Thursday, February 18 - Celebrate Valentine's Day with the romantic drama The Lake House.  Keanu Reeves and Sandra Bullock star as Alex Wyler and Kate Forster, respectively an architect living in 2004 and a doctor living in 2006. The two share correspondence by leaving letters in a lake house mailbox that seems to transcend time.  Besides a great love story, the real star of the movie is the house (left).  Prior to the movie, you'll learn how it was constructed -- and destroyed -- all in few months time.  See the trailer here.  Sponsors: 

Thursday, March 18 - Infinite Space, a new documentary feature film, traces visionary genius John Lautner's lifelong quest to create “architecture that has no beginning and no end.”  It is the story of brilliance and a complicated life – and the most sensual architecture of the 20th century.  See the trailer here.  Sponsors:

Thursday, April 22 -- Visual Acoustics, a documentary on Julius Shulman, the most important architectural photographer of the 20th century.
