Main Art Theate - Layer Cake / TRON


Layer Cake
"In the directorial debut of producer Matthew Vaughn (Snatch, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels), Daniel Craig (Enduring Love, Sylvia) plays an unnamed hero who has made his fortune in cocaine and ecstasy. Planning to retire early, he is asked for two last favors: track down the missing daughter of Eddie Temple (Michael Gambon), and negotiate the sale of a huge shipment of ecstasy. Nothing goes as planned, and he quickly learns that getting out won't be easy.

TRON
Hacker/arcade owner Kevin Flynn is desperate to prove that the hottest videogames from ENCOM were stolen from him by a former co-worker, who is now a senior executive there. Flynn's efforts, however, are made fruitless by ENCOM's "Big Brother," the megalomaniacal Master Control Program. One night, the MCP catches Flynn in an attempted hack and pulls him into the virtual world. Flynn finds that the MCP is making life in the virtual world just as, if not more, miserable as in the real world. Flynn's only hope is to find TRON, a heroic independent system security program, and help him destroy the MCP to bring order to both worlds.Posted by Hello

Detroit Historic Buildings on The National Trust Historic Preservation "11 Most Endangered List"



Historic Buildings of Downtown Detroit, Detroit, Mich.

"Downtown Detroit boasts a rich array of architectural treasures reflecting its role as a major station on the Underground Railroad, an industrial powerhouse, the world-famous Motor City, and the home of Motown but today, many of these treasures are threatened by neglect and lack of vision. A hit list was recently issued by the city calling for the demolition of more than 100 buildings, and just last month, the Madison-Lenox Hotel, a 2004 11 Most site, was demolished. Detroits leaders need to work with developers and preservationists to breathe new life into old buildings and save the history of one of Americas great cities. "

Send a message to The Detroit City Council that we need to save our historic sites from the wrecking ball
