[Reel Pizza] "regular" update Jan 10 - 16

hi everyone
Here is the schedule for this coming week. 

(I will email again later this afternoon to confirm WADJDA for tonight, once the drive arrives and it is successfully injested (the industry's word, not mine!) into the projector.  We don't anticipate problems, but you never know...)

Also, hopefully later today, or tomorrow, I expect to email you the next full schedule. 

Thursday Senior Matinees start this week (tomorrow!) we will have THE HOBBIT 2: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG (PG-13) which will start at 1:00.

see you soon!
-Lisa

Starting Friday we have:

Fri - Thurs    CAPTAIN PHILLIPS  (PG-13)  5:30 and 8:15
Fri - Mon    RUSH   (R)  6:00 and 8:30
Tues - Thurs    THE SUMMIT  (R)  6:00 and 8:00


Fri Jan 10 - Thurs Jan 16
CAPTAIN PHILLIPS  (PG-13)  134min   5:30 and 8:15
Paul Greengrass (Bourne Ultimatum, United 93. Bloody Sunday) gives this taut film, based on true events, an urgency and humanity as he recreates the 2009 hijacking of an American cargo ship off the coast of Somalia using a script written by Billy Ray (Shattered Glass).  Tom Hanks stars as the ship’s captain who is taken hostage after a group of impoverished Somali fishermen (played by first time actors, once Somali refugees now from Minneapolis) manage to board his vessel brandishing automatic weapons.  The relationship of the ship’s Captain to the one English speaking Somali as they engage in an increasingly tense game of cat and mouse is riveting and powerful.  This film, with 4 Golden Globe nominations, is sure to receive some Oscar attention.   trailer

Fri Jan 10 - Mon Jan 13
RUSH  (R) 123min   6:00 and 8:30
Ron Howard’s (Frost/Nixon) latest thrillingly recreates the merciless and legendary rivalry between winning Formula 1 racecar drivers, gifted hedonistic British playboy James Hunt (Chris Hemsworth, Thor) and his disciplined, blunt Austrian opponent Niki Lauda (Daniel Brühl, Inglourious Basterds).  This entertaining comic drama from screenwriter Peter Morgan (The Queen) fully captures the exhilaration of the popular circuit’s dramatic 1976 season while being a thought-provoking character study of two very different men both on and off the track.  It recently earned Golden Globe Nominations for Best Drama and Best Supporting Actor (Brühl).   trailer

Tues Jan 14 - Thurs Jan 16
THE SUMMIT  (R)  95min     6:00 and 8:00
K-2, the second highest of Earth’s peaks was first conquered in 1954 and is known as Savage Mountain, as one in four climbers does not survive.  On a fateful day in August 2008, nearly two dozen climbers from many countries set out to complete the challenging trek to the summit but one by one, the mountain took half of them.  This complex and absorbing documentary, created by director Nick Ryan and writer Mark Monroe, uses climbers’ first hand footage, seamless reenactments, and after-the-fact interviews to tell the stories of those who returned and those who did not, in particular, the extraordinary Ger McDonnell.  This was the winner of the Best Feature-length Mountain Film at this year’s Banff Film Festival.   trailer
