Willow. So how, exactly, did Hollywood release a fantasy movie where a bunch of people with actual medical dwarfism played magical dwarves? Well, it was the '80s, for one. And the film's producer/writer George Lucas had recently finished the ewok-filled Return of the Jedi, so he had more money imaginable to throw at literally whatever he wanted, even if it turned out to be one of the most ridiculous sword-and-sorcery-and-slapstick-early-computer-graphics-mishmash ever set to film. It turned out to be a pretty fun film, too. Casa Video invites you in on the wonder. 7 to 9 p.m. Friday, March 8. 2905 E. Speedway Blvd.
Captain Marvel. Here's your opportunity to be a hero as well! The Tucson Atheist Community Outreach Team is hosting an event at Roadhouse Cinemas with proceeds benefiting Emerge Center Against Domestic Abuse.

Well, head over to Murphy-Wilmot Library's latest addition of their "Armchair Adventures" series, where world travelers share slides, videos, and stories of their adventures. Presenter Pat Dwyer will be discussing trips to the Nubian Desert of Sudan. 2 to 3 p.m. Tuesday, March 12. 530 N. Wilmot Road.
Morocco. As 1930 rolled around, and Hollywood embraced the advent of sound, they took every chance they had at heightening drama. Director Josef von Sternberg's romantic melodrama was certainly no exception. Morocco follows the career of a cabaret singer fleeing her former life, and performing in North Africa. While entertaining, she meets a strapping young legionnaire. Is romance soon to ensue? Of course it is. You knew that. 7:30 to 9:15 p.m. Thursday, March 14. 3233 E. Speedway Blvd. Regular admission prices.
