[Reel Pizza] update July 18 - 24

hi everyone

Hope you are staying dry!  It seems to be either feast or famine in the rain department this summer. 

Here is the update for this coming week.  I will be sending out the next schedule soon. 

We have another in our 5th Annual Sierra Club Free Summer Matinee Series, on Sunday July 20th.  At 2pm we will be showing A FIERCE GREEN FIRE (NR) about the history of the environmental movement in the US over the past 50 years.  Former Maine Conservation Commissioner and 2010 gubernatorial candidate Pat McGowan will be the guest speaker, and the doors will open at 1:30.

DAWN OF THE PLANET OF THE APES will continue a second week, and we will tickle your funny bone with 22 JUMP STREET.  Both these films run for the full week. 

Saturday night we will be participating in the annual Dine-Around Day to benefit Island Connections.  So if you come on Saturday eve, be sure to buy a pizza!  We will be donating a portion of the price of every pizza sold that night - eaten-in or taken-out - to them. 

And do stop in to see the beautiful woodcuts by Blue Butterfield gracing our lobby walls. This show will be coming down on Mon July 28th.

Ides of July!  Whoo hoo!

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

Fri July 18 - Thurs July 24
22 JUMP STREET  (R)  112min 6:00 and 8:30
Jonah Hill and Channing Tatum reprise their roles in this ultra-meta, irreverently silly and self-referential comic parody of the surprise success of 21 Jump Street.  Again directed by the hot duo of Chris Miller and Phil Lord (The Lego Movie) Jenko (Tatum) and Schmidt’s (Hill) home base has moved across the street.  Their boss (Ice Cube) tells them they have a new job, just like the old job and don’t do anything different!  So they are off to college where Jenko falls in with the fraternity jocks on the football team and Schmidt geeks out with the art crowd.  But the relationship between the two buddies sours, and it is unclear if they can remain partners.

This passionate, provocative film is the first big-picture exploration of the environmental movement - grass-roots and global activism spanning fifty years from conservation to climate change.  Narrated by Robert Redford, Meryl Streep and others, the film focuses on heroic activism, people fighting to save their homes, their lives, the future - and succeeding against all odds.  Feature Speaker is Pat McGowan, the former Commissioner of the Maine Department of Conservation.  The Maine Chapter of the Sierra Club offers this film series at no charge to get people focused on the environment. trailer
