Prepare your peepers for superspies, vampires, talking mice, Will Smith, Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler and a superhero or two in this year's Holiday Film Guide. Community college students struggling to pay for gas, food and rent get help from their schools. And what happened to the Republican Party? Bellemah laughs, cries and talks about Tom Waits. Plus, John Hollenbeck’s texturally rich, rhythmically compelling and continually shape-shifting jazz breaks ground.
The straightforward buddy comedy Role Models is packed with enough big laughs to amuse a wide range of audience members. And director Jonathan Demme returns to his small-budget indie film roots with the low-key dramedy Rachel Getting Married.

Fellow Kansas crew Hospital Ships (who are signed to Graveface Records), sci-fi riffin' foursome Ghost Circles and acoustic indie-rock outfit Bellemah open the 21-and-over gig starting at 9 p.m. Tickets are only $10.
