Studio 666

All of us at the Rio Theatre were deeply saddened to learn of the sudden passing of the Foo Fighters‘ incredibly talented, wildly charismatic, and endlessly cool drummer, Taylor Hawkins, last week. We wanted to give Vancouver Foo fans another opportunity to see (and hear) the band’s new film on

King Richard

In what may be the standout performance of a prolific and undeniably dynamic career, Will Smith‘s portrayal of Venus and Serena Williams‘ father Richard Williams in KING RICHARD may yet earn him an Oscar. He has dominated his field this year, taking home the top prize from the Golden Globes,
