We have a helluva wknd of films coming up @ @thelittletheatre.bsky.social! Indie baseball drama; Naomi/Bill/GreatDane; a lost Charles Burnett! Erin Brockovich 25th; Ocean’s Eleven 35mm; Ultimate Frisbee indie doc (w/ GRADA & director Q&A); classic Gershwin/Kelly (w/ JCC); cool Japan anime! WOW! #ROC

Film posters for “The Friend” (Naomi Watts and Bill Murray look concerned while a Great Dane looms in the foreground); “Eephus” (the title is in a waving pennant, and baseball players in circles dot the poster, designed to look like a baseball card); “The Annihilation of Fish” shows a soft, rain-and-foggy park with Lynn Redgrave and James Earl Jones holding umbrellas.

A desktop, scattered with office files, envelopes, and mismatched papers; case files, sunglasses, paper clips, as well as photographs, poker chips, and a blueprint of the Bellagio hotel and casino in Las Vegas. The text reads: “A Brockobros presentation of a Saturday Soderbergh Spectacular. Saturday, April 5, 2025. Erin Brockovich at 4:30pm, 25th Anniversary. Ocean’s Eleven at 8:00pm, screening on 35mm film. Tickets at thelittle.org.”

Posters for 3 films: “Ultimate Citizens” depicts a man holding a frisbee, and some young students watching him, all in bright colors meant to show energy; “An American in Paris” some hand painted typography of the title on a red, white, and blue French flag, with Gene Kelly, arms outstretched and dancing; “TEKKONKINKREET” is a hand-drawn illustration that shows two boys excitedly flying across a blue sky, while the busy city is laid out below them.

As another bonus #Oscars    illustration I had to give recognition to the beautiful film '#Flow' by @gintszilbalodis.bsky.social. This one stood out for its unique approach to storytelling using only animals with no dialogue. Best Animated Feature Nominee 2025: Flow #Oscars2025

Jonathan Glazer’s (Under the Skin, The Zone of Interest) uncomfortable, dreamy “Birth” starring Nicole Kidman is screening TONIGHT (Wed 2/19) on 35mm film at @thelittletheatre.bsky.social as part of our “Winter Wednesdays” series. Tix & details at: thelittle.org/birth/ (con’t)

UK Quad poster for Jonathan Glazer’s film “Birth.” Nicole Kidman’s face — questioning, concerned — looms large over a winter scene of trees with bare branches behind her. Pull-quotes include “Fantastic”, “Sleek and intelligent, four stars” and “A must-see.”

14. Watch movie credits. All of them. First, why not take a moment to digest what you saw? Second, show the crew some love. Third, you’ll learn about the music and locations. Fourth, you never know if there will be a post-credits scene.
