I want you all to know that the 17th edition of the Maine International Film Festival (MIFF) starts in Waterville at Railroad Square Cinema and other local venues this Friday and runs for ten days. Be sure to check out the link above and do go if you are able; there are many excellent films and other activities to choose from! If trekking to central Maine in mid-July doesn't work for you, don't forget that in mid-September (9/12 -15 this year) Reel Pizza hosts MIFF By-the-Sea, a curated mini-festival of about a dozen films, plus two shorts programs, picked from the 100+ shown this week, plus our own special additions.
Great News! Paul from Happytown Farm dropped off the first of this year's basil! So the special basil pizza is back until the hard frost. And we have been using his fab salad greens for several weeks now. I want to remind everyone that we have other options from the kitchen besides pizza. Don has been making some awesome quinoa salad, and he's had gazpacho and other lighter summer food too.
Here's a reminder about this coming week's films. Again, both films run for the full week, and APES continues for another week following.
Are you sailing? Swimming? Gardening? Hiking? Hope summer is being very good to you!
See you soon.

BELLE (PG) 105min 6:00 and 8:30
Inspired by an unusual painting, this opulent and stirring period costume drama tells the story of two real-life 18th century cousins; one, Belle, is the illegitimate bi-racial daughter of a Royal Navy Admiral who bequeathed her a substantial fortune, the other, Elizabeth, a white girl without any inheritance and abandoned by her father, both being raised with privilege by their aristocratic great-uncle (Tom Wilkenson), a powerful judge, and his wife (Emily Watson). Belle’s unique heritage causes gossip and mixed messages about her status in the home. When the girls both come of marrying age, her uncle is considering a landmark case about an insurance claim after a slave ship massacre. His nieces cause him to reconsider his opinion. trailer
Fri July 11 - Thurs July 24 two weeks!
DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES (PG-13) 127min 5:30 and 8:15
Brand New! Andy Serkis (LOTR, The Hobbit) reprises his role as Caesar. He leads a growing nation of genetically evolved apes that are threatened by a band of human survivors of the devastating virus unleashed a decade earlier. The two sides reach a fragile peace, but it proves short-lived, as both are brought to the brink of a war that will determine who will emerge as Earth's dominant species. Also starring are Gary Oldman (Harry Potter, The Dark Knight), Keri Russell (Waitress, Wonder Woman), Jason Clarke (Zero Dark Thirty, The Great Gatsby) and Kodi Smit-McPhee (The Road, Birder’s Guide to Everything). trailer
