FRIDAY, FEB. 27 Friday Night Movie: Horrible Bosses 2 7:00 pm, MSC Pilot House

Spanish Lake

Students-Free, Faculty/Staff-$5, General Admission-$7

Tired of always answering to others, Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) go into business for themselves. After demonstrating the prototype for an invention called the Shower Buddy, they soon get involved with a shady investor and decide to kidnap him for ransom money. Rated R. Refreshments are provided. Come have some laughs!

Spanish Lake is a bold and uncompromising documentary focused on economic oppression in the suburb of Spanish Lake, Missouri. Operating without a local government, the lack of community leadership has disastrous effects, including a mass exodus of the white population in the late 1990’s. The themes of the film parallel America’s growing political divide, underlying racism, and the rise of anti-government sentiment. Highlighted in the film is a landmark U.S. Supreme Court case from 1971, spearheaded by then HUD Secretary George Romney, which changed the course of public housing for the nation.
