[Reel Pizza] update

hi friends

We are coming into a period of a few weeks when our film schedule will not
necessarily follow the Fri-Thurs/Fri-Mon/Tues-Thurs format that we
normally use. So please read carefully and know that when Hollywood's
complicating rush of Wednesday film openings has passed, we will get back
to our regular programming.

This month we have one more Friday night IMPROVISION, our wild and crazy
collaboration between the talented folks from ImprovAcadia and Chris's
bizarre B movie collection, on this Friday 6/19. After July 4th, we will
begin having them on alternate Sunday nights through August. All the fun
starts at 11pm, don't miss out!

Brrr it was cold and raw last week for the Farmer's Market, but the
veggies and flowers stayed fresh and the hot food and coffee hit the spot.
Tomorrow, however, looks much more enticing. Hope to see you 9am - 1pm
Wednesday.

see you all reel soon
-Lisa and Chris

through Thurs 6/18
UP (PG) 96min at 5:30 and 7:45
A cranky, older widower (Ed Asner) and balloon salesman 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.

through Thurs 6/18
PARIS 36 (PG-13) 120min [in FRENCH with subtitles] at 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 - Tuesday June 23
ANGELS AND DEMONS (PG-13) 138min at 5:30 and 8:15
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.

Friday June 19 - Monday June 22
SUGAR (R) 114min [partly in SPANISH with subtitles] at 6:00 and 8:30*
(*I have one time incorrectly listed in the papers. The second show is at
8:30, (not 8:00.) Thanks for passing this on...)
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 (NR) 96min [in SPANISH with subtitles] at 6:00 and 8:00
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.

Wednesday June 24 - Thursday July 2
TRANSFORMERS (PG-13) 147min at 5:30 and 8:30
In the highly-anticipated sequel to the crowd-pleasing film Transformers,
Sam Witwicky (Shia LaBeouf, Indiana Jones) 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 for Transformers 1 and Star Trek) and Ehren Kruger (The Ring).
