It has arrived...We are coming up on the last fall weekend for Reel Pizza
in 2011. Our closing night will be Monday Nov 7th. On Tuesday, we will
celebrate Pierce and Chloe's 14th birthday (!!!). Next we give the entire
place a thorough scrubbing and some needed repairs, and then we head off
for a few weeks to see family and recharge. Never fear, we will reopen
"for the season" December 26th, which falls on a Monday this year. Again,
(because we can't say it enough) THANK YOU ALL for supporting us and
allowing us to provide some fun and/or thoughtful entertainment for yet
another year.
Of course, our discount ticket card (THE BIG TICKET), single admission
cards and gift certificates in any amount are for sale as holiday gifts.
Send me an email, call the theatre at 288-3828 (leave a message if there's
no answer and we will get back to you) or mail us a check with your order
to PO Box 625, Bar Harbor ME 04609 and we will set you right up. Colin
will be taking care of business while we are away, so you shouldn't even
notice we are gone!
We have one last special program in this year...Sunday Nov 6th at 1:30 we
will be screening THE RAILROAD OF LOVE in honor of Veteran's Day, in the
spirit of reconciliation with our enemies, and with the cooperation of
several local peace and justice organizations. It is a free screening and
there will be time for discussion after.
Also, don't forget that tonight and tomorrow night we are screening
DANCING AT THE MILL, the Jeff Dobbs Documentary about the history of MDI.
Attending the screenings are participants in the film who will introduce
and take questions about the production, and a portion of the proceeds
will be donated to the MDI HISTORICAL SOCIETY.
Happy Thanksgiving to all; we will be back with you with a new schedule as
an early Christmas gift in mid December!
-Lisa and Chris

Fri Nov 4 - Mon Nov 7
PUSS IN BOOTS (PG) 90min 5:30 and 7:30
held over a second weekend BRAND NEW! Way before Puss (Antonio Banderas)
ever met Shrek, our suave and furry feline friend goes on a swashbuckling
ride, as he teams with mastermind Humpty Dumpty (Zach Galifianakis) and
the tough and street-savvy Kitty (Salma Hayek) to steal the famed Goose
that lays the Golden Eggs from evil and ugly Jack (Billy Bob Thornton) and
Jill (Amy Sedaris) trying to save his town. It's a hilarious and
courageous adventure of an unlikely hero, and the true story of a
notorious fighter, lover and outlaw, in boots.
Fri Nov 4 - Mon Nov 7
50/50 (R) 99min 6:00 and 8:15
Inspired by the personal experiences of screenwriter Will Reiser (Da Ali G
Show) , this is an original story about friendship, love, survival and
finding humor in unlikely places. Joseph Gordon-Leavitt (Inception, (500)
Days of Summer) is Adam, a clean-living, twenty something public radio
producer who is diagnosed with a rare bone cancer one day after
complaining to his doc about a sore back. Seth Rogan plays his best
friend who stays true through all the indignities, including radiation,
chemo, hairloss, surgery and more. In real life Rogan is Reiser's best
friend and took the same role. Anna Kendrick (Up in the Air) is the
therapist trainee who isn't quite sure how to help her new client.
Angelica Huston is his hovering mom. This film is unorthodox, observant,
honestly poignant, uplifting and very funny, all at the same time.
Sun 11/6
THE RAILROAD OF LOVE (NR) [in JAPANESE w/ subtitles] 1:30pm
Highlighting veteran's struggles after war, this wonderful documentary
tells the story of an Australian Catholic priest who led reconciliation
efforts between Australians and Japanese after WWII. Father Tony Glynn
showed unflagging generosity toward those stricken by poverty after the
war and, in the spirit of reconciliation and friendship, supported
Australia-Japan civilian associations towards that end. In depicting
Father Glynn's attempt to reconcile and re-create friendship between
former foes, including various historical footage from the period, this
documentary is a moving account of the history of Father Tony Glynn's work
with the friendship associations from both countries. Masanabu Ikemiya
will introduce the film. There will be representatives from Veterans for
Peace, Pax Christi, and the Peace and Justice Center in Bangor to lead
discussion afterward.
