Friday Night Flicks
Join an eclectic group of cinema fans as we view movies of various genre—many with a spiritual, moral, and/or philosophical message. Sometimes it is just plain fun or crazy entertainment! A lively group discussion often ensues after the viewing. The movies are shown on the first and third Friday of every month at 7:00 p.m. The location is the media room on the 7th floor of the Plymouth Towers Senior Residence on Lemon Street (about two blocks north of UUCR). Parking is on the street or in the rear of the building. Hope to see you there!

Come See the Paradise. Portraying one of the shadier details of American history, this is the story of Jack McGurn, who comes to Los Angeles in 1936. He gets a job at a movie theatre in Little Tokyo and falls in love with the boss's daughter, Lily Kawamura. When her father finds out, he is fired and forbidden ever to see her again. But together they escape to Seattle. When the war breaks out, the authorities decide that the Japanese immigrants must live in camps like war prisoners.
