Nacho Libre

From Jared Hess, the offbeat mind behind Napoleon Dynamite, comes the legendary story of a Mexican monk who moonlighted as a luchador — Nacho Libre!

Jack Black stars as Ignacio, a monastery cook with big dreams of wrestling glory. By day, he tends to orphans with meager meals and modest means, but by night, he dons a homemade mask and cape to become “Nacho” – a bumbling yet big-hearted fighter who enters the chaotic world of Lucha Libre. Teaming up Esqueleto (Héctor Jiménez), a wiry street thief with zero wrestling skills but plenty of scrappy determination (and a firm belief in science), Nacho must balance his secret life in the ring with his devotion to the children he cares for, all while chasing respect, redemption, and the heart of the beautiful Sister Encarnación (Ana de la Reguera).

Wildly silly yet surprisingly sincere, Nacho Libre is a raucous underdog tale full of slapstick humor, colorful characters, and Jack Black at his most gloriously unhinged.

10 Things I Hate About You + She's The Man + Easy A: Back To School Triple Feature

Class is back in session with our Back to School Triple Feature featuring high school classics 10 Things I Hate About You, She’s The Man, and Easy A! Whether you’re a theater kid, a jock, or the queen of the rumor mill, this syllabus has something for everyone.

First Period: 10 Things I Hate About You
It’s Verona High, baby—where detention is a battlefield, prom is war, and dating is a full-contact sport. Julia Stiles is the no-nonsense Kat Stratford, and Heath Ledger is the bad-boy-with-a-heart-of-gold hired to win her over. Loosely based on The Taming of the Shrew, this late-‘90s rom-com is a can’t-miss classic. You’ll hate how much you love it.

Second Period: She’s the Man
Get ready for gender-swapping hijinks, soccer tryouts, and one extremely confused Channing Tatum. Amanda Bynes is Viola, who enrolls in an elite boarding school disguised as her twin brother to prove that girls can kick it just as hard as the boys. Inspired by Twelfth Night, this 2000s gem is absurdly quotable.

Third Period: Easy A
Nathaniel Hawthorne meets high school gossip in this whip-smart modern spin on The Scarlet Letter. Emma Stone broke out big as Olive Penderghast, a straight-A student who leans into the rumor mill and reinvents herself as the school’s most infamous non-it-girl. With a hilarious script, heart-of-gold parents, and a Ferris Bueller-style narration that never lets up, Easy A will get you the extra credit you’re looking for!

Doors open at 5:00PM and the movies begin at 6:00PM. $20 gets you access to all three films back-to-back-to-back!

Tenebrae

Dario Argento returned to the giallo in 1982 with Tenebrae, his most brutal, self-reflexive, and psychologically unhinged film to date. An American crime novelist arrives in Rome to promote his latest book, only to find that someone is using his fiction as a blueprint for real murders. What follows is a labyrinth of voyeurism, doubles, obsession, and bloodletting—crafted with icy precision and wicked intelligence.

Featuring some of Argento’s most audacious set pieces (including the now-legendary crane shot over a building façade) and a pulsing electronic score by Goblin members under the name Simonetti-Morante-Pignatelli, Tenebrae is a postmodern slasher steeped in chrome, glass, and guilt.

A strangely prophetic film in many ways, Tenebrae asks: when the line between creator and killer vanishes, who’s really holding the knife?
