Pro cardinals: weekly recap of former University of Louisville stars in the NBA
Stats from 4/16-4/22.

Active U of L NBA-ers:

  • Earl Clark- The stretch forward for the Orlando Magic has been laboring on the court this week. Clark received a DNP-coaches decision yesterday in a 117-107 overtime loss to Utah after a poor performance prior. Earl was scoreless against the Celtics Wednesday in another Magic loss. On a brighter note, E5 did have a double-double with 14 points & 10 rebounds in a 113-100 win over the 76ers on Monday. Earl is the only former Cardinal headed to the NBA playoffs. Clark is averaging 2.5ppg  and 2.7rpg on the season.

The Floyd Theater closes out the spring semester with two much-loved cult classics - one of them to screen at midnight! Which one, you ask? Look inside to find out.

This is it, friends: the last chance to catch film screenings at the University of Louisville Floyd Theater before the semester ends. I know, I know – where are we going to get to see such great movies at such a great venue for such a great price? Alas, we will have to wait until the fall. (In the meantime, I direct you to the Village 8 Louisville Exclusives series.) Sad as it is, the Floyd Theater has opted to go out with a bang, leaving us with a warm feeling in our hearts.

Pro cardinals: weekly recap of former University of Louisville stars in the NBA
Stats from 4/8-4/15.

Active U of L NBA-ers:

  • Earl Clark- Orlando Magic, the back-up small forward is seeing quality minutes for defensive purposes. Clark is receiving more time due to the roster shakeup with Dwight Howard being out with a back injury. Even with the increased minutes, the actual production has been spotty for Earl this week, 1.7 points per game and was held scoreless twice in four games. The fourth year forward is averaging 2ppg and 2.5rpg this season.

The Floyd Theater continues to showcase recent Oscar winners, including this year's Best Picture winner.

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.

But what is the midnight movie? you ask while presumably tearing out your hair in frenzied anticipation. You'll just have to read the article to find out.

Once again we return with this week’s exciting issue of “What’s playing at the University of Louisville Floyd Theater?,” where we discuss the goings-on of the University’s deliciously inexpensive on-campus movie theater, showcasing films both obscure and mainstream, often new, occasionally classic. On to the show!

Sistah Summit Focuses on Transforming Black Women [Opinion: The Arena]

The Saturday Academy Sistah Summit attracted women of all colors for conversations on sisterhood and transforming, "From Pain to Power."

The theme of the 2012 University of Louisville Sistah Summit was, From Pain to Power. Anyone who spent a decent amount of time at the two day conference would say there was more power and positivity expressed by every female African American presenter.

Gary Oldman and George Clooney battled it out for the Best Actor Oscar! Neither won - but don't let that dissuade you from checking out their critically acclaimed films.

After a brief hiatus for Spring Break (which curiously took place before spring actually began), I am pleased to announce the return of film screenings presented by the University of Louisville Student Activities Committee showcased in the wonderfully intimate Floyd Theater – past and present, obscure and mainstream, the Floyd presents movies for everybody, and on the cheap.

Presenting the new film by Roman Polanski.

Who doesn’t love a good celebrity scandal? Me, for one. I will never understand our society’s absolute hunger for stories of the depraved among the “elite.” It is an understatement to say that the story of Tiger Woods’ indiscretions went on far longer than was warranted, after which there were talks of a reality show starring one of the women involved! It is utterly ridiculous.

Presenting five screenings of Cronenberg's most recent accomplishment.

David Cronenberg is an incredibly fascinating filmmaker. While on the surface many of his films may appear to be merely strange sci-fi outings or overly erotic indulgences, there is a lot more going on in his work. For example: in a lot of his older work, he has a strange fascination with exploring the [usually] dangerous consequences of the rise of technology in our society.

Presenting a one-night screening of the dark and controversial film by Steve McQueen.

Michael Fassbender is absolutely everywhere nowadays. Don’t recognize the name? Don’t worry, you’ve seen him. He made his acting debut as Burton Christenson in the HBO miniseries “Band of Brothers,” and he broke into mainstream cinema with his role as Stelios in “300.” Since then you have seen him as Archie Hicox in “Inglourious Basterds,” Burke in “Jonah Hex,” Mr.
