    Christopher Cascio: “Portals”

    Patterns. Repetition. The compulsory need for the same, over and over, until you’re led somewhere else. In second-time Ivester gallery artist Christopher Cascio’s newest solo exhibition, he explores both the pattern and the escape – a portal within every piece. His paintings combine aerosol and acrylic paint with more textural elements like masking tape, found fabric, and concert wristbands to form various repeating images anchored by centralized portals both obvious and obscure. And so, Cascio’s canvases “[invite] viewers to consider these moments as thresholds, interruptions in the pattern that offer space for reflection, transformation, or escape.” – James Scott

    Raveena, Renao

    In press for her latest album, Raveena said, “Butterflies are so delicate that they have to hide in leaves and flowers until the rain passes so that their wings don’t get crushed in the rain.” Where the Butterflies Go in the Rain channels that delicate beauty in sound and subject matter. On a lush, polished R&B record, the Punjabi singer-songwriter fuses funk bass with cinematic strings and her stacked, choirlike vocals to ponder love, loss, and grief – from confessional “Pluto” to Palestinian freedom song “Rise” – with a buoyancy that keeps her lyrical depths afloat. Bangalore-born singer Renao opens. – Carys Anderson

    Saving Face (2005)

    I’m a sucker for intergenerational stories, particularly if they’re about parents and kids dealing with romance. There’s a real fun chaos to the idea: parents having to commiserate with their kid over dating troubles, forcing a new equality of situation into a historically uneven power dynamic. In director Alice Wu’s debut feature, protag Wil (Michelle Krusiec, Duplex) must take in her pregnant mother (Joan Chen, Twin Peaks), whose unwed status has her on the outs with her father. While Wil’s in the closet with her mom, she becomes enamored with her boss’ daughter (Lynn Chen, a five-episode recurring doctor on Grey’s Anatomy), who butts heads with her own father over choosing modern dance over ballet. Social expectations get broken; love comes from unexpected places; and hearts do change, even if it takes a little while. – James Scott

    Streets of Fire (1984)

    Willem Dafoe is perhaps the best role-picker in Hollywood, with countless iconic characters from Robert Pattinson’s deranged mentor in The Lighthouse, to Emma Stone’s kooky mad scientist dad in Poor Things. But back in his younger days the roles skewed a little sexier – albeit with his singular brand of toothy sleaze. None fit the brand more so perhaps than in this 1984 camped-out neo-noir rock opera, wherein he plays Raven, an evil biker gang leader who kidnaps rock star Ellen Aim (Diane Lane). Her former soldier beau Cody (Michael Paré) is hired to rescue her and an urban chase ensues. Dafoe’s widow’s peak goes hard in this glam rock West Side Story that’s worth a watch on the big screen.– Lina Fisher

    The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 (2014)

    Feeling a bit dystopian in the current political climate? Check out the first half of the original Hunger Games series finale for all the inspiration you need for your counterrevolutionary activities. While Katniss Everdeen fights President Snow’s dictatorial regime in Panem, we, too, fight the establishment – one map labeled the Gulf of Mexico at a time. Whether a member of the revolution, a fan of dystopian science fiction, or complicated love triangles, this movie has it all. – Julianna Plewes
