Wow, we have a busy first week of March ahead of us with lots going on at Reel Pizza. Is this what they mean by coming in like a lion? ROAR!
The Senior matinee on Thursday 3/4 will be THE YOUNG VICTORIA at 1:30pm.
On Saturday 3/6 we will be screening the film VICTORY (PG) 116min at 2pm as a benefit for the scholarship program of the ACADIA FIRE SOCCER CLUB. Suggested donation is $5, and the doors will open at 1:30. Michael Caine, Max von Sydow, Sylvester Stallone and soccer stars Pele and Bobby Moore star in director John Huston's rousing 1981 film about a soccer match between Allied prisoners of war and their German captors. The Germans plan to use the match as a staged propaganda event, while the prisoners hope to escape during half time.
Sunday 3/7 please be aware our schedule is rearranged because of the Academy Awards. There will be no regularly scheduled evening shows; instead we will show our regular films at 2pm matinees only on Sunday afternoon.
At 6:30pm we will open the doors for all the fun of our 8th annual OSCAR NIGHT GALA CELEBRATION, this year benefiting the BAR HARBOR FOOD PANTRY. Fabulous hors d'oeuvres presented by Sassafrass Catering, Cas Ole and other local chefs, delectable cake from the pastry chef at Poor Boys, complimentary champagne (thanks to Gaylen's Galley), door prizes donated by local businesses, especially for the best costumes both movie character-related and formal wear are all part of the fun. Mark a ballot of your picks of who should receive awards to be entered to win a Grand Prize... We have screened many of the nominated films this year, so you could be well-informed! Join hosts Steve Martin and Alec Baldwin and all the Hollywood stars at the Kodak Theatre and Frank Bachman live in person MCing the Ceremony on both screens. Tickets this year are just $15 per person, and are now available at the Reel Pizza box office or from Food Pantry board members. They will also be available at the door the night of the event. This is always a great time and supports a great local cause. We hope to see many of you here.

A SINGLE MAN (R) 99min 6:00 and 8:15; **2pm ONLY on Sunday
Colin Firth (Mamma Mia!, Easy Virtue) gives an impressive performance as a closeted gay, British ex-pat, literature professor in 1962 Los Angeles. He has decided that today will be his last; he can no longer contain the grief over the death in a car crash of his long-time lover (Matthew Goode) many months earlier. His unremarkable day follows its usual pattern, teach class, run some errands, talk to a neighbor, visit an old friend (Julianna Moore), meet up with a promising student (Nicholas Hoult). At the day's end, he intends to kill himself. Based on the landmark Charles Isherwood novel, this first film from fashion designer Tom Ford is thoughtfully restrained, stunningly beautiful and powerful. *ONE OSCAR NOM: Best Lead Actor.
Tues March 9 - Thurs Mar 11
THE MAID (NR) 94min [in Spanish with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:15
This comic, humanist drama from young Chilean director Sebastian Silva won two jury prizes at Sundance, for world drama and for the performance of star Catalina Saavedra. She plays Raquel, a housekeeper who has worked for the Valdez family for the past 23 years, and they consider her a part of their family, even though the relationships are complex. She is also increasingly plagued by migraines, so Mrs. Valdez hires another domestic to help ease her load over her maid's strenuous objections. Psychological warfare ensues as she struggles to maintain a hold on the only job she's ever done, and the only family she has.
