Miss Sharon Jones!

UPDATE: After nearly a month's delay, we'll finally screen Miss Sharon Jones! this Friday, January 13th, at our place. Showtime at 7:30--stop by around 7 for drinks and snacks.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I know Sunset Boulevard is next on the list, but I want to invoke executive privilege and bump that back a week so we can watch Miss Sharon Jones! (2015) on Friday. This documentary by Barbara Kopple is about the amazing soul singer who passed away just last month from pancreatic cancer.

Yuriko and I were lucky enough to see Sharon Jones & the Dap Kings perform a couple times--once in Wilmington and once in Philadelphia--and we were blown away by her talent, energy, and humanity. In honor of her memory, let's watch this feature-length documentary about her struggle and her artistry.

Showtime:
Friday, January 13th
Matt and Yuriko's place
Drinks and snacks at 7pm
Movie at 7:30pm

Margin Call

After several film outings, movie night finally returns to Oak Lane this Friday.

Yuriko and I will be hosting for Margin Call (2011), a dramatic look at panicking investment bankers in the moments leading up to the 2008 financial crisis.

If that doesn't sound sexy enough for you, consider the impressive cast: Kevin Spacey, Paul Bettany, Zachary Quinto (Spock!), and Stanley Tucci. (Aren't there any women in this movie? Oh yeah: Demi Moore.)

Here's the trailer:

So that's Friday, December 9th, Matt and Yuriko's place
Snacks and drinks at 7:00; movie starts at 7:30.
Hope you can make it!
