The following special events and meetings\u00a0are \u201ccoming soon\u201d to the area in January. Please support this diverse film programming by attending, spreading the word, and becoming active!<\/em><\/p>\n

The good news:\u00a0Coming Soon<\/strong> is back! The bad news: Coming Soon<\/strong> will probably not be coming ’round as often. With Ebertfest<\/strong> on the horizon and two extra C-U projects brewing in the pot, we’ll need to simplify our listings somewhat to allocate much-needed time elsewhere. However, always<\/em> feel free to send us the scoop on movie-related events by writing cuconfidential [at] gmail [dot] com<\/strong>\u00a0and we’ll see what we can do. Thanks!<\/p>\n

2008\u00a0has started off modestly with a few choice morsels, but I wonder what else<\/em> is “Coming Soon” to a theater near C-U? Hmmm…<\/em><\/p>\n
