ETC:

THE GRADUATE (1967)­—The further we get from the sixties, the more it seems that much of what audiences of the time loved about this epochal comedy had more to do with what they read into it than what director Mike Nichols intended. At the very least, each new viewing serves as a barometer of your own current state of life. In his first major film role, Dustin Hoffman provided a role model for thousands of confused, sexually frustrated young men who ran out to buy Simon and Garfunkel albums. With Anne Bancroft as Mrs. Robinson, Katherine Ross, William Daniels, Murray Hamilton; look fast for Richard Dryfuss. The film will be preceded by a performance on the theater’s Wurlitzer organ. Thurs July 1, 7pm. Riviera Theater, 67 Webster St., North Tonawanda (692-2413)

TWILIGHT MARATHON—The first two films in the series will be screened, on Tuesday night leading up to the midnight premiere of Eclipse. Twilight plays at 7:15 pm, New Moon at 9:45 pm.
