[Reel Pizza] update

Good Earth Day Morning to Everyone!

We have special programming at Reel Pizza this coming weekend. On Sunday
April 26th at 2pm, the Bar Harbor Conservation Commission is sponsoring a
screening of ADDICTED TO PLASTIC, with ticket proceeds being donated to
Allied Whale at College of the Atlantic. This is a smart, funny and
illuminating documentary exploring plastic pollution around the world over
its 100 year existence. It also offers a wealth of expert, cutting edge
solutions to recycling, toxicity, and biodegradability, ending with a
hopeful perspective and many fun and simple solutions to combat this
invasive problem. Following the film will be a discussion. Help and
celebrate our planet, at the same time. See you then!

and our regular films for this weekend are...

Friday April 24 - Thursday April 30
ADVENTURELAND (R) 107min 6:00 and 8:15
It's the summer of 1987, and James Brennan (Jesse Eisenberg, The Squid and
the Whale), an uptight recent college grad, can't wait to embark on his
dream tour of Europe. But when his parents announce they can no longer
subsidize his trip, James unenthusiastically takes a lowly job at a local
amusement park. His summer will now be populated by belligerent dads,
stuffed pandas, and screaming kids high on cotton candy. Luckily, what
should have been his worst summer ever turns into quite an adventure as he
discovers love in the most unlikely place with his captivating co-worker
(Kristen Stewart, Twilight), and learns to loosen up. This new film was
written and directed by Greg Mottola (Superbad) based on his own
experiences.

Friday April 24 - Monday April 27
RACE TO WITCH MOUNTAIN (PG) 98min 5:30 and 7:45
Fun and engaging, this latest live-action Disney release is a
science-fiction adventure that only loosely resembles the original 1975
film. Dwayne Johnson (Game Plan) is a Las Vegas cabbie with a shady past
who picks up two teens (AnnaSophia Robb, Bridge to Terebithia, and
Alexander Ludwig) who are actually aliens from another world with
extraordinary superpowers. Chased by a variety of villains both human and
extraterrestrial, they team up with a discredited physicist (Carla Gugino)
who tries to help the kids return to their home and maybe also save the
Earth at the same time.

Tuesday April 28 - Thursday April 30
THE CAKE EATERS (NR) 95min 5:30 and 7:45
Actress Mary Stuart Masterson (Fried Green Tomatoes) makes her feature
directorial debut with a quirky and textured small town drama that
explores the lives of two interconnected families as they confront old
ghosts and discover love in the face of devastating loss. This
intricately woven and powerfully poignant film features a standout
performance by Kristen Stewart (Twilight) as a teenager who finds love
with a shy young man named Beagle, while her grandmother continues a
long-time romance with Beagle's father (Bruce Dern) after his wife dies.
This rewarding independent film with its excellent ensemble cast is full
of delightful small moments that elevate it into the sweet, intelligent
film that it is.


The MAY(!) schedule will be arriving to your INBOX shortly.
back with you soon.
