Various locations
Opens Oct. 3
The new independent film revolves around a group of college
buddies reviving their friendships after they’ve all been in
the working world for a bit. But here’s the catch:
They’re trying to pull off a huge bank heist. And if
that’s not interesting enough, Jennifer Garner has an
extended cameo.
“Prey for Rock and Roll”
Laemmle Sunset 5 Theatre
Open now
Who wouldn’t want to watch Gina Gershon play an aspiring
rock star in 1980s Los Angeles? OK, don’t answer that. Still,
original music by Stephen Trask (“Hedwig and the Angry
Inch”) makes this film interesting enough. Never
underestimate the power of a man who helped write a musical about
the survivor of a botched sex-change operation. Never.
“Shane”
The Egyptian Theatre
Oct. 8, 7:30 p.m.
It’s been 50 years since “Shane” was
originally released, so it must be time for an anniversary
screening. American Cinematheque is giving it the full treatment,
showing a new 35 mm print, followed by a Q&A with George
Stevens Jr., son of director George Stevens. Yee haw!
