[Reel Pizza] update April 2 - 8

hi everyone

I want you all to know about a new tweak to our website that we made recently.  Often we are frustrated by being unable to get preview trailers on 35mm film for every movie we plan to show, for many different reasons (like with this coming midweek show THAT EVENING SUN...the distributor didn't make any preview trailers at all.)  This limits our ability to promote them to you, especially as we often show films that are not heavily advertised on TV, and many you've never heard of.  Now you can watch trailers for all our coming films from links at our website.  On each individual film's page (reached by selecting the film title) you will notice another link at the bottom of the information "watch the trailer."  Click there to do just that and please spread the word.  

Our final Senior Matinee for the winter season will be this coming Thursday April 1st (no fooling!).  We'll be showing THE LAST STATION at 1:30.  We had a great time this year and look forward to having all our seniors back next winter. 

Here are the films coming to Reel Pizza Fri April 2 - Thurs April 8.  Happy Easter!

Fri April 2 - Thurs April 8
ALICE IN WONDERLAND  (PG)  108min   [in 2D]    5:30 and 8:00
With his trademark macabre imagination, visual master Tim Burton oddly, brilliantly brings the twisted vision of Lewis Carroll to life.  Alice (Mia Wasikowska, Amelia, That Evening Sun), about to be engaged to a dreadful bore, exits the party and follows the White Rabbit back down the hole to Underland, a place she once visited as a child, remembered as a dream.  She meets the Mad Hatter (Johnny Depp), the vanishing, smiling Cheshire Cat (Stephen Fry), a smoking caterpillar (Alan Rickman), and twins Tweedledum and Tweedledee.  Alice's job as fortold in legend is to destroy the Jabberwocky to return power to the benevolent White Queen (Anne Hathaway) from her tyrannical sister the Red Queen (Helene Bonham Carter) and her evil side-kick the Knave of Hearts (Crispin Glover).
 
Fri April 2 - Mon April 5
DEAR JOHN  (PG-13)  109min   6:00 and 8:30
Over spring break, idealistic college girl Savannah (Amanda Seyfried, Mamma Mia!) meets John (Channing Tatum), a young soldier home on leave, and they fall in love, even as he must return to his deployment and she back to school.  Over the years, they maintain a romantic correspondence with consequences neither could have foreseen.  Director Lasse Hallström (Cider House Rules) adapts Nicholas Spark's (The Notebook) novel into a comforting, sentimental, romantic melodrama.
 
Tues April 6 - Thurs April 8
THAT EVENING SUN  (R)  105min   6:00 and 8:30
Hal Holbrook (Into the Wild) gives a commanding performance in director Scott Teem's fine feature debut.  He plays an aging widower discarded by his lawyer son to a nursing home.  Fleeing back to his farm to live out his days in peace, he is astonished to discover at his arrival that his son has leased the farm to his long-time nemesis and his white trash family.  Angry with his son, haunted by his wife, he moves into an old shack on the property and, drawing a line in the sand, refuses to leave until the property is returned to him.
