Screenings Marx the spot
A bona fide Marx Brothers festival is happening at the San Antonio Street Cafe at the Texas Hillel (2105 San Antonio St.), with “Monkey Business” and “Horse Feathers” next up at 8 p.m. Wednesday.
Shows continue Wednesdays through Aug. 2, with special introductions by local experts. Along with titles like “Duck Soup,” “Coconuts” and “A Night at the Opera” is a Marx Brothers exhibit at the cafe. Call 476-0125 or hit www.texashillelcafe.com.
Former Texan Scott Mechlowicz co-stars in the Nick Nolte drama “Peaceful Warrior,” and will do a Q and A following the 7 p.m. screening this Friday at the Dobie.

Nick Nolte was great. It’s interesting that the lessons he teaches the young athlete in Peaceful Warrior are very parallel to what he is probably digesting from the A.A. recovery menu.
The athletic comeback theme is a very tired one, which most people cannot relate to; but, since Nolte, as a handsome senior, is doling out the inspiration, we give it a 5.
