We’re cleaning house this week! If you need to see HITCHCOCK/TRUFFAUT, MUSTANG, SON OF SAUL or LADY IN THE VAN, Thursday will be your last chance to catch them at THE NEON. On Friday, we’ll begin a film that many of you have expressed excitement about – HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS – starring Sally Field. In addition, we’ll begin a film by master filmmaker Terrence Malick with a star-studded cast – KNIGHT OF CUPS.

Synopsis for HELLO, MY NAME IS DORIS: “When Doris Miller meets John Fremont, her company’s hip new art director, sparks fly-at least for Doris. In the cluttered house she shared with her late mother, Doris mines the Internet for information on her one-and-only, guided by the 13-year-old granddaughter of her best pal Roz. When Doris begins showing up at John’s regular haunts, she wins over his Williamsburg friends. Her new life brings Doris a thrilling perspective, but also creates a rift between her and her longtime friends and family, who believe she’s making a fool of herself over a guy half her age. Eager for all the experiences she has missed out on, Doris throws caution to the wind and follows her heart for the very first time.” VARIETY wrote, “A showstopper. Sally Field shines.”

Synopsis for KNIGHT OF CUPS: “Knight of Cups follows writer Rick (Christian Bale) on an odyssey through the playgrounds of Los Angeles and Las Vegas as he undertakes a search for love and self. Even as he moves through a desire-laden landscape of mansions, resorts, beaches and clubs, Rick grapples over complicated relationships with his brother (Wes Bentley) and father (Brian Dennehy). His quest to break the spell of his disenchantment takes him on a series of adventures with six alluring women: rebellious Della (Imogen Poots); his physician ex-wife, Nancy (Cate Blanchett); a serene model Helen (Freida Pinto); a woman he wronged in the past Elizabeth (Natalie Portman); a spirited, playful stripper Karen (Teresa Palmer); and an innocent Isabel (Isabel Lucas), who helps him see a way forward. Rick moves in a daze through a strange and overwhelming dreamscape — but can he wake up to the beauty, humanity and rhythms of life around him? The deeper he searches, the more the journey becomes his destination.” THE VILLAGE VOICE wrote, “KNIGHT OF CUPS might be both the most intoxicating film [Malik] has ever made-a deluge of gorgeous, kinetic images and sounds-and, in some ways, the most perplexing.” Click this LINK to visit the film’s official site.

Local Salon Hosts Cut-A-Thon For Clean Water

By Leave a Comment

cuthathonSquare One Salon and Spa is hosting it’s fifth annual Earth Day Cut-A-Thon for Clean Water.  It’s the best way to get pampered and make the most of your donation dollars.  100% of proceeds from the Sun, April 6th event will be donated to The Sierra Club of Ohio to raise money for clean water efforts locally.

According to co-owner Brent Johnson, “we believe in supporting our community in a variety of ways. We are especially motivated to improve the environment through clean water effects and recycling. We have recycled everything that comes in our salon for more than a decade now. We also partner with Aveda, which is THE most environmentally conscious beauty company ever. They’ve been green since its inception in the 70’s with leadership from the creator Horst Rechelbacher (who just died this year). ” Horst’s signature pitch was, “Don’t put anything on your skin that you wouldn’t put in your mouth.” At sales conventions and in videotaped interviews, he often demonstrated that principle by drinking hair spray and other products made by his company. Make your reservations now to support this cool cause.  The Centerville location, at the corner of  routes 48 and 725 will be open from 10am – 5pm and can be reached at 937-433-4900,  The newly expanded downtown location on Third Street will take appointments from noon -5pm, call 937-461-2222 or you can even book a Square One appointment online.

Can’t make it on April 6th, but still want to support?  Pick up a raffle ticket for  a $500 gift basket to be given away on April 30th. $250 GC for the services of your choice and $250 for the Aveda products of your choice.  You can also purchase A $12 Aveda candle and the entire $12 goes to the global green grants find that gives money to under served communities around the world to dog wells for fresh drinking water. So mothers can spend more time with their families, children can go to school and the community stays healthier and in their native areas.
Snacks provided by Fusian for guests that day too. Thanks Fusian.

 

 

Be sure to pick up this year’s limited edition AVEDA Earth Month Candle. 100% of the $12 for this candle is donated to the Global Green Grants Fund to help support clean-water projects in communities around the globe!
