[Michael L Ray]

LTATM meetings at the Del Mar Theatre are indefinitely suspended. Please join us online via Zoom video conferencing software (details below) where this week we'll be discussing a movie we each see individually in a movie theatre of our choice. 

In the Santa Cruz area, our film, One Battle After Another, is showing at the Santa Cruz Cinema, The Del Mar Theatre. Cinelux Scotts Valley, Cinelux Capitola, and the Green Valley Cinema.

On Wednesday, 10/1 at 7pm we will discuss the Action Epic/Dark Comedy/Epic/Political Thriller/ Action/Crime/Drama/Thriller - One Battle After Another (2025). Bob is a washed-up revolutionary who lives in a state of stoned paranoia, surviving off-grid with his spirited and self-reliant daughter, Willa. When his evil nemesis resurfaces and Willa goes missing, the former radical scrambles to find her as both father and daughter battle the consequences of their pasts. "An epic screwball adventure teeming with awe-inspiring action set pieces, One Battle After Another is Paul Thomas Anderson's most entertaining film yet while also one of his most thematically rich (RT consensus)." 98% on Rotten Tomatoes:
