The Singing Detective


A special advance screening of "The Singing Detective" was held Monday, November 3rd at 7:00 pm at the Hillcrest Cinemas.

Paramount Classics' stylized comedy, with Robert Downey Jr., Mel Gibson, Robin Wright Penn, Jeremy Northam, Adrien Brody, Jon Polito and Katie Holmes, was shown to an eager audience. Afterwards, director Keith Gordon participated in an informative and entertaining question and answer session.

Gordon was introduced by member Kyle Counts, organizer of the event, who reminded viewers of Gordon's earlier work as an actor ("Christine," "Back to School," "Jaws 2") and more recently as a director ("The Chocolate War," "A Midnight Clear"). "The Singing Detective" marks Gordon's most recent effort behind the camera.
