LATE NIGHTS: As I mentioned in a previous email, IMPROVISION is back! We
will have the pleasure of hosting the ImprovAcadia folks in collaboration
with Chris's love of cheesy grade B movies making a film-going experience
like no other! Dates are Fridays in June (6/5--THIS FRIDAY, 6/12 and
6/19), then Sundays in July and August (7/5, 7/19, 8/2, 8,16 and 8/30); we
also expect to continue into the fall, but dates are not set yet. Also we
will be scheduling some Rock'N'Reel (local bands accompanying silent
films) and Program-o-rama (open submission night) events SOON. All late
night programming starts at 11pm. We hope through these various events we
advance our mission to provide new and exciting ways to enjoy film.

FRIDAY June 12 - Thursday June 18
UP (PG) 96min 5:30 and 7:45
A cranky, older widower and balloon salesman (Ed Asner) attempts to escape
his neighborhood's gentrification and fulfill a lifelong dream by floating
his house away for an adventure, alone, to a remote South American
rainforest, only to discover that a young wilderness explorer has stowed
away on his craft and is coming with him. This latest Pixar animated film,
another great one from a venerated studio and writer/director Pete Docter
(Monsters, Inc, writer of Wall-E and Toy Story.) is a hilarious and
suspenseful journey to an unexplored world with an unlikely pair of mates.
Friday June 12 - Monday June 15
STAR TREK (PG-13) 126min 6:00 and 8:30
There is loads of anticipation for this new film, full of action, comedy
and cosmic peril, in the venerable series. Directed by JJ Adams (Lost,
MI:3), this prequel tells the story of the beginnings of the Starship
Enterprise, the most advanced starship ever created. Thrill-seeking farm
boy, James Kirk, and half-human, half-Vulcan Mr. Spock who was raised in a
world devoid of all emotion are bitter rivals but they must tame their
rivalry, making a powerful partnership to lead their crew through
unimaginable dangers as they fight an evil that threatens all mankind.
Live Long and Prosper!
Tuesday June 16 - Thursday June 18
PARIS 36 (PG-13) 120min [in FRENCH with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:30 When
the local music hall in a blue-collar neighborhood on the outskirts of
Paris is closed by the fascist landlord, three close friends are put out
of work. One, the recently divorced stagehand, loses custody of his 12
year old son, one is a handsome, radical-activist electrician, and the
third, the concessionaire, dreams of stardom using his talent for doing
impressions. One day these three decide to take hold of their destiny,
occupying the theatre hoping they can produce a hit musical which will
allow them to buy the place and change their lives for the better. The
arrival of a mysterious, beautiful singer turns their relationships
upside-down. This old-fashioned, sentimental and charming melodramatic
musical is from Oscar-nominated director Christophe Barratier (The
Chorus).

Friday June 19 - Monday June 22
SUGAR (R) 114min [partly in SPANISH with subtitles]
Miguel Santos is a young Dominican pitcher with extraordinary talent,
struggling to pull his family out of poverty. At age 19 he is chosen to
attend spring training and travels to Arizona where in an instant his
exceptional abilities become merely promising, then on to a small Iowa
town to play on a minor league team. In this Midwestern community he
tries to fit in but in his increasingly competitive world he becomes less
certain and more vulnerable and isolated. This beautiful, intelligent and
observant film, full of humor and empathy from the writing-directing team
of Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck (Half Nelson), wonderfully evokes the
immigrant experience. Roger Ebert: "the R rating is for relatively
inconsequential reasons."
Tuesday June 23 - Thursday June 25
SIN NOMBRE (R) 96min [in SPANISH with subtitles]
This riveting feature debut film from gifted director Cary Joji Fukunaga,
winner of awards for direction and cinematography in drama at Sundance,
weaves together two stories of people from Central America trying to come
to the US. Before they get near our border, however, these immigrants
must make an equally perilous journey through Mexico riding on the tops of
train cars headed north, avoiding the ruthless gangs from southern Mexico
who rob the travelers. One group is a teenaged Honduran girl with her
father and uncle headed to New Jersey where they have safe haven. Another
is a desperate Mexican teen whose gang life isn't turning out as he had
hoped. When their lives intersect, fateful decisions on both parts link
them together as they travel northward in the hope of new lives and
achieving the American dream.

Friday June 26 - Monday June 29
IS ANYBODY THERE? (PG-13) 92min
Not surprisingly, Michael Caine fully and exceptionally embodies the role
of the Amazing Clarence, a traveling magician slowly slipping into
dementia who has just begrudgingly become a resident of Lark Hill rest
home. Inquisitive 10 year old Edward (Bill Milner, Son of Rambow), the
young son of the proprietors, antagonized by having to give up his room
again, spends his days trying to capture on tape the sound of a soul
leaving a body. These two become kindred spirits in this
semi-autobiographical story from screenwriter Peter Harness and director
John Crowley (Intermission). It's an appealing, satisfying and delightful
small gem of a film.
Tuesday June 30 - Thursday July 2
We have not scheduled a movie here yet, but we most certainly will be open
and showing film. We hope to have something NEW in time for the July 4th
weekend. I will let you know what is happening when things are confirmed.
****************************
COMING SOON ON THE SECOND SCREEN:
(A promise to all you patiently waiting for A&D, it *will* be on this
schedule!)
ANGELS AND DEMONS (PG-13) 138min
Director Ron Howard and star Tom Hanks return for this sequel to The
DaVinci Code, based on Dan Brown's novel. Hanks again plays symbologist
Robert Langdon who has been summonsed by the church to help solve a murder
mystery at the Vatican. With the help of beautiful, enigmatic Italian
scientist Vittoria Vetra (Ayelet Zurer), he also discovers the resurgence
of a secret brotherhood with ancient roots, the Illuminati, which will
stop at nothing to advance their goals. These two embark on a non-stop,
action-packed hunt through sealed crypts, dangerous catacombs and deserted
cathedrals to help the Catholic Church survive.
TRANSFORMERS: REVENGE OF THE FALLEN (PG-13) 147min
In the highly-anticipated sequel to the crowd-pleasing TRANSFORMERS, Sam
Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf, Indiana Jones 4) again joins with the Autobots
against their sworn enemies, the Decepticons. Michael Bay returns to
direct from a screenplay written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman (both
writers of Transformers 1 and Star Trek) and Ehren Kruger (The Ring).
ICE AGE: DAWN OF THE DINOSAURS (PG) ??min
Ray Romano, John Leguizamo and Dennis Leary reprise their roles as Manny
the mammoth, Sid the sloth, and Diego the saber-toothed tiger in this new
installment of the popular animated show. Diego wonders if he's gone too
soft hanging with his plant-eating friends. Jealous of the impending
birth of Manny and Ellie's baby mammoth, Sid finds and steals some eggs,
because he wants a family too. But it gets him into trouble and the gang
has to rescue him from an underground tropical paradise…that is full of
dinosaurs and carnivorous plants that might like to eat them up!
THE HANGOVER (R) 99min
Director Todd Phillips (Old School) has made an outrageous buddy story and
detective yarn, a profanely raunchy comedy that could be the hit of the
summer. The story follows three groomsmen who take their groom on a
bachelor overnight to Vegas before the wedding. They wake up the next
morning remembering nothing of the night before but, their groom has gone
missing. Plus there's a baby in the closet, and a snarling tiger in the
bathroom, one of them has a missing tooth, another a hospital bracelet,
and the claim check they give the hotel valet delivers them a police car.
Quickly, with pounding heads they must backtrack and recreate the previous
night's events in hopes of finding their groom in time for the wedding in
Los Angeles. It is twisted, clever, and must-see funny.
