***👑 In a world filled with hate, the King of Pop still dared to hope, to inspire, and to make a difference*** 🕺🏾 **👋 Hello guys!** Let’s hear it for the King of Pop in this upcoming musical biographical drama directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan. The film will follow the life of **Michael Jackson**, with his nephew **Jaafar Jackson** taking on the lead role. Early footage has already drawn attention thanks to his striking resemblance and his natural ability to capture Michael’s iconic stage presence and dance moves. The story is expected to offer a broad and balanced look at Jackson’s life, following his journey from the **Jackson 5** to becoming one of the most famous entertainers in the world, while also touching on the more difficult and complex parts of his story. **The Plan:** is to start out at the **Look Dine-In Bar** (far end, past the box office) for casual drinks and chat. Then we’ll head over to **PX** **Screen 1**, where we'll be seated at **D11-D13**, but you can pick where ever it suits you best. After the film, we’ll regroup for the commentary and **[Letterboxd](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)**[ ](https://letterboxd.com/movieroadhouse/)Review.

In one of his finest performances, James Mason stars as IRA leader Johnny McQueen, who ends up gravely wounded after a botched robbery and is forced to wander alone through the shadowy, labyrinthine streets of post-war Belfast—a hunted animal seeking solace where none is given. Brilliantly directed by Carol Reed (The Third Man), Odd Man Out stands as one of the greatest British noirs of all time. ■ Title — Odd Man Out ■ Director — Carol Reed ■ Cast — James Mason, Robert Newton, Kathleen Ryan, Cyril Cusack ■ Rating: Not Rated ■ ©1947 | 1hr 56 mins | British Film Noir

"The SOB is a ballet dancer. He’s the best ballet dancer that ever lived, and if I get a good chance I’ll kill him with my bare hands." - W.C. Fields In *City Lights*, Chaplin's Little Tramp meets a blind girl selling flowers who mistakes him for a wealthy man. When he learns that an operation may restore her sight, he sets off to earn the money she needs to have the surgery. He also befriends an alcoholic millionaire who only recognizes him when he is drunk. When the blind girl and her grandmother fall behind in the rent and face eviction, he tries working and even enters a boxing competition to raise the money they need. Regarded as Chaplin's masterpiece, *City Lights* has been ranked on more than seventeen "100 greatest movies of all time" lists. Orson Welles cited it as his favorite picture. *City Lights* is available for streaming on Amazon Prime, Hulu, HBOMax, Tubi and PlutoTV. The Columbus Library lists three copies on blu-ray and eight copies on DVD. Watch the movie on your own, then join us upstairs at East Market to discuss the film.
