FILM—Back in the early ’80s, Shogun
Assassin flickered on the tattered screens of America’s grindhouse theaters. These days, Shogun Assassin‘s perfect blend of bloody violence and heartwarming sentiment has earned it a reputation as one of the great samurai cinema classics—and tonight, the Hollywood Theatre’s got it on 35mm.

THEATER—Fact: Nobody puts Baby in the corner—or keeps her confined to the screen either, because here comes the touring
musical production of the Patrick Swayze classic Dirty Dancing. Yes, Baby carries around a watermelon. Yes, they sing “Hungry Eyes.” And yes, they do “the lift.” Admit it—the soccer mom inside you is dying to go. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY
