Guess what day today is? It is Reel Pizza's 16th birthday! Can you
believe it? Seems like only yesterday we were drilling a hole in the side
of our (old) building to install the exhaust fan for the pizza oven
instead of starting our first scheduled show of PRISCILLA QUEEN OF THE
DESERT. (We did make our second screening however, and someone who came
in from away said we had a great place and had we ever considered
franchising! We laughed!)
Anyhow, we have come a long way since those early days! As you will
notice, this schedule runs from the first day of summer vacation until
after the 4th of July holiday, so don't be surprised or offended to see a
heavier percentage than normal of commercial shows. Booking film is
definitely an art form and the challenge is increased exponentially when
you don't have total control of what's available.
Also, please remember that on MONDAY JULY 4TH we will close up early,
after the early screenings of both scheduled films, in deference to the
fireworks display. If for some reason the fireworks are canceled, we will
remain closed that evening, but will stay open whenever they are
rescheduled. Let's hope they go off without a hitch!
And we have another installment of IMPROVISION Friday June 24th at 11pm.
Prepare with a restorative nap and/or a late cup'o'joe and join us and
ImprovAcadia for some outrageous fun.
The entire schedule is booked, but times for all the new shows are not yet
available, so we haven't finished with the screentimes. They will come
with the appropriate update.
Thank you ALL for a great 16 years, and here's a toast to at least 16 more!
Sincerely
Lisa and Chris

This female-centric adult comedy stars Kristen Wiig (SNL, Knocked Up) as a
woman whose life is on a downward spiral. Her bakery has just fallen
victim to the recession, her boyfriend isn't really very nice, and now her
oldest, best friend Lillian (Maya Rudolph) is engaged to be married. But
she has asked her to be the maid of honor. Even though she is broke and
lovelorn, she does her best to fulfill her obligations, while worrying
that another bridesmaid, Lillian's fiancé's boss's wife, is trying to take
over her place as Lillian's best friend and most important attendant.
Each event escalates the comedy and the conflict as the big day draws
nearer. This is the last screen role for the late Jill Clayburgh. Judd
Apatow produced, and Paul Feig (co-creator of Freaks and Geeks) directs.

In 2D. Intrepid and always fascinating filmmaker Werner Herzog (Grizzly

extraordinary and exclusive expedition into a nearly inaccessible and only
recently discovered cave in southern France, home to some of the most
ancient visual art known to have been created by man. This unforgettable,
beautiful documentary provides a unique glimpse of pristine, sophisticated
artwork, made by humans of the creatures of the forest, including bison,
cave-bears and woolly mammoths, over 30,000 years ago; the cave was
blocked by a rockslide some 20,000 years ago.

harnessed the infinite power of the ring before. When a new enemy,
Parallax, threatens to upset the intergalactic balance of power, the fate
of the corps and of Earth rest in the ability of Jordan to overcome his
