Begin Again
The latest film from writer-director John Carney (ONCE), BEGIN AGAIN is a soul-stirring comedy about what happens when lost souls meet and make beautiful music together. Gretta (Keira Knightley) and her long-time boyfriend Dave (Adam Levine) are college sweethearts and songwriting partners who decamp for New York when he lands a deal with a major label. But the trappings of his new-found fame soon tempt Dave to stray, and a reeling, lovelorn Gretta is left on her own. Her world takes a turn for the better when Dan (Mark Ruffalo), a disgraced record-label exec, stumbles upon her performing on an East Village stage and is immediately captivated by her raw talent. From this chance encounter emerges an enchanting portrait of a mutually transformative collaboration, set to the soundtrack of a summer in New York City.

A Lotta Talent and A Little Luck: A Celebration of Stanley Donen
Columbia, South Carolina native Stanley Donen is the last of the notable directors from Hollywood’s golden age still living. In celebration of his 90th birthday, the Nickelodeon Theatre is hosting a citywide celebration of Donen’s work. Recipient of an honorary Academy Award in 1998, Donen, who worked closely with Gene Kelly, directed such classic films as Singin’ in the Rain, On the Town, and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
The series kicks off on July 26 with an outdoor screening of Singin’ in the Rain in Hollywood Park - the same neighborhood where Stanley grew up. The celebration continues with a lecture by Stephen Silverman, author of Stanley’s biography Dancing on the Ceiling: Stanley Donen and his Movies. And for the next five weeks, the Nickelodeon will host Monday evening and Tuesday matinee screenings of classic Donen films with pre-film discussions led by local film experts and enthusiasts.
