Born and raised in the heart of Oklahoma, Read Southall brings a unique sound to country music. Growing up listening to everything from Hank Williams to Johnny Paycheck led him to fall in love with the soulful stories behind country music. The young artist quickly used these influences to find his fit in the genre. Read started performing in choirs and local bands at a young age, and at age 22 he began performing locally as a solo artist. Overnight it seemed, he had a dedicated fan base in his home state. As he continued to grow as an artist, Read began writing in between performances. Putting personal experiences to paper came naturally, “I really enjoy writing music simply because I believe I can connect with people… Words can’t describe the high you feel when someone says your music has gotten them through something. That alone is a greater honor than any dollar compensation,” says Southall. Read wrote, recorded, and independently released his first album, Six String Sorrow, in 2015 and recently released Borrowed Time with his band. With overdriven guitars and heavy drums, the Read Southall Band aims to deliver a rock and roll experience at every show.

“[This] enthralling courtroom drama navigates the contradictions of a left-wing outlaw.” — Guy Lodge, Variety
In 1975 Pierre Goldman (Arieh Worthalter), a fiery left-wing figure and revolutionary activist, goes on trial in France, in this dramatization of actual events. Accused of multiple crimes, including two murders, Goldman proclaims his innocence. Twenty years before the O.J. Simpson case, the Goldman trial reflects the political, ideological, and racial tensions that marked the 1970s in France and Europe. Considered the trial of the century in its day, the case divided an entire country and widened the gap between the conservative right and left-wing intellectuals.
NR; 115 minutes; French with English subtitles

“Like a well-oiled machine, Clue uses slapstick and situational humor to tell a rather pointed story.” —Wesley Lovell, Cinema Sight
This murderously funny movie is based on the world-famous board game, Clue. Was it Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull) in the study with a gun? Miss Scarlet (Lesley Ann Warren) in the billiard room with the rope? Or was it Wadsworth (Tim Curry), the butler? Meet all the notorious suspects and discover all their foul playthings. You’ll love their dastardly doings as the bodies and the laughs pile up before your eyes. Co-starring Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, Christopher Lloyd, and Michael McKean.

The “My Favorite Films” series features tales of romance, humor, suspense, satire, and heroism with films since 1945. These films may hold special memories for you—no matter how many times you see them, they continue draw you in once more. While many of these films are available through streaming, it’s always more fun to see them in the theatre. This October, celebrate the season with giggles, shrieks, and spookiness.
