The Key Sunday Cinema Club is finally hitting Southern California--Santa Monica to be exact. The Key Sunday Cinema, quite popular in Washington, Boston, Portland and San Francisco, is akin to a book club for movie lovers. The group will meet on Sunday mornings at the Laemmle Monica 4-Plex theater and see a sneak preview. The catch is that the audience will not know in advance what film will be screened. Of course there’s always an exception so for the first screening, and the first screening only, organizers have announced that they will screen “Man of the Century,” a screwball comedy about a modern-day newspaper reporter who thinks he’s in the 1920s. After the screening, the group’s L.A. moderator, Dana Polon, a USC professor of cinema studies, will lead a discussion with Gibson Frazier, the lead actor, co-writer and producer of “Man of the Century,” and audience members.

* Key Sunday Cinema Club, Monica 4-Plex, 1332 2nd St., Santa Monica. (310) 394-9741.
