Speaking of Movies…

Discussions with Dr. Larry Allums and various local film critics

Speaking of Movies "You know what your problem is; it's that you haven't seen enough movies. All of life's riddles are answered in the movies." --Steve Martin

If you're a serious movie fan looking for the right kind of people with whom to talk about currently playing films, you should give this Institute group a try. Members meet monthly and with Dr. Scott Churchill on sabbatical this semester, Dr. Larry Allums will be joined by a different film critic each month. In September the group will welcome and be led by Dallas Morning News film critic Chris Vognar. The final meeting will be for dinner-and-a-classic-move at the Institute.
