quiz & Contest
Wednesday, July 12th @ 9:30pm @ The Mayan Theater (1st & Broadway)

Starring: Keanu Reeves, Robert Downey Jr., Woody Harrelson, and Winona Ryder.

"For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known."  -- 1 Corinthians 13:12

Location: Suburban Orange County, California.
Time: The near future.

America's endless and futile war on drugs has become on and the same with its war on terror. Reluctant undercover cop Bob Arctor orders to start spying on his friends, Jim Barris, Ernie Luckman, Donna Hawthorne and Charles Freck. When he is directed to step up the surveillance on himself, he is launched on a paranoid journey into the absurd, where identities an loyalties are impossible to decode.

Based on the legendary science-fiction author Philip K. Dick's own experiences, "A Scanner Darkly" tells the darkly comedic, but deeply tragic tale of drug use in the modern world. The film plays like a graphic novel come to life with live-action photography overlaid with an advanced animation process - a method known as interpolated rotoscoping, first employed in writer/director Richard Linklater's 2001 film "Waking Life" - to create a haunting version of America, seven years from now.

This movie is rated R. You must be at least 17 years of age to play for tickets.
