When the attack fails, the enraged generals scapegoat three soldiers, putting them on trial for cowardice to cover up their own incompetence. As Dax defends the men in a farcical court-martial, the film exposes the callous indifference of the military hierarchy and the brutal realities of war.

“Teacher says, ‘Every time a bell rings, Jean Kayaksends a beaver to hell.’” Just in time for the holidays, Hundreds Of Beavers is coming back to The Frida Cinema!

When he discovers that the Beavers have formed their own secret society, he must infiltrate their lair to uncover their secrets and win theday. Robert Abele of The LA Times called it, “Gonzo cinema, moonshine distilled from the corny legacy from every loopy genius from Buster Keaton and Tex Avery to Mel Brooks and GeorgeMiller.” Join us for this gloriously bananas, delightful bonkers, beautifully made, black and white, action-comedy film that is just too much dam fun!

Up next in our Kubrick Christmas series is Full Metal Jacket, the director's 1987 Vietnam War film! The movie is divided into two distinct parts: the harrowing boot camp experience, where the recruits endure relentless psychological and physical abuse under the brutal drill instructor Gunnery Sergeant Hartman (R. Lee Ermey), and their subsequent deployment to the chaos of Vietnam. At the center is Private Joker (Matthew Modine), whose transformation from a sardonic recruit to a hardened war correspondent reflects the moral ambiguity and psychological toll of combat.
