It is now officially Springtime. The air is warm, the bees are buzzing, and the flowers are blooming (much to the delight of my daughter). The worthless Sportsball tournament is finally over and we are into April. (In fact, I was able to play an April Fool's joke eight minutes into the holiday, much to the consternation of my work supervisors.) What better way to celebrate Spring than by staying indoors away from all the pollen and allergens and annoying warm air? Luckily, the University of Louisville Floyd Theater has you covered, as usual.

Once again, the University of Louisville Floyd Theater presents two fantastic movies on the cheap for the film fanatic’s viewing pleasure. This week is especially important for the many people who attempt to watch as many Oscar nominees as possible, whether to torture yourself or to try to get an extra edge in whatever guessing game you and your friends have come up with. (Off the record: it makes for a fantastic drinking game.)

Filming on the outskirts of London has ended for the day, and Jennifer Lawrence is excited to return to her two-bedroom Notting Hill apartment. She has already been in England for a couple of months now, playing the role of the mutant Mystique in the X-Men franchise’s newest installment.
