SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - It's a Mad\, Mad\, Mad\, Mad World
DESCRIPTION:Smiler Grogan\, a recently released convict\, crashes his car on California State Route 74. With his dying breath\, Grogan tells a group of motorists who stop to help him about $350\,000 (equivalent to $3\,483\,261 in 2023) buried in Santa Rosita State Park under “a big W.” Failing to negotiate a satisfactory way to split the money\, the four cars begin a mad dash to the park\, having several mishaps along the way: \nMelville Crump\, a dentist on a second honeymoon with his wife Monica\, charters a rickety biplane to Santa Rosita. Despite arriving in Santa Rosita first\, they get locked in a hardware store’s basement. After several attempts to break out\, they blow out the wall of the basement with dynamite\, and hire a cab to get to the park.\nDing Bell and Benjy Benjamin\, two friends on their way to Las Vegas\, charter a small airplane. When their alcoholic pilot knocks himself out\, they struggle to land the plane themselves; once on the ground\, they also hire a cab to get to the park.\nJ. Russell Finch\, a businessman traveling with his wife Emmeline and her mother Mrs. Marcus\, crashes into the furniture truck of Lennie Pike\, another witness of Grogan’s crash. Finch persuades British Army Lieutenant Colonel J. Algernon Hawthorne to drive them to Santa Rosita. After a nasty argument\, Mrs. Marcus and Emmeline exit the car to hitch their own ride. Hawthorne crashes the car while driving through a tunnel\, and he and Finch come to blows.\nPike stops motorist Otto Meyer for a ride and tells him about the money; the greedy Meyer decides to search for the treasure himself\, and abandons Pike\, convincing two service station attendants to detain him. Pike destroys the station\, steals a tow truck\, and picks up Mrs. Marcus and Emmeline. Mrs. Marcus calls her son Sylvester\, who lives close to Santa Rosita\, but he misunderstands and drives to meet her. Eventually\, the group reunites with Russell and Hawthorne\, and continues to head to the park.\nMeyer stops to help a stranded miner get back to his very rural cabin. Trying to get back to the highway\, Meyer fails at crossing a deep river and his car is swept away\, leading him to steal another motorist’s car.\nMeanwhile\, Santa Rosita Police Captain T. G. Culpeper\, hoping to tie up the Grogan case before his impending retirement\, secretly has the motorists shadowed throughout their various adventures. After a furious argument with his wife and daughter\, Culpeper learns that his pension will be a pittance and has a mental breakdown. \nThe entire group\, now consisting of fourteen people\, arrives at Santa Rosita at nearly the same time\, and searches frantically for the “big W”\, which turns out to be a gathering of four palm trees. Culpeper arrives shortly after and observes the group.  After the group digs up a suitcase full of cash\, Culpeper identifies himself and informs the group that they are wanted by the police. He convinces them to turn themselves in and hope for leniency. \nThe motorists realize that Culpeper is not returning to the police station with them\, but is stealing the money for himself. The men chase him into an abandoned building and onto a rickety fire escape\, which starts to collapse under them. The briefcase containing the money falls open\, scattering the cash to the wind. When Culpeper and the men all pile onto a fire department ladder sent to rescue them\, their combined weight causes it to spin uncontrollably and fling them all off\, leaving them heavily injured. \nIn the prison hospital\, the men bemoan the loss of the money and blame their injuries on Culpeper\, who responds that due to his lost pension (which his boss had successfully negotiated back\, thus making his illegal actions unnecessary)\, the ruined relationship with his family\, and the likelihood that the judge will probably give him the harshest sentence\, he may never laugh again. Mrs. Marcus\, flanked by Emmeline and Monica\, enters and begins berating the men\, only for her to slip on a banana peel and fall. All the men except Sylvester roar with laughter\, and\, after a brief hesitation\, Culpeper joins in.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - Brazil
DESCRIPTION:This month writer Clinton Phillips has chosen Terry Gilliam’s 1985 classic visionary Orwellian fantasy\, dark comedy\, that’s filled with strange\, imaginative visuals. \nThe film won 2 BAFTA’s – Best Production Design and Special Effects. And it was nominated for 2 Oscars – Best Writing and best Art Direction. \nDirected by Terry Gilliam \nStarring Michael Palin\, Peter Vaughan\, Kim Greist\, Katherine Helmond\, Ian Richardson\, Robert De Niro\, Ian Holm\, Jim Broadbent\, Bob Hoskins\, Jonathan Pryce \nTickets only $10!\nHappy Hour drinks from 7pm.\nScreening 8:00pm. \n‘In the dystopian masterpiece BRAZIL\, Jonathan Pryce plays a daydreaming everyman who finds himself caught in the soul-crushing gears of a nightmarish bureaucracy. This cautionary tale by Terry Gilliam\, one of the great films of the 1980s\, has come to be esteemed alongside antitotalitarian works by the likes of George Orwell\, Aldous Huxley\, and Kurt Vonnegut Jr. And in terms of set design\, cinematography\, music\, and effects\, BRAZIL is a nonstop dazzler.’

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - In The Heat Of The Night
DESCRIPTION:Each month ShowNews presents a film at Academy Cinemas picked by a special film industry guest.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy – STRANGER THAN PARADISE
DESCRIPTION:Director Josh Frizzell will present Jim Jarmusch’s 1984 comedy Stranger Than Paradise.  \nStarring John Lurie\, Eszter Balint\, Richard Edson\, Cecillia Stark\nRated PG\n89 minutes \nThe film is an assembly of 67 shots (as opposed to the 1200+ common in a feature)\, all with live sound\, making it possibly the easiest edit in the history of features.  \nWith this breakout film\, Jim Jarmusch established himself as one of the most exciting voices in the burgeoning independent-film scene\, a road-movie poet with an affinity for Americana at its most offbeat. Jarmusch follows rootless Hungarian émigré Willie (John Lurie)\, his pal Eddie (Richard Edson)\, and his visiting sixteen-year-old cousin\, Eva (Eszter Balint)\, as they drift from New York’s Lower East Side to the snowy expanses of Lake Erie and the drab beaches of Florida\, always managing to make the least of wherever they end up. Structured as a series of master-shot vignettes etched in black and white by cinematographer Tom DiCillo\, STRANGER THAN PARADISE is a nonchalant masterpiece of deadpan comedy and perfectly calibrated minimalism. See less \nCheck out the trailer here\, and Join us on Tuesday 29 April. \nHappy Hour drinks from 7:00 pm.\nScreening 8:15 pm.\n$10 Tickets!

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962)
DESCRIPTION:Directed by John Ford \nStarring Vera Miles\, James Stewart\, John Wayne\, Lee Marvin\, John Carradine \nCome along and hear Chris Short introduce John Ford’s Oscar-nominated western\, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance\, starring John Wayne\, James Stewart and Lee Marvin as Liberty. \nWhy this film? Because the screening is a tribute to Lee Tamahori\, and the film was a favourite of his – in fact it was the last film he watched before passing away last month. The Academy will be donating the evening’s takings to the Vista Foundation. \n“Director Ford brings us to the lawless frontier village of Shinbone\, a town plagued by a larger-than-life nemesis\, Liberty Valance (Marvin). Stewart plays the bungling but charming big-city lawyer determined to rid Shinbone of Valance\, and he finds that he has an unlikely ally in the form of a rugged local rancher (Wayne). The two men also share the same love interest (Miles). But when the final showdown becomes inevitable\, one of the two will attempt to get the gunman . . . and the other one will wind up getting the gal.”
