[Reel Pizza] update Jan 14 - 20

hi Everyone

To start, I would like you to know that Reel Pizza Cinerama now has an official page on Facebook.  I am just learning, and there isn't a lot up there yet, but if you use this social media, please feel free to check us out, and become our friend if you'd like.  And thank you to the person who made a "fan" site a while back.  We appreciate all the love!  And if you have suggestions for me, bring them on!

We will have a senior matinee this Thursday; the film is MORNING GLORY, showtime is 1:30pm.

On Sunday Jan 16th, we will host the 17th Annual Martin Luther King Jr. Day Celebration.  The festivities kick off at 1pm, and run through 4pm.   There will be a presentation by MDI High School students about their fundraising work for Artists for Peace and Justice: The Haiti Project, and the suggested donation of $5 will benefit this organization.  There will also be a slide show of images from post-earthquake Haiti taken by Haitian-American photographer Carl Juste of the Miami Herald.  Next will be a screening of the Michael Jackson film THIS IS IT (PG) 121min. The event will conclude with Lionel Ritchie's music video We Are The World 25 For Haiti. .  For more info. contact Robin Farrin at  farinphotography@gmail.com or  664-8209.    We hope to see you here.

And we have another week of film.  The next schedule is nearly done and I will send it off to you in the next day or so (if we don't have a snow day tomorrow...)  We expect to be showing some of the award-garnering films very soon.  In the meantime, mindless comedy!

Have a good week

-Lisa

Reprising their roles for another installment of the popular Meet The Parents comedy series, Ben Stiller is  male nurse Greg Focker, now raising twins with wife Pam (Terri Polo), the daughter of former CIA agent Jack Bynes (Robert DeNiro).  Over the past ten years he has tried to become accepted by his in-laws, and he is on the verge of success when a series of misunderstandings about a second job cash-strapped Greg takes up again raise suspicions and threatens to quash the standing he has worked so hard for with his father-in-law.  Directed by Paul Weitz (About A Boy).

UNSTOPPABLE  (PG-13)  98min   6:00 and 8:15
This classic runaway train story breathlessly hurtles towards its destination after an inept engineer accidently sends an unmanned train carrying toxic waste southbound on a northbound track towards a small Pennsylvania city.   Denzel Washington and Chris Pine (Star Trek) star as the two conductors, one a seasoned veteran, the other an arrogant rookie, who are charged with intervention before this out-of-control locomotive derails on a curve, using the help of a smart dispatcher (Rosario Dawson).  Director Tony Scott uses real stunts featuring actual trains on real tracks in making this genuinely thrilling and superbly crafted cinematic experience.

Tues Jan 18 - Thurs Jan 20
WAITING FOR SUPERMAN  (PG)  102min   6:00 and 8:15
On the short list for Best Documentary Oscar, director Davis Guggenheim (An Inconvenient Truth) has made a provocative, discussion-inducing film about education in America.  He puts a personal face on the crisis facing our national educational system, as more money has not been able to stem the tide in the decline of student�s abilities over the past few decades.  He follows several students from 4 US cities desperate to secure through lottery a rare place in a charter school rather than linger in their local school more likely to produce a dropout than a graduate.  Exploring the reality of public education for many, he gives voice to innovative solutions hopeful to bring reform and success to our children.
