From Uptown Movie Club:

Uptown Movie Club is a community driven initiative to consistently connect with neighbors over our love of cinema and to support local businesses that need our help. We need YOU to help make this a success! Uptown Movie Club will meet on the third Wednesday of every month at 7PM at the Lagoon Cinema in the heart of Uptown. We will gather, watch a film together and discuss after. It's like a book club, but you don't have to read the book!
