Cowabunga, dudes! The original live-action Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is still a radical good time, full of pizza, ninja moves, and ‘90s attitude. Join Leonardo, Michelangelo, Donatello, and Raphael as they take on Shredder and the Foot Clan in this gritty, goofy, and totally tubular big-screen adventure. Perfect for kids—and for the grown-ups who were kids when this hit theaters.

Pagan event to discuss topics and create community in the Central Arkansas Area. Come have fun and some coffee, tea, water!

From the Director: One of my favorite paintings is The Railway by Edouard Manet - both the piece and the artist have fascinated me for some time. Naturally I was delighted therefore when I heard that our good friends at the Royal Academy of Arts in London had decided to hold an exhibition of Manet’s portraits.

Manet is such an intriguing personality – on the one hand a relatively bourgeois individual who liked to dress well but, on the other, sometimes quite unpredictable and even scandalous. He loved his swiftly evolving Paris but also seemed to worry about how it was changing. He brings us modernity while clearly feeling nostalgic for the past too. He’s an impressionist in many ways and yet never exhibited with them – and certainly ignored their dictate to avoid the use of black. A show that concentrates on portraits is a wonderful way to enter into his biography – to meet his friends, family and favorite models. It also offers us a clear narrative – his life story.

To many he is perhaps the greatest, most significant, of the revolutionary band of artists at the middle and end of the 19th century. I hope this film offers more than a glimpse of why that is the case.
