REPO! THE GENETIC OPERA
This movie looks fantastic! And, at midnight, I bet its even funnier!
In the year 2056—the not so distant future—an epidemic of organ failures devastates the planet. Out of the tragedy, a savior emerges: GeneCo, a biotech company that offers organ transplants...for a price. Those who miss their payments are scheduled for repossession and hunted by villainous Repo Men. In a world where surgery addicts are hooked on painkilling drugs and murder is sanctioned by law, a sheltered young girl searches for the cure to her own rare disease as well as information about her family's mysterious history. After being sucked into the haunting world of GeneCo, she is unable to turn back, as all of her questions will be answered at the wildly anticipated spectacular event: The Genetic Opera. Directed by Darren Lynn Bousman (Saw II, III and IV), this futuristic horror rock opera stars Alexa Vega (Spy Kids), Anthony Stewart Head (TV's "Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), world-renowned opera singer Sarah Brightman (Broadway's "Phantom of the Opera"), Paris Hilton (House of Wax), Ogre (from the band Skinny Puppy) and Terrance Zdunich, with appearances by Bill Moseley (The Devil's Rejects) and Paul Sorvino (GoodFellas).

Harvest Week - MID Dinner?
Harvest Week: Celebrate Colorado's Bounty
Locavores may already be dedicated to the cause, but for those who find eating locally a challenge, Harvest Week is an excellent introduction (and education) into Colorado's exceptional products. Through Friday, September 18, many of the 50-plus members of Denver's Independent Network of Restaurants (DINR) present menus featuring locally produced food and beverages. Think locally raised goat shoulder and goat leg from Beatrice & Woodsley, grilled peach salad from Locanda del Borgo, young dandelion salad from 1515 Restaurant, and summer-squash corn chowder with dill pesto from Tables. Bonus: Harvest Week is also a celebration of Colorado-produced wines, beers, and spirits. Check menus for championed sips from Leopold Bros., Stranahan's, and local craft breweries and wineries.
