You may know Como Agua Para Chocolate as Like Water for Chocolate, though I think it sounds better in its original Spanish. It's one of the many free films scheduled for this summer.

The Latino Cultural Center at 2600 Live Oak in Dallas has scheduled a series of free movie screenings for the summer, beginning with a Sat., May 10 showing of El Espiritu de la Colmena (The Spirit of the Beehive), which starts at 12:30 p.m. This one has English subtitles for to accommodate non-Spanish speakers and runs for 97 minutes.

Next up (on May 17 at 2 p.m.) is Como Agua Para Chocolate, based on the fantastic novel by Laura Esquivel. Once again, English subtitles are provided and the movie runs 97 minutes.

Rounding out the month of May on the 24th is a screening of El Callejón de los Milagros, or as it's known in its English release version: Midaq Alley. This one starts at 2 p.m., has English subtitles, is not rated and runs for (hold onto your popcorn) 144 minutes.

Additional films are planned for June and July, as follows:

La Prima Angélica - June 14

Ensayo de un Crimen - July 5

Cría Cuervos - July 12

La Ilusión Viaja en Tranvía - July 19

Nazarín - July 26

Call 214-670-3320 for additional details, or head on over to the Center's website.
