"Sound + Vision: Music at The Movies presents the greatest in soundtrack cinema. On the first Tuesday of every month, we curate a film screening where the music fuels the engine of the cinema experience, with a preshow moderated discussion on the film and music’s history and cultural impact.

Presented in Hi-def and 51. surround sound. Co-sponsored by WAMC, WEXT, and Rochmon Record Club.

Love & Mercy is a 2014 American biographical drama film directed by Bill Pohlad about the Beach Boys’ co-founder and leader Brian Wilson and his struggles with mental illness during the 1960s and 1980s. It stars Paul Dano and John Cusack as the young and older Wilson, respectively, with Elizabeth Banks as his second wife Melinda Ledbetter and Paul Giamatti as his psychologist Dr. Eugene Landy. The title comes from Wilson’s 1988 song of the same name.

"It Came From Schenectady’s wildly popular double-feature family event, prepares to once again stomp into the GE Theatre at Proctors to dominate the Capital Region’s only KAIJU-sized screen! As always, our two vintage features will be presented with a short intermission in between, beginning with an English-language Godzilla flick that is certain to appeal to the youngest of fans, while our second feature will be presented in Japanese with English subtitles. And, of course, HUSH is the word, as we once again refrain from announcing the name of either feature until the titles splash across our MONSTROUS screen. As with other ICFS events, expect prizes, surprises, comfy sofas and a convenient bar. Both features are rated PG with the combined running time – including intermission – expected to be under 3.5 hours."

1. The Amateur: "Charlie Heller (Malek) is a brilliant, but deeply introverted decoder for the CIA working out of a basement office at headquarters in Langley whose life is turned upside down when his wife is killed in a London terrorist attack. When his supervisors refuse to take action, he takes matters into his own hands, embarking on a dangerous trek across the globe to track down those responsible, his intelligence serving as the ultimate weapon for eluding his pursuers and achieving his revenge."

2. The Wedding Banquet: "From Director Andrew Ahn comes a joyful comedy of errors about a chosen family navigating the disasters and delights of family expectations, queerness, and cultural identity. Angela and her partner Lee have been unlucky with their IVF treatments, but can't afford to pay for another round. Meanwhile their friend Min, the closeted scion of a multinational corporate empire, has plenty of family money but a soon-to-expire student visa. When his commitment-phobic boyfriend Chris rejects his proposal, Min makes the offer to Angela instead: a green card marriage in exchange for funding Lee's IVF. But their plans to quietly elope are upended when Min's skeptical grandmother flies in from Korea unannounced, insisting on an all-out wedding extravaganza."

Since this is on a Tuesday, we'll get the discounted ticket prices for which the Scene One Spectrum is famous.
