    All the usual films you would expect (Godfather I and II) and all the good ones you've never heard of.

    If you've never been, parking is only $5 in the 600 Congress garage.  Not every summer, but I can usually find a double feature with one movie I want to see on the big screen at the Paramount.  If you don't want to stay for both, use the parking and hit a bar.

  3. "After attacking Japan, most of the aircrews flew on to Free China, where low on fuel, the men either bailed out or crash-landed along the coast and were rescued by local villagers, guerrillas and missionaries.  That generosity shown by the Chinese would trigger a horrific retaliation by the Japanese that claimed an estimated quarter-million lives and would prompt comparisons to the 1937-38 Rape of Nanking."

    "The severing of relations with the country of Nelson Mandela shouldn’t merely stir up sad thoughts about who Israel’s friends and critics are; South Africa, in a move that generates respect, is teaching Israel an important lesson about instilling the legacy of the past and learning its lessons. By cutting off ties with an occupying, apartheid state, it’s telling Israel: We’ve learned the lessons of our past. What about you?"
