MAHLER IN NEW YORK (2026) @ Cedar Lee Theater / Stone Oven

Wed, Oct 14 · 1:00 PM EDT

Cedar Lee Theatre, 2163 Lee Rd, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118, USA, Cleveland Heights, OH, US

Traces the final, transformative years of one of Europe’s most influential composers, who fled Vienna’s rising antisemitism to find artistic rebirth in Manhattan. Lush musical performances, rare archival materials, and insights from conductors, scholars, historians, and descendants—including the Cleveland Orchestra’s Franz Welser-Möst — illuminate a story of reinvention, belonging, and the enduring power of Mahler’s legacy.

You can see everything / Cedar Lee / Zoma

Sun, Oct 18 · 3:35 PM EDT

Cedar Lee Theatre, 2163 Lee Rd, Cleveland Heights, OH 44118, USA, Cleveland Heights, OH, US

Remember Elizabeth Holmes? Well kinda. This looks to be an interesting documentary on her life before prison.

EATS
As a group, we usually eat American. Zoma, is a very good Ethiopian restaurant worth visiting, Expand your horizons.
It is a 5 minute down Lee across the street.

DESCRIPTION
Thirty-four days before she’s sent to prison, notorious Silicon Valley founder Elizabeth Holmes invites a skeptical film crew to document her every move. What begins as an intimate portrait of an enigmatic felon becomes a mind-bending three-year journey into the abyss. From boundary-pushing directors Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim comes YOU CAN SEE EVERYTHING.
More details

REVIEW
The film is more than an extension of Fielder’s blending comedy and documentary with shows like The Rehearsal — it’s an evolution upon it. It asks everyone involved to look at themselves, and face the difference between perception and reality.
FULL REVIEW

Rotten Tomatoes: 100

Eye of the Devil (1966) an online zoom discussion

Eye of the Devil is a 1966 is my Halloween horror pick and starred Sharon Tate. What got me interested in this film is that it seems to be about a secret societies and Pagan rituals kind of like Eyes Wide Shut (1999). This film did not do good box office but it has a cult following. Thia is a British horror film that also stared David Niven and Deborah Kerr. This is a Monday night Zoom meetup to discuss Eye of the Devil. I will include the preview and the You Tube link to the film.
