'Anvil'
Starting this weekend at The Lyric is the movie "Anvil". It's a documentary about one of the earliest metal bands of the same name and their career in recent years.
The band was one of the first and most inspirational metal bands but they were not as successful as the bands they influenced like Metallica.
The movie has a mixture of comedy and emotional points as the band member struggle to make ends meet as they attempt to tour Europe.
The film was shown at Sundance in 2008 and was fairly well received. If you like metal music this is definitely worth checking out.
'Singin' in the Rain'
This Saturday at The Lyric is a special showing of the 1952 classic musical "Singin' in the Rain".
The film is about silent film actors making the transition to movies with sound. The actors and actresses struggle with their speaking parts and some don't quite make the transition easy.
The majority of the Tech population was too young to see it in theaters so it is a great opportunity for anyone who loves the movie to see it on the big screen.
It's also a great way for anyone who hasn't seen it to enjoy the film.The movie is free as it is a part of the Summer Movie Classics program the Lyric is running right now.
