Surprise: it’s going to rain this weekend. Hide from the monocloud while you’re inside a movie theater, watching one of these films recommended by our critics. Plus, find complete listings for movie times on our Things To Do calendar.
1. East Side Sushi
“Ostensibly, East Side Sushi is about a journey from being a skilled home cook to an assistant cook at a Japanese restaurant. The main character wants to become a sushi chef, but because she is the ‘wrong’ race and gender, she meets with resistance…. Director Anthony Lucero shows us exactly what it means to be poor in America.” –Angela Garbes
2. Fantasia 75th Anniversary
“Fantasia? The stoner’s delight. Take some drugs, flop in your seat, look up at the screen, and see those magical horses flying around the clouds and palace. Very trippy. And it’s kind of cool for stoners to appropriate a kids’ flick, a film for the innocent, a family values film.” –Charles Mudede
