Mid-1950s crime thriller “Bad Day At Black Rock” will screen at 6:30 p.m., Thursday at Mesa Public Library.
The moody Spencer Tracy classic opens “Just the Way it Happened!” (according to the tagline) as a railway train pulls into a quiet Arizona town and John J. Macreedy (Tracy) steps off.
Apparently, it’s the first time the train has stopped in Black Rock in a number of years, and the locals are none too happy to have a newcomer. Macreedy can’t get a cab and then is denied a hotel room, although there are clearly Read More

Cinema Cindy Reviews ‘Kubo And The Two Strings’
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“Kubo and the Two Strings” is the latest animated film from Laika Entertainment (Coraline, The Boxtrolls), a family action adventure presented in stop-action animation. Words cannot adequately describe this film, but let’s try…
