[Reel Pizza] (late) update

oh I am sorry this slipped by me...snow days throw me off every time!  better late than never, I guess....

Saturday afternoon March 7 we will host a fundraiser to assist in the restoration of COA's sunken gardens by senior (and former Reel Pizza employee) Dakota Strassner and fellow senior Tim Brubaker.  Sponsored by COA's Student Democrats Group, we will be screening DR STRANGELOVE or HOW I LEARNED TO STOP WORRYING AND LOVE THE BOMB at 1pm. 

Next weekend on Sunday March 15 we will be hosting a fundraiser for the Emerson School 8th Grade Graduation.  They will be screening Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, the one with Gene Wilder, in one auditorium, and playing bingo and having a silent auction in the other.  This event begins at 12:30, with the film starting at 1pm.

We haven't forgotten about SLUMDOG MILLIONAIRE, just still awaiting the good distributor to grant us a print to show you.  Maybe next week? (we'll keep asking until they provide).

Hope to see you soon.

Our regular screenings for Friday March 6 - Thursday March 12 are as follows:

Fridau Mar 6 - Thurs March 12
CORALINE (PG)  100min   5:30 and 7:45
Director Harry Selick (Nightmare Before Christmas) has made another spectacular stop-motion animated adventure, this based on Neil Gaiman�s internationally best-selling story.  Dakota Fanning voices Coraline, bored with her parents and in her new home until she finds a secret door and discovers an alternate version of her life on the other side.  This parallel universe seems to be quite similar to her real life, only better.  Then she discovers that it might actually be much more dangerous and she must summons all her resourcefulness and bravery to escape this increasingly perilous world and return home to save her family.

Friday Mar 6 - Monday Mar 9
LAST CHANCE HARVEY  (PG-13)  99min   6:00 and 8:15
This charming romantic comedy unites stars Dustin Hoffman and Emma Thompson as two down-and-out, older singles who find each other after particularly bad days.  He has come to London to attend his daughter�s wedding, only to discover after he has arrived that she wants her step-father to walk her down the aisle.  Then he leaves the wedding early to return to New York, misses his flight and loses his job.  She has a dead-end job surveying tourists at Heathrow Airport, an overbearing, deluded mother, and just endured an awful blind date where she was deserted.  These lonely people tentatively become friends and their relationship strengthens both of them.
 
Tuesday Mar 10 - Thursday Mar 12
I�VE LOVED YOU SO LONG  (PG-13)  117min  [in French, with subtitles]    6:00 and 8:15
In his first film, novelist and screenwriter turned director Philippe Claudel expertly explores the reunion of two estranged sisters.  Kristen Scott Thomas (Tell No One, The English Patient) gives an amazing performance as Juliette who is taken in by her younger sister Lea (Elsa Zylberstein) after a 15 year prison sentence, and must learn to have a life and relationships again.  Lea�s husband, their two adopted daughters, his elderly father, a family friend Michel, and Juliette�s parole officer all help her open up to the world once more while they deal with her secret crime and the mystery surrounding her actions.
