Join us Thursday evening at 6:00 in Browning Event Room B for a screening of Key Largo. This 1948 film, directed by John Huston, stars Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall, Edward G.

Loved it! My son had told me that this was the superhero action movie of the year -- NOT The Dark Knight -- and now I know what he means. The good guys weren't perfect, the bad guys weren't Satan personified, and the plot unpredictable and halfway intelligent. Robert Downey Jr obviously had a...
