Head over to Hal & Mal’s Red Room for the Crossroads Film Society presentation of “This Film is Not Yet Rated.” This daring and funny documentary explores the mystery of the MPAA, a lobbying organization for the movie industry, and its hitherto unquestioned censoring process. 7 p.m., $7 ($5 for members). 601-510-9148 .

I need to watch this so I can review it for my civil liberties site, and Hal & Mal’s would be the perfect location to do it, but unfortunately I’m sick as a dog. To the rest of y’all: Make it! The movie rocks by all accounts. Cheers, TH
