January 13 Helen Mirren at the Egyptian

I purchased 4 tickets for you guys thinking at least half of you would want to see the Queen and then hear Helen Mirren discuss it. The first four of you to claim tickets get them. If there is a demand for more tickets I'll try to order more, but this will surely sell out. Mirren's going to win an Oscar for this one so it'll be fun to have been there! Note: This is the same day as the Black Dahlia tour so be prepared for a full day.

Saturday, January 13 – 7:30 PM
Helen Mirren In-Person – Double Feature:

THE QUEEN, 2006, Miramax, 97 min. Blending the rewards of a detailed film biography with an insightful meditation on character, director Stephen Frears (DANGEROUS LIAISONS; DIRTY PRETTY THINGS) puts the British monarchy under the microscope. Set in 1997, it details the bond of trust that slowly develops between the 71-year-old Queen Elizabeth – humanized by the Oscar-caliber performance of Helen Mirren in the title role – and prime minister, Tony Blair (Michael Sheen) following the death of Princess Diana. With James Cromwell. "…Helen Mirren…has turned THE QUEEN into something you never imagined it could be: a crackling dramatic story that's intelligent, thoughtful and moving." – Kenneth Turan, The Los Angeles Times "

SOME MOTHER’S SON, 1996, Warner Bros., 112 min. Terry George (co-writer of IN THE NAME OF THE FATHER) directs this clear-eyed study of the dilemna posed to a Northern Irish Catholic mother, Kathleen Quigley (Helen Mirren) when her son (Aidan Gillen) is not only convicted along with other IRA bombers, but goes on the legendary prison hunger strike that took the lives of ten men, including radical activist, Bobby Sands (John Lynch).

Discussion in between films with actress, Helen Mirren.

Post now to reserve one of the four tickets.
