Here is the program schedule for Reel Pizza from Friday June 10 through
Thursday June 16. The last full week of spring!
We have special programming on Sunday June 12th at 2pm. It is the first
in a series of four films on environmental issues that we will be
screening this summer, sponsored by the Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club.
These films have FREE admission and at each will have featured speakers to
present the films and provide moderated discussion afterward.
The first film in the series is the Oscar-nominated film GASLAND (NR)
107min about the effects of natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing.
Linda and Robert Godfrey from SAVE PASSAMAQUODDY BAY will introduce the
film and take questions after.
Our regular evening film schedule includes the opening of the new JJ
Adams- directed, Steven Spielberg-produced SUPER 8, (finally) the
adaptation of the bestselling novel WATER FOR ELEPHANTS, and Susanna
Biers' Oscar-winning foreign language film from this year, IN A BETTER
WORLD.
Hope to see you soon!

Fri June 10 - Thurs June 16
SUPER 8 (PG-13) 112min 6:00 and 8:30
In the summer of 1979, a group of friends (Elle Fanning, Joel Courtney,
Gabriel Basso, and Zach Mills) in a small Ohio town witness a catastrophic
train crash while making a super 8 movie and soon suspect that it was not
an accident. Shortly after, unusual disappearances and inexplicable events
begin to take place in town, and the local Deputy (Ron Eldard), one kid's
father, tries to uncover the truth – and discovers something more
terrifying than any of them could have imagined. Not much else is known
about this mystery sci-fi thriller, directed by J.J. Abrams (Star Trek,
TV's Alias, and Lost) from his original script, produced by Steven
Spielberg.
Fri June 10 - Mon June 13
WATER FOR ELEPHANTS (PG-13) 115min 5:30 and 8:00
Rob Pattinson (Twilight), Reese Witherspoon (Walk the Line) and Christoph
Waltz (Inglourious Basterds) star in this brand new adaptation of the
best-selling novel by Sara Gruen, directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am
Legend). The story follows a young veterinary student who, after the
deaths of his parents, takes a job caring for the animals in a travelling
circus full of freaks and misfits, and falls in love with the star
performer of the show through their compassion for a particular elephant,
even though she is married to the charismatic but dangerous animal
trainer.
Tues June 14 - Thurs June 16
IN A BETTER WORLD (R) 113min [partly in Swedish and Danish with
subtitles] 5:30 and 8:00
In this year's Oscar-winning foreign language film, Danish director
Susanne Bier explores the choices people make between revenge and
forgiveness, as both parents and children must deal with the consequences
of circumstance and situation. Anton (Mikael Persbrandt, Everlasting
Moments) works in a war-torn African country as a doctor who must deal
with the atrocities dealt by a vicious war lord. His family remains in
Denmark where his son is bullied at school; the kid just takes the abuse
until one day a new student, whose mom just died from cancer, comes to his
defense in a big way. They form a strong bond, but subsequent events test
their friendship.

Sunday June 12
GASLAND (NR) 107min 2pm Free
Gasland is an Oscar-nominated documentary, directed by Josh Fox. After he
is asked to lease his land for drilling, he journeys across America and
discovers a trail of secrets, lies and contamination about natural gas.
The negative effects of natural gas drilling and hydraulic fracturing
range from poisoned water sources (picture things that burst into flame)
to unhealthy animals and people. Is natural gas a viable home-grown
alternative to the country's dwindling energy resources, or do the
potential harmful consequences outweigh the positive? Fox's film raises
these and many more probing questions. We will have a moderated
discussion after the film with Linda and Robert Godfrey from SAVE
PASSAMAQUODDY BAY. The Sierra Club offers these films at no charge to get
people focused on the environment.
