Charles E. Beatley, Jr. Central Library

Here’s proof that a movie made of clichés can be good if produced by the right people. The setting is a secret lab. An agent of “the corporation” – dressed in black, of course – arrives to assess the results of its program. Scientists give worried responses, sometimes alluding to a disaster at another lab. The object of everyone’s focus is an artificially-engineered humanoid, and in an early scene the female creature reveals the violence of which she’s capable. Such projects never turn out well, and it’s easy to guess how this one will end. However, with the likes of Anya Taylor-Joy, Michelle Yeoh, Toby Jones, Kate Mara, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Paul Giamatti playing the main roles in a tightly written and directed feature, it’s easy to overlook the familiar formula and enjoy the action.
■ Title — Morgan ■ Director — Luke Scott ■ Cast — Kate Mara, Anya Taylor-Joy, Paul Giamatti, Michelle Yeoh ■ Rating — R ■ ©2016 | 1h 32m | Action, Horror, Sci-Fi, Thriller ■ Presented by <a href="https://oddballcinema.org" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Oddball Cinema</a>

In “The Battle of Manila,” Nicholas Sarantakes offers the first in-depth account of this crucial campaign from the American, Japanese, and Filipino perspectives. Fighting was building by building, with both sides forced to adapt to the new combat environment. None of the U.S. units that entered Manila had any previous training in urban warfare—yet, as Sarantakes shows, they learned on the fly how to use tanks, flamethrowers, and air and artillery assets in support of infantry assaults. Their effective use of these weapons was an important factor in limiting U.S. casualties, even as it may also have contributed to a catastrophic loss of civilian lives.
Nicholas Evan Sarantakes, Ph.D., is an associate professor in the strategy and policy department at the U.S. Naval War College. He is the author of four books, including “Dropping the Torch: Jimmy Carter, the Olympic Boycott, and the Cold War.”

In honor of National Preservation Month, join Carlyle House on a tour of “Lost Alexandria.” Urban renewal projects across the country took place starting in the 1950s were government and private initiatives aimed at addressing urban decay, upgrading infrastructure and revitalizing city neighborhoods. In the 1960s, the Gadsby Commercial Urban Renewal Project changed and demolished portions of multiple blocks including the 300-500 block of King Street.&nbsp;
During May’s Preservation Tours, tour guides will lead groups through the south side of the 300-500 blocks of King Street and parts of the 100 blocks of N. Fairfax, N. Royal, &amp; N. Pitt Streets to discuss what had been here, why they were destroyed, and how that impacted Alexandria. In September we will host the north side of the 300-500 blocks of King Street and parts of the 100 blocks of S. Fairfax, S. Royal, &amp; S. Pitt Streets. It is not required to attend the Spring tour to understand the Fall tour and vice versa.&nbsp;

Tours begin at Carlyle House, 121 N. Fairfax Street. This tour includes walking over many city blocks. South side tours will take place on three Saturdays in May all at 10am and the north side will take place on three Saturdays in September . Walking shoes required, bottled water suggested. Held rain or shine. Tickets are required for all tours.&nbsp;

National Museum of the United States Army

Generations of Americans have used military service to expand notions of citizenship and advance civil rights. As a result, military service has become a tool to broaden the concept of “the people” and what it means to be an American.
During World War I, over 200 women served the American Expeditionary Forces as telephone operators connecting calls between the front line and higher headquarters. The women, nicknamed the “Hello Girls,” worked tirelessly, under at times combat conditions as the first women to actively support combat operations.
In this History Talk explore the commitment, sacrifices, and challenges of the Hello Girls and how their service paved the way for women’s right to vote.
