[Reel Pizza] update Mar 14 - 20

Hi everyone

Ready for another blast???  UGH, not me, either! But we will be open tonight for brave souls and walkers.  Chris recently got 4wd so he will not ever be daunted by anything mother nature dishes out! 

Tomorrow 3/14 we will have our Senior Matinee of WOLF OF WALL STREET at 1pm.
Next Thursday 3/20 it will be AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY at 1pm.

For those of you who might be interested, I will mention that this Friday and Saturday our local Highschool Jazz bands are headed to Hampden for the state Jazz Festival.  If you can't make the trip, the performances are going to be live-streamed on whoufm.com and 100.1 fm radio.  MDI has 2 jazz bands and 5 combos in contention.  You can see one of these talented combos (HYPER) live right here at Reel Pizza next weekend (4/23) as part of the Conners-Emerson 8th Grade Graduation fundraiser.

Fri Mar 14 - Thurs Mar 20
AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY  (R)  130min   5:45 and  8:30
Meryl Streep and Julia Roberts both earned Oscar-nominations and headline this adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning play by the playwright Tracy Letts.  Directed by John Wells (The Company Men, TVs ER), the divergent lives of the strong-willed women (Roberts, Juliette Lewis, and Julianne Nicholson) of the Weston family who have come together after a family crisis, and all find themselves at their Midwestern childhood home with their caustic and vitriolic mother (Streep).  This story of a dysfunctional family is dark, witty and finally touching.
 
Fri Mar 14 - Mon Mar 17
LEGO MOVIE  (PG)  101min  5:30 and 8:00
An outstanding and entertaining animation for kids and adults both, this latest film from Phil Lord and Christopher Miller (Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, 21 Jump Street) explores the difference between following the directions and departing the text, in life and in Lego.  The imaginative story follows ordinary mini-figure Emmet, an obscure conformist thrust into the lime-light when he is mistaken for the most extraordinary person, the key to saving the world from an evil tyrant’s quest, a task to which he is woefully unprepared. 
 
Tues Mar 18 - Thurs Mar 20
THE ROCKET  (NR)  96min   5:30 and 8:00
This delightful small film is the feature debut of Australian documentary filmmaker Kim Mordaunt.  His film, inspired after making a documentary about Laotian children involved in bomb disposal, tells the story of a Laotian boy who, at birth, is believed by his elders to bring bad luck.  But he lives and as a teen his family is dislocated from their home because of the building of a dam.  After a calamity-filled journey through a land scarred by war, the boy sets out to prove he is not cursed by entering the most lucrative but dangerous competition in his country meant to bring on the drought-ending rains – the rocket festival.
