It's hot-as-hell and you're not gonna take it anymore! Okay, drama mama, why not head over to the Loft? Not only do they have AC (what! what!), but they also have a grab-bag full of movies playing. Take your pick!

On Friday, join Red Meat's Max Cannon as he hosts "the biggest, baddest short film contest in town," a la the Loft's website. If interested, bring your own short film (15 minutes or under) and they'll play it on the big screen. The Grand Prize is $200! Now that could buy you a lot of fireworks. Show starts at 9 p.m. Admission is $6 general/$5 for Loft members. Below is last month's winner, Eva Julieta Alcazar, who won for her animated short, "Niche."

Like War flicks? Come back Monday, July 4th, when Liberty Watch Radio and Inside Track present the action-packed, Oscar-winner, "Battleground." Come before the movie for burgers and dogs and ice-cool drinks on the patio. Show starts at 12 p.m. Admission is $6 general/$5 for Loft members.

If you like more irreverent war movies, stick around Monday night for the "TEAM AMERICA" sing-a-long! Curse and cuss your heart out with those little, filthy puppets. Come again (no pun intended) for the pre-show burgers and dogs. Pre-show starts at 6p.m. Show starts at 6:30 p.m. Admission is $8 general/$6 for Loft members.
