The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Le quattro volte(The Four Times) starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 2 p.m. After drooling over the trailer screened at the Dryden the past few weeks, I've been greatly looking forward to this film. According to the Eastman House calendar, "an elderly shepherd, a goat, a tree, and a few lumps of coal serve as the humble basis for a simply told rumination on life in the southern Italian region of Calabria. Nothing much really 'happens' — an old man dies, a goat is born, a tree is felled — but by the end of its relatively brief running time, Frammartino's film reveals itself to be a small masterpiece of unexpected depth and extraordinary beauty, with a scope as wide as life itself."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Sasame-yuki(The Makioka Sisters) starting at 8 p.m. and again tomorrow at 4 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "four sisters — one of whom, according to tradition, cannot wed until her prim and painfully shy older sibling marries — find their lives changing slowly but irrevocably over the course of four seasons in the years before World War II."

The Bug Jar (219 Monroe Ave.) will be hosting good acoustic soloist Nick Young, excellent, deceptively mellow, complex rock-and-roll from Hinkley, and excellent acoustic pop-rock / bouncy alt-country band The Corrections starting around 10:30 p.m.

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Stachka(Strike) starting at 8 p.m. Dr. Philip C. Carli will provide live piano accompaniment to this film in which "the workers of the world unite in a forceful, brilliantly constructed film of labor triumphant against brutal factory owners, government inspectors, and police spies."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The Boston Strangler starting at 8 p.m. in which Tony Curtis "plays the real-life Boston plumber suspected of terrorizing an entire city." The Eastman House calendar continues by quoting James Gray, "this movie's use of multiple screens is lauded by film enthusiasts, and justifiably so. But that formal device may overshadow its greatest asset: a truly towering performance by Tony Curtis. In fact, Curtis is so astonishingly committed as Albert DeSalvo that one may take for granted its great act of generosity: Curtis has humanized a murderer, entirely without sentimentality."

This page is Jason Olshefsky's list of things to do in Rochester, NY and the surrounding region (including nearby towns Irondequoit, Webster, Penfield, Pittsford, Victor, Henrietta, Gates, Chili, Greece, and Charlotte, and occasionally other places in Monroe County and the Western New York region.) It is updated every week with daily listings for entertainment, activities, performances, movies, music, bands, comedy, improv, poetry, storytelling, lectures, discussions, debates, theater, plays, and generally fun things to do.
Music events are usually original bands with occasional cover bands and DJ's with musical styles including punk, emo, ska, swing, rock, rock-and-roll, alternative, metal, jazz, blues, noise band, experimental music, folk, acoustic, and "world-beat."
Events listed take place during the day, in the evenings, or as part of the city's nightlife as listed.
Although I'm reluctant to admit it, it is a Rochester blog and I'm essentially blogging about Rochester events.
I also tend to express opinions, review past events, make reviews, speak of philosophy or of a philosophical nature, discuss humanity and creativity.
Oh, and it's spelled JayceLand with no space and a capital L, not Jayce Land, Jaycee Land, Jace Land, Jase Land, Joyce Land, Jayce World, Jayceeland, Jaceland, Jaseland, Joyceland, Jayceworld, Jayceeworld, Jaceworld, Jaseworld, nor Joyceworld. (Now if you misspell it in some search engine, you at least get a shot at finding it.)
It's also not to be confused with
Jake's World or JakesWorld which is a site of a Rochester animator.
