 You may have noticed in this year's BLEAK WEEK films, a consistent theme of humans barely holding on. In the case of the last couple entries of this year's offerings that desperation takes center stage with a resilience that belies all that gloom. LEAVING LAS VEGAS was a celebrated movie in 1995 with a pitch black center but a bittersweet love story that rocked audiences. Decades before THEY SHOOT HORSES DON'T THEY? had a similar feverish need for finding a way out that still stuns audiences today. But overall CINEMA OF DESPAIR will be over soon! So make you're way HERE!!
 Some sci-fi classics ramp up for STEVEN SPIELBERG's DISCLOSURE DAY starts this week, so you might as well check out CLOSE ENCOUNTERS and E.T. to get the engine warm as part of the SERIES. ROBOCOP tries to SAVE CITY HALL and the USUAL SUSPECTS gets a visit from composer JOHN OTTMAN. If that weren't enough, we've got the touring comedy show HEROES OFF DUTY swinging through town this fall so you can grab a PRESALE deal available HERE using the code "HEROES" starting THUR 10am! -- JR
