Thursday, October 20 - A Day Without A Mexican - Rated R - Under 18 not allowed.

One morning California wakes up to find that one third of it's population has disappeared. A thick fog surrounds the State and communication outside it's boundaries is completely cut off. As the day goes by, we discover that the characteristic that links the 14 million disappeared is their Hispanic background.

Discussion following the movie will be outstanding and will address the following concepts:
Growing Influence of Hispanic Culture
Illegal Immigration
Stereotyping
Cultural Competence

We'll make popcorn and have a few extra treats available. Bring your own (non-alcoholic) beverage if you want something other than water or caffeine-free soft drinks.

Seating is limited, so reserve your spot NOW!

*(It is each professional's responsibility to determine if a structured discussion about a mental health topic, lead by a licensed psychologist, will qualify as continuing education. It counts as Level II CE's for Arizona psychologists.)

Future offerings will include:

Nov. 10 - I Heart Huckabees - An existential comedy, I Heart Huckabees dares to ponder life's biggest questions. We focus on the unlikely pairing of an environmentalist (Jason Schwartzman) and a firefighter (Mark Wahlberg) as they depend on existential detectives (Lily Tomlin, Dustin Hoffman) and a French nihilist (Isabelle Huppert) to make sense of their existential crises, brought on (respectively) by a two-faced chain-store executive (Jude Law) and his spokesmodel girlfriend (Naomi Watts). I Heart Huckabees is an audacious mess, like life itself, and accepting that is the key to enjoying both.

Dec. 15 -K-Pax- Jeff Bridges plays a psychiatrist who thinks he's seen it all until he's assigned to analyze Prot (Kevin Spacey), a patient who claims to be from a planet called K-PAX. Powell is convinced that Prot is delusional, but his cynicism turns to fascination as Prot's case reveals a combination of otherworldly insight and all-too-human trauma, prompting an earthbound explanation for Prot's allegedly alien origins.

Jan. 19 - Monster - Charlize Theron vanishes into the role of Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute who murdered at least seven men. Monster traces her relationship with a young woman (Christina Ricci), which intertwines with the murder spree. The movie finds compassion for Wuornos but unflinchingly faces her brutal crimes; Theron expresses this woman's horrific history without softening her terrifying, dead-eyed stare.

Feb. 9 - King of Hearts
Mar. 16 - Save the Date
