KCRW's Matt Holzman Hearts Oliver

And so does Orange County judging from the crowd’s reaction to the Center’s free screening of Oliver! on Monday night. KCRW’s Matt Holzman (along with his sisters) was here for the third installment of this summer’s Movie Mondays. Matt, host of the radio station’s preview screening club, selected Oliver! for the popular movies series and was also on hand to get the evening going. Click on the video above to hear what Matt said when we caught up with him before the movie. The screening of Oliver! was presented in partnership with KCRW. A big thanks to KCRW and Matt!

Dirty Dancing will be next in the free Movie Mondays lineup on August 2. Be sure to come early to see a free performance by a cast member of In the Heights and a fun “No one keeps Baby in a corner” contest with tons of fun-filled prizes.

Things Heat Up at Movie Mondays

Do you know the answer to: what movie did Jack Lemmon and Kevin Bacon appear in together? If you guessed JFK you’d have won the Some Like it Hot trivia contest last night at the Center’s free Movie Mondays. Frank Wong of Huntington Beach gave the correct reply to the tie-breaking question and went home with free tickets to The New Mel Brooks Musical Young Frankenstein which visits the Center September 12 – 25, a groovy glow ball and a Young Frankenstein DVD (pictured above). Other contestants won Young Frankenstein swag including medical bags, stethoscopes and DVDs. A big thanks to the Young Frankenstein touring production for providing the fun prizes.

Free Movie Mondays returns next week with Oliver! The movie is being presented in partnership with public radio station KCRW. Matt Holzman who hosts “Matt’s Movies” – KCRW’s preview screening club – will be at the Center to kick off the evening. Hope to see you Monday!
