A New York police officer is recruited into a secret government organization that helps hide the existence of extraterrestrial visitors from the public, and teams up with a more experienced operative to track down a malicious alien that has taken over a human host. Tommy Lee Jones and Will Smith make an unexpectedly ideal mismatched pair of heroes, later reuniting for two sequels, and are supported by witty performances from Linda Fiorentino, Rip Torn, and a physical tour-de-force from Vincent D’Onofrio as the possessed farmer. Rick Baker and David LeRoy Anderson won Oscars for their imaginative alien makeup designs; Danny Elfman was nominated for his lively score; and production designer Bo Welch and set decorator Cheryl Carasik were nominated for the film’s art direction, which... deftly combined retro-futurist sets and authentic New York locations.

Adapted from Stephen King's 1983 novel, John Carpenter's Christine follows bullied high schooler Arnie (Keith Gordon) and his growing attachment to his sentient car. As Arnie transforms into a revenge seeker, blindly loyal Christine abets Arnie in hunting down bullies and questioners of the bewildering relationship. The '58 Plymouth Fury is also, seemingly, indestructible, reverting to mint condition whenever tarnished, thanks to the work of Academy Award-nominated visual effects supervisor Roy Arbogast (Close Encounters of the Third Kind, 1977). This cult classic is the perfect blend of King's thriller and Carpenter's unique take on the supernatural.

Coco Queens, written by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author LaDarrion Williams and directed by Jessica E. Williams, will make its Los Angeles premiere at Outside In Theatre. Previews begin October 19, with opening night set for October 25. The limited engagement runs through November 17 at Outside In Theatre Artspace in Highland Park.
Set in a small Alabama town during the 1970s, Coco Queens follows four&nbsp;Black women whose lives have been forever shaped by love, loss,&nbsp;betrayal, and the unbreakable bonds of sisterhood. Inside Gloria's&nbsp;neighborhood beauty shop, a place where hair is done but souls are&nbsp;restored, generations of women gather for the annual Coco Queens&nbsp;Weekend, a sacred tradition of reflection, laughter, music, food, and healing&nbsp;passed down through the women who came before them.
&nbsp;As old wounds resurface and long-buried secrets come to light, the women&nbsp;are forced to confront colorism, ambition, motherhood, grief, and the cost of&nbsp;chasing dreams in a world determined to divide them. Guided by the&nbsp;enduring spirit of their beloved Girlie and the wisdom of their ancestors,&nbsp;they discover that true healing begins only when the truth is spoken aloud.&nbsp;Blending humor, heart, Southern spirituality, and the rich traditions of Black&nbsp;womanhood, Coco Queens is a moving celebration of resilience,&nbsp;forgiveness, and the women who teach us that even after unimaginable&nbsp;loss, there is always a way back to one another.&nbsp;A Southern story of sisterhood, survival, and the song that refuses to be&nbsp;silenced.

Critiques and Comics: Book Signing with Nathan Gelgud and A. S. Hamrah

In person: cartoonist Nathan Gelgud and critic A. S. HamrahBefore Terrence Malick’s Badlands (1973), before Arthur Penn’s Bonnie and Clyde (1967), there was Nicholas Ray’s They Live by Night (1948), a book-to-screen adaptation about young lovers on the run. After busting out of prison, Bowie (Farley Granger) hides out at a filling station owned by a dad with alcoholism and his daughter Keechie (Cathy O’Donnell) and starts knocking off banks with his fellow escapees. After a spending spree leaves Bowie injured and vulnerable to the law, Keechie falls for him, and the couple sets off an ill-fated journey, hopeful for a new life.
In Ray’s remarkable debut feature, classic noir elements blend effortlessly with melodrama to create something entirely new, making They Live by Night a... standout of the period, realized with lived-in dialogue beautifully adapted from Edward Anderson’s source material and shot primarily on location in greater Los Angeles. The film is notable too for its innovative camera techniques and tracking shots, especially in the driving sequences. This warm-up for Rebel Without a Cause (1955) finds Ray arriving on the scene fully formed with a confident and inimitable style. &nbsp;
A favorite of cartoonist Nathan Gelgud and critic A. S. Hamrah, the screening is followed by a conversation about Ray and his oft-overlooked influence on American filmmaking. In a separately ticketed event before the film, Gelgud and Hamrah sign copies of their newest books.

 USC Visions and Voices Presents
The Los Angeles Debut of
HUNG DANCE: BIRDY
Featuring choreographer and artistic director LAI Hung-ChungThursday, October 29, 2026, at 7 p.m.

“Creatures of a feather dance together in BIRDY, Hung Dance’s call to the wild.”—DanceHouse, Canada

USC Visions and Voices is excited to present the Los Angeles debut performance of Taiwanese dance company, HUNG DANCE! They will perform BIRDY on Thursday, October 29, at 7 p.m., at Bovard Auditorium on the University of Southern California, University Park Campus. Set to an eclectic mix of electronic and Chinese classical music, BIRDY reinterprets percussion and seamlessly blends Tai Chi with contemporary dance.&nbsp;

Founded in 2017 by LAI Hung-Chung, Taiwan's HUNG DANCE fuses Peking Opera, Tai Chi, and contemporary dance for their signature movement style. They have received international recognition and toured extensively across Europe, Asia, the Americas, and Africa. Their award-winning production BIRDY has captivated audiences worldwide, with 21 sold-out performances at Avignon OFF and a prominent spot at the 91st American Dance Festival (ADF). The piece incorporates symbolic elements such as the Ling Zi, which was often worn on warriors’ helmets in traditional Chinese opera to show the warriors’ strength and skill.&nbsp; In BIRDY, the Ling Zi is used to create the image of a bird, an extension of inner feeling, and the desire to escape reality, diving into profound themes of freedom, constraint, and identity

“The themes of BIRDY—freedom and oppression, and the impact of individual actions on society’s equilibrium—are more timely and essential than ever … The piece was created in Taiwan’s specific cultural context, but it’s universally relevant as we grapple with global conflicts, the climate crisis, and our own personal responsibility.”—Gillian Jones, Dance Victoria Executive Director, Victoria News

Born from an unapologetic desire for flight, BIRDY tells the tale of tradition in the modern world, conveying a powerful message that explores the freedom and limitations within the context of Taiwan. The performance is notable for weaving Western mythology and Eastern traditions through stunning contemporary dance. With its blend of traditional and modern influences, BIRDY speaks to the human experience with a poetic intensity, offering a moving reflection on the complexities of personal and cultural expression. As a poetic response to whether “every free flight is born from a restriction”, the performance confronts contemporary issues while transforming feathers into wings —conveying a powerful message that in this era, we can redefine class, freedom, and limitations while seeking balance and identity.

"Taiwanese choreographer LAI Hung-chung continues to show he's a rising star."—Lucy Ribchester, The List&nbsp;

At the heart and core of HUNG DANCE’s productions are the works of Artistic Director LAI Hung-Chung. LAI is a Taiwanese choreographer known for blending Tai Chi, Chinese opera traditions, and contemporary movement, exploring themes of freedom, identity, and human connection. His acclaimed productions have received international awards and toured worldwide. He also founded Stray Birds Dance Platform, supporting emerging choreographers and international artistic exchange. Drawing inspiration from daily life, LAI takes internal emotional and physical states, and translates them into movement.&nbsp;

The one-hour performance will be followed by a reception hosted in partnership with <a href="https://la.us.taiwan.culture.tw/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Taiwan Academy in Los Angeles</a>.

USC Visions and Voices and the USC Glorya Kaufman School of Dance invite everyone to join us for an exciting evening of connection, inspiration, and celebration!&nbsp;

In person: actor Park Hae-il
The second installment of the epic Yi Sun-sin trilogy by director Kim Han-min stars Park Hae-il as the 48-year-old Yi Sun-sin, an admiral of the Joseon dynasty (1392-1910) venerated for seemingly miraculous victories over the Japanese naval forces during the Imjin War period. The film focuses on the 1592 Hansan Island battle against a fleet overseen by daimyo (feudal lord) Wakisaka Yasuharu, who plans to conquer the Joseon peninsula on a quest to devour the entire Ming Dynasty. Yi’s famously optimized Turtle battleship appears in grandiose, precisely executed glory under Yi’s orchestration. Spectacular visual compositions, complemented by remarkable visual effects and a magnificent score, come together to deliver one of most gratifying naval war scenes ever shown on the Korean big screen.

The Fountain Theatre presents a smart, funny, provocative and moving satire by Tony Award-nominated playwright and MacArthur “Genius Grant” recipient Dominique Morisseau. Two Black women, an enslaved woman who becomes a Union spy during the Civil War and a professor at a contemporary university, are having parallel experiences of institutional racism, though they live more than 150 years apart. Moving between past and present with biting humor and theatrical ingenuity, Morisseau connects these two women across generations as each must decide whom she can trust, what she is willing to risk, and how to take control of her own story.

If you've lost faith in your own judgment after a toxic relationship, we guide you toward feeling calm in your body, trusting your instincts again, and finally experiencing healthy, authentic relationships. Our Los Angeles therapy practice offers evidence-based trauma treatment using EMDR therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), mindfulness-based approaches, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT).

Our holistic psychotherapy approach addresses mind, body, and spirit, helping empaths and highly sensitive individuals rebuild self-trust while establishing healthy boundaries. We offer individual therapy, intensive therapy programs for accelerated healing, and telehealth sessions throughout California. Whether you're in Los Angeles, Santa Monica, Burbank, or beyond, compassionate trauma-informed care is accessible. Healing isn't becoming someone new—it's remembering who you were before you forgot your worth. Safety is the soil of transformation.
