With the final offering in its series described by The Guardian's Scott Tobias as "the jewel of Hollywood's Golden Age," the German American Heritage Center closes their “From Hitler to Hollywood” film series with one of the greatest cinematic works of all time: director Michael's Curitz's Oscar-winning classic Casablanca, which will enjoy two screening at Davenport venue The Last Picture House on October 1.

Appearing in a special Silvis Public Library program on September 27, Emmy Award-winning area filmmakers Kelly and Tammy Rundle will host screenings of the entire short-film collection in their beloved Hero Street documentary series, the event celebrating the eight young men from Silvis' block-and-a-half-long Second Street in Silvis collectively lost to World War II and the Korean War.

Little of actual import happens in either Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale or Spinal Tap II: The End Continues, two sequels – and theoretically climactic ones – to culturally beloved properties that happened to debut on the same day. (Had they arrived one week earlier, the films could've shared an opening weekend, and made an unofficial three-fer, with The Conjuring: Last Rites.) It's doubtful, though, that their fan bases will complain much.
