Well, the time has come. We have (nearly) reached our closing weekend. We thank each and every one of you for all your support and patronage over this past year and patience with our digital upgrade's learning curve. When we return in December we will have accumulated a backlog of excellent films that are presently only in limited release, or have not yet opened, to show to you all winter long.
Of course we encourage you to give Reel Pizza to your loved ones this holiday season. Gift Certificates are available in any whole dollar amount, Big Tickets remain at $55, and OneShot individual tickets are $6. Mail us a check with your order (PO Box 625 Bar Harbor 04609) and we will mail it back to you or on to another destination of your choice, OR catch us on the phone (or leave a message and we'll call you back 207-288-3828), OR of course, we'd be glad to answer any questions via email (info@reelpizza.net or reply to this.) Once Chris and I are back in town in early December there will also be office hours, if you want to stop by in person.
This last weekend we are departing the text somewhat. We have booked a movie not previously promoted as a possibility. Below is the description and trailer link. Hope you can make it in for one more show, otherwise we will see you starting December 26th when we reopen "for the season". Tho' these are the dark days, the light will return!
BTW we are headed to San Francisco driving north along the coast in a vintage VW Westphalia van.... hope to hike in the Redwoods, and get to Crater Lake if the weather allows. And for those of you with us since the beginning, the kids turn 17 early next month... Hard to believe...
xoxo-Lisa and Chris

THE BOXTROLLS (PG) 100min
From animation studio Laika (Oscar-nominated Coraline, Paranorman) comes their newest film, equally silly and sinister, about a quirky community of mischievous, underground-dwelling, nocturnal recyclers living a steampunk life beneath the town of Cheesebridge. They have lovingly raised a human orphan, Egg, but above, the people think the boxtrolls should be exterminated. When Egg’s friends start disappearing, he ventures into the light, where he meets feisty Winifred and tries to save his family. Based on British author-illustrator Alan Snow’s Here Be Monsters, this gloriously detailed, edgy and funny (in a Monty Pythoneque way, and including a hilarious song by Eric Idle) film features voice work by Ben Kingsley, Elle Fanning, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Tracy Morgan, and Toni Collette. trailer
THE GOOD LIE (PG-13) 112min [partly in Nuer and Dinka with subtitles] 6:00 and 8:30
Moving and engaging, this fictionalized story is about a group of Sudanese refugees set against a real backdrop (as seen in documentary GOD GREW TIRED OF US) who, after escaping civil war and a decade in a Kenyan refugee camp, end up in Kansas City, Missouri. Starring a group of Sudanese actors, many of whom are children of war, director Philippe Falardeau (Oscar-nominated MONSIEUR LAZHAR) brings a simple authenticity to this uplifting story of survival, triumph and culture shock as a group of young men, with the help of a spirited employment counselor (Reese Witherspoon) and her boss (Corey Stall), try to navigate the American way and reunite their family. trailer
