  Special 25th Drafthouse Anniversary Event
Hitting the comedy club stage at nineteen is not the best way to succeed in life. Every turn has to work or you end up on an off ramp holding a 'Will work for food' Sign. Christopher Titus never stopped working at bringing the funny. In the twenty years he has performed he has headlined comedy clubs around the country, written, starred and executive produced a hit TV show, and is one of the few comics ever to have a ninety minute comedy special air on two different networks. Christopher Titus has never shied away from subject matter. In his first stand up show,”Norman Rockwell is bleeding” he destroyed the Hallmark card definition of family and brought it into a real place. The material included in the show covers everything from his mother's mental illness to his father's alcoholism to his ex-girlfriend that used to punch him in the face along with his mother shooting and killing her last husband. Yes, it's funny as hell and can make you shake your head at the same time. “Hard funny is what I go for” Titus says, “It's the kind of joke where you laugh first because you cant help it then you look around to make sure it's OK to laugh.

 (PG) (109 min) Walt Disney Studios, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the creators of the "National Treasure" franchise, present THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE -- an innovative and epic comedy adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.
Balthazar Blake (NICOLAS CAGE) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (ALFRED MOLINA). Balthazar can't do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (JAY BARUCHEL), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It'll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE.

 (R) (152 min) Forty years ago, Harriet Vanger disappeared from a family gathering on the island owned and inhabited by the powerful Vanger clan. Her body was never found, yet her beloved uncle is convinced it was murder and that the killer is a member of his own tightly knit but dysfunctional family. He employs disgraced financial journalist Mikael Blomkvist (Michael Nyqvist) and the tattooed and troubled but resourceful computer hacker Lisbeth Salander (Noomi Rapace) to investigate. When the pair link Harriet’s disappearance to a number of grotesque murders from almost forty years ago, they begin to unravel a dark and appalling family history. But the Vanger’s are a secretive clan, and Blomkvist and Salander are about to find out just how far they are prepared to go to protect themselves.
Author Stieg Larsson, who died suddenly in 2004, left behind three unpublished novels, known as the "Millennium" trilogy, which have become a global sensation, elevating Larsson to the world’s second best-selling author last year (behind "The Kite Runner"’s Khaled Hosseini). "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" is one of the decade’s major literary success stories, selling over 8,000,000 copies worldwide and the film adaptation is the highest grossing Swedish film in history and 2009’s highest-grossing European production.

 Doug Benson & Graham Elwood - Two Headliner Comics for the Price of One!
It would take too long to cite all of his credits, but here’s a small sampling: He has his own documentary called Super High Me based on a joke from his standup act. It’s available on DVD! How does a little show called NBC’s Last Comic Standing grab you? Fact: he finished top six in the 2007 season, no big deal. Doug is a series regular on VH1’s Best Week Ever. He also makes recurring appearances on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. His second Comedy Central Presents half-hour special premiered in January ’09. He had the nerve to hit on Jennifer Aniston on the classic sitcom Friends, is a character on The Sarah Silverman Program, and oops, almost forgot, got Larry David in a headlock on HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm. If that’s not enough for you, he’s a creator/writer/star of The Marijuana-Logues, a show that’s been a hit (small pun intended) in clubs and theatres from Los Angeles to New York – and drew a bongload of rave reviews. Now there’s a CD, also called The Marijuana-Logues, and a book, The Marijuana-Logues: Everything About Pot That We Could Remember. In 2006, High Times Magazine named him Stoner of the Year. Doug also expresses his love of movies on his I Love Movies podcasts (available on iTunes). Enough about Doug Benson already!
Graham Elwood
High-Octane good times are had by all when Graham Elwood hits the stage. A 2nd degree yellow belt in karate, Elwood has the strength and skill to fight a puppy and the elderly. Some of Graham’s TV apparences are “The Late Late Show” on CBS, “The Sarah Silverman Program” on Comedy Central. As a game show host on tier 3 cable. He was also seen in “Super High Me,” and “The High Road, ” on G4.

Told from an insider’s perspective, the film goes behind the scenes of the daily battles and all out wars that dominate one of America’s favorite industries.

The story is told through 2 of these entrepreneurs – Sam and Rhonda – battling the might and tactics of Corporate America. We witness their struggle to achieve their American Dream in an industry dominated by powerful corporations unwilling to cede an inch.
This contemporary David and Goliath story is ultimately about keeping your integrity (and your family’s home) in the face of temptation.

Lou: You want a Pepsi, PAL, you're gonna pay for it.
2) Make sense? Who cares! It takes 88 miles an hour to go back in time? Yup!
