The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing We Can't Go Home Again starting at 8 p.m. and again on Sunday at 5 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "'Directed' by Nicholas Ray, this largely improvised, highly experimental film was actually produced over the course of several years by some 45 students at SUNY Binghamton's Harpur College, where Ray taught film in the early '70s. Screened as a work-in-progress to a baffled Cannes audience in 1973, the film remained unfinished until Ray's widow, Susan Ray, reconstructed the film in time for inclusion at the 2011 Venice Film Festival. Today this daring formal experiment stands as both a fascinating failure and an invaluable document of its time, and remains essential viewing for anyone remotely interested in Ray or the possibilities of filmmaking."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing Somewhere in Time starting at 8 p.m. According to the Eastman House calendar, "after he finds her portrait hanging in the Grand Hotel, Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) becomes obsessed with early 20th-century actress Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour). Smitten, Collier attempts to conquer time from his room, determined to will himself back to 1912 and the woman he loves. Ignored upon release, Somewhere in Time steadily and justifiably became a cult film, even inspiring an annual convention."

The Dryden Theater at George Eastman House (900 East Ave.) will be showing The King of Marvin Gardens starting at 8 p.m. in which Jack Nicholson "plays a Philadelphia-based radio host called to Atlantic City by his shady brother (Bruce Dern) to help develop a deluxe Hawaiian resort. These icy and listless dreams are matched by cinematographer Laszlo Kovac's expert lensing of a wintry and desolate boardwalk empire."

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.
