SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - Who Framed Roger Rabbit
DESCRIPTION:Directed by Robert Zemeckis \nStarring Christopher Lloyd\, Joanna Cassidy\, Charles Fleischer\, Bob Hoskins \nEach month ShowNews presents a film at Academy Cinemas picked by a special film industry guest. For October\, the chosen film is the beloved animation-live-action masterpiece WHO FRAMED ROGER RABBIT? Chosen especially by Academy Cinemas regular Rosemary Woodman\, a former animator herself! \nTickets only $10!\nHappy Hour drinks from 7pm.\nScreening 8:15pm. \nIt’s 1947 Hollywood\, and Eddie Valiant (Bob Hoskin\, THE LONG GOOD FRIDAY)\, a down-on-his-luck detective\, is hired to find proof that Marvin Acme\, gag factory mogul and owner of Toontown\, is playing hanky-panky with femme fatale Jessica Rabbit\, wife of Maroon Cartoon superstar Roger Rabbit. When Acme is found murdered\, all fingers point to Roger\, and the sinister\, power-hungry Judge Doom (Christopher Lloyd\, BACK TO THE FUTURE) is on a mission to bring Roger to justice. Roger begs the Toon-hating Valiant to find the real evildoer and the plot thickens as Eddie uncovers scandal after scandal and realizes the very existence of Toontown is at stake! \nThis multi-Oscar(R) winner (Best Film Editing\, Best Sound Effects Editing\, Best Visual Effects\, Special Achievement In Animation Direction\, 1988) is deliciously outrageous fun the whole family will enjoy.

SUMMARY:A Tell-Tale Heart\, campaign closing
DESCRIPTION:Gianni Ranzuglia’s short adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe’s gripping short story The Tell-Tale Heart. \nThis dark\, intense and suspenseful tale follows the descent of a man into madness\, as he becomes obsessed with the vulture-like eye of an old man he cares for. Driven by his paranoia and guilt\, he ultimately commits a horrific act\, only to find himself increasingly haunted by his own conscience\, and the psychological torment that follows. \nThe Tell-Tale Heart is a gothic tragedy that explores themes of repressed guilt\, paranoia\, and the human capacity for self-deception. Our goal is to stay true to the original story while bringing a fresh visual interpretation that will resonate with contemporary audiences. The focal point of view being the self-deceiving\, darkly twisted and menacing intensity of the young protagonist.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - Big Wednesday
DESCRIPTION:Directed by John Milius \nStarring Gary Busey\, William Katt\, Jan-Michael Vincent\, Patti D’Arbanville\, Lee Purcell \nEach month ShowNews presents a film at Academy Cinemas picked by a special film industry guest. For August\, the chosen film is the 70s surfing buddy flick BIG WEDNESDAY! \nTickets only $10!\nHappy Hour drinks from 7pm.\nScreening 8:15pm. \nNo matter what rolled in on the tides of time\, California surfing buddies Matt\, Jack and Leory knew they’d stick together. And that they’d be ready when a rare 20-foot swell hit the coast at last. BIG WEDNESDAY celebrates surfing as much as the most dedicated kid who ever waxed a board. It’s also a fascinating 1962-1974 chronicle of friendships and lifestyles in transition. John Milius (APOCALYPSE NOW\, RED DAWN) directs and co-scripts with a passion for the ultimate ride and a truthful feel for those turbulent times.  \nStars Jan-Michael Vincent and William Katt are accomplished surfers; colead Gary Busey (POINT BREAK\, 1991) learned for the role. And the vivid camerawork drops you inside awesome barrels of ocean blue.

SUMMARY:ShowNews Academy - Brewster McCloud
DESCRIPTION:Each month ShowNews presents a film at Academy Cinemas picked by a special film industry guest. For July\, Production Designer Mike Becroft has chosen a hidden gem from legendary American director Robert Altman’s (NASHVILLE\, THE LONG GOODBYE\, McCABE & MRS MILLER) early career: BREWSTER McCLOUD!\nTickets only $10!\nHappy Hour drinks from 7pm.\nScreening 8:30pm.\nDirected by Robert Altman\nStarring Stacy Keach\, Bud Cort\, Sally Kellerman\, René Auberjonois\, Shelley Duvall\, Michael Murphy\nRated R16\n105 minutes | Classic\nBrewster McCloud (Bud Cort) lives deep within the cavernous underground of the Houston Astrodome\, but his dreams rise much higher. He aims to fly. Not in a plane. But with strapped-on wings he’s designing – encouraged by a mysterious woman (Sally Kellerman) who may be his guardian angel. But BREWSTER McCLOUD\, Robert Altman’s wild\, anarchic cult fave\, isn’t about dreams as much as it is about the highs and lows of humanity. It’s a serial-killer mystery. A frenetic car-chase flick. A crazy circus-finale comedy. Shelley Duvall debuts as the tour guide whose seduction of Brewster may lead to his undoing. Ah\, love. The thing that at once shapes and unravels us. The thing that may or may not give us wings
