The Billy Wilder Theater, 10899 Wilshire Boulevard, Westwood
IN-PERSON: filmmaker Nina Menkes. Revealed gradually in jarring and obtuse narrative shards, Menkes’ feature reveals a story of horror and mystery: that of a man discovered in the midst of a terrible crime, and the torpor of shock and banality that follow among the group of Marines who come across the scene. ]]> http://thisweekinwestwood.com/2012/02/22/nina-menkes-%e2%80%9cthe-bloody-child%e2%80%9d-1996/feed/ 0 http://thisweekinwestwood.com/2012/02/21/captain-courageous-boys-town/ http://thisweekinwestwood.com/2012/02/21/captain-courageous-boys-town/#comments Wed, 22 Feb 2012 04:17:21 +0000 admin http://thisweekin.net/westwood/?p=8751 Sunday, March 4, 7 pm

If you’re going to make soup, and I hope you are, this version will make you a star! Everyone loves lasagna, and this pretty much “soupifies” all those wonderful flavors -- the tender ricotta plopped into the middle, the chewy sausage, the al dente noodles, the sweet tomatoes. You won’t be able to talk while you’re eating it. That’s how good it is. ]]> http://www.shockinglydelicious.com/lasagna-soup/feed/ 0 http://thisweekinwestwood.com/2012/02/21/brats-in-space/ http://thisweekinwestwood.com/2012/02/21/brats-in-space/#comments Tue, 21 Feb 2012 21:45:21 +0000 admin http://thisweekin.net/westwood/2012/02/21/brats-in-space/ Friday - Sunday, March 2 - 11
