Newton Theatre plans two more movies

NEWTON — Two more movies will be shown at the Newton Theatre from Sept. 10-13.
"Eat That Question" will be shown on Saturday, Sept. 10, and Sunday, Sept. 11, at 4:30 and 8 p.m. Then Monday, Sept. 12, and Tuesday, Sept. 13, at 7 p.m.
A subtle, skillful montage constructed solely from historic footage, "Eat That Question - Frank Zappa In His Own Words" is an energetic celebration of this outspoken maestro. Zappa died in 1993, of cancer. How important then, that such unforgettable Zappa interviews and performances across three decades have been painstakingly gathered by director Thorsten Schotte from the obscure vaults of TV stations around the world to create this unique 90 minute feature documentary.
Following Zappa from clean-shaven, besuited youth, to fearless chief freak, to his relentlessly productive final days before his death at 52, Eat That Question-Frank Zappa in His Own Words seats us right up front from the start; close enough to Zappa to read the flickering emotions in his eyes.
"Euquity" is about women on Wall Street. It’s a Wall Street drama, but it’s not about corruption, crime, or catastrophe. It’s about women who thrive on competition and ambition, deals and strategy, but who must carefully calibrate every aspect of their lives, professional and private, to stay equal in the game.
"Equity" is directed, written, produced, and financed by women, a collaboration among women in entertainment and business leaders in finance—the real-life women of Wall Street — who chose to invest in this film because they wanted to see their story told.
