Description
From his unforgettable roles in iconic films like Payday, The Man Who Fell to Earth and Cross Creek (for which he received an Academy Award nomination) and in films as disparate as Heartland, Marie Antoinette, Dodgeball, Wonder Boys, and Defending Your Life, to his hilarious appearances on The Larry Sanders Show and 30 Rock, Texas-born actor Rip Torn has made an indelible mark as one of this generation’s leading artists of stage and screen. With a résumé that includes everything from Tropic of Cancer to Men in Black to an unforgettable turn as Big Daddy in the 1980s revival of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Torn brilliantly handles both comedy and drama (and can be seen doing both brilliantly in this year’s Festival). Join us as we spotlight the continuing genius of his career with a clip tribute and a screening of his new film August, plus a special screening of Songwriter.

The Trains at NorthPark Oh, no! Godzilla got into the Northpark train exhibit! But don't worry, the engineers will have it back up and running in time for your mall visit. And now, BEFORE the big holiday rush, is the best time to see them, before hundreds of drooling children take over the enclosure after Thanksgiving. More info
