please sing along: "it's beginning to look alot like sum-mer, everywhere you go......." Hopefully, at least, we have had our last frost???
This Friday (6/6) at 11pm we present the first edition of another year of IMPROVISION, our occasional and wacky collaboration with the comic talents of ImprovAcadia, where we screen a grade-B movie from Chris' collection, with the sound turned off, and the Improv crew makes up an entirely new movie - dialogue, sound-track and sound-effects - to go with the images on the screen in a randomly selected genre. It's always great, way funnier than the original filmmakers ever intended, and a new show every time. Take a restorative nap and come check out the fun!
We are departing the text this week, as we will be opening a movie that was not advertised on our last flyer, the new Doug Liman-directed, Christopher MacQuarrie-written, Tom Cruise-starring EDGE OF TOMORROW which looks like fun (and isn't that what summer movie going is supposed to be about??) The link to the trailer is below, if you are interested. Or if that's not your style, we'd love to see you at the new Nicholas Cage indie drama, JOE, or the new Errol Morris documentary, THE UNKNOWN KNOWN. Rest assured that we will be presenting both CHEF and NEIGHBORS in the next schedule, which will be coming to your inbox shortly.
We send out our congratulations to the COA graduates who will be tossing their mortar-boards this weekend.
See you soon~

BRAND NEW! This fresh and engaging science fiction action film stars Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt, is directed by Doug Liman (SWINGERS, BOURNE IDENTITY, MR & MRS SMITH) from a screenplay by Christopher MacQuarrie (THE USUAL SUSPECTS) based on Hiroshi Sakurazake’s lauded 2004 novel, All You Need is Kill. Alien intruders are overtaking the Earth, and Major Cage, who has never see a day of combat is unceremoniously dropped into the battle on a suicide mission. But after he is killed, he finds himself inexplicably thrown into a repeating time loop where he relives this same day, learning something every time, putting him increasingly closer to defeating the enemy.
This satisfying and atmospheric drama features an affecting portrayal by Nicolas Cage returning to his indie roots. He plays a hot-tempered and violence pron but good-natured crew boss who meets a hard luck kid (Tye Sheridan, MUD) with an abusive alcoholic father. He tries to stay out of the kid’s troubles but finds himself becoming his protector, causing other problems. Director David Gordon Green (Prince Avalanche) has made a powerful film about the reality of the rural South’s underclass whose authenticity comes from a cast of non-actors. trailer

Expert and Oscar-winning documentary filmmaker Errol Morris (THE FOG OF WAR) takes on long serving Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, who served for Presidents George W. Bush and Gerald Ford, as well as other executive level jobs in the Nixon and Reagan administrations. This unsettling but smartly constructed and fascinating film, based on an extended interview lasting thirty three hours over eleven days and covering Vietnam, the Cold War, Desert Storm, the War on Terror and his penchant for memos, reveals a man who is more concerned with semantics and rhetoric than with the effects of that language. trailer
