The fifth annual Cinema and Civics film and music series returns to Stevens Square Park next month, starting off what seems a promising summer with
The Neverending Story and
MC/VL on June 16th. Trying to find a common thread in the movies this year, the only free-association that came to mind was animals: the make-me-ups (
Neverending Story), the prim and coddled (
Best In Show), monstrous morons (
Dr. Strangelove), the peckish and flighty (
The Birds), or the escape artists (
Pee Wee's Big Adventure). I don't really think there's a theme. There is however a pretty much consistently great lineup of bands playing, including
Buildings,
Phantom Tails, and
Gay Witch Abortion.
