\"Pump<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Allan Moyle\u2019s PUMP UP THE VOLUME electrified a generation when it premiered in 1990. Christian Slater and Samantha Mathis became stars and avatars for young people who watched the film over and over again. In the film, Slater plays a shy student, who secretly runs a pirate radio station and causes an uproar, becoming an underground celebrity and leader of a movement when he speaks his mind and enthralls fellow teens. Mathis plays a classmate who discovers and develops a romance with the boy behind the voice and inspires him to take a real chance with his life. The film screens Thursday, March 19 at 7:00PM at the Gertrude C. Ford Center (351 University Ave.) with Moyle and producer Sandy Stern attending following a live broadcast of Thacker Mountain Radio Show, a locally produced live reading and music performance broadcast in Mississippi and Alabama.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Oxford Film Festival is starting to make a tradition of nabbing a couple of hot titles right out of Sundance and this year, Braden King\u2019s THE EVENING HOUR fills that bill. In the tense drama, a popular, young health aide at a nursing home in rural Appalachia, makes ends meet by serving as a middle man in a medication transfer from townies to local buyers. It\u2019s a tough area with few opportunities, and he does what he can to keep his addicted customers out of harm\u2019s way from the town\u2019s menacing kingpin. However, the return of his childhood friend after years away may threaten the fragile balance he has achieved with plans to capitalize on what he sees as his place in the local drug trade. The film screens Sunday, March 22 at 5:30PM at the Malco Commons (204 Commonwealth Blvd.) with King and actors attending with the film.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford Center for the Performing Arts on Wednesday, March 18.  A dramatic telling of the story of Ole Miss Rebel football player Chucky Mulllins, his tragic on-field injury following a collision with Vanderbilt\u2019s Brad Gaines, and its uplifting aftermath. The event will include a post-screening discussion of the film with the actors and some of the people they portray in the film. Included in the post-screening panel discussion will be cast members Pierson Fode, and Amy Goussett as well as Gaines. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
