Hello Everyone!

This Thursday marks the start of a film that could end up being a big contender for Academy Awards.  CONCLAVE, directed by Edward Berger (ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT), stars an incredible ensemble - helmed by Ralph Fiennes. You don't want to miss this one on the big screen!  If you still need to see WE LIVE IN TIME, it will be here one more week.  Sadly, SATURDAY NIGHT has to leave...Thursday will be its last day. 

Next week, we have a documentary that's perfect for anyone who loves movies - MY NAME IS ALFRED HITCHCOCK, (currently rated "100% Fresh" on rottentomatoes), and on Nov. 8, we'll open one of the best reviewed films of the year (and a sure bet for a "Best Picture" nomination) - Sean Baker's ANORA. On Nov. 14, we'll open the Sundance winner A REAL PAIN - written & directed by Jesse Eisenberg. Click the titles to watch each film's trailer. (Tickets for opening weekend of ANORA and A REAL PAIN are already on sale!)

"Open Caption Mondays" are back!  On Monday, Oct. 28, all screenings of CONCLAVE & WE LIVE IN TIME will be presented with Open Captions (aka - captions presented on the screen). 

Synopsis for CONCLAVE: From the director of ALL QUIET ON THE WESTERN FRONT comes CONCLAVE - based on the novel by Robert Harris. "Cardinal Lawrence is tasked with leading one of the world's most secretive and ancient events, selecting a new Pope. Once the Catholic Church’s most powerful leaders have gathered from around the world and are locked together in the Vatican halls, Lawrence finds himself at the center of a conspiracy and discovers a secret that could shake the very foundation of The Church."

CULT MOVIE NIGHT: HALLOWEEN III - SEASON OF THE WITCH

Victor Bonacore is bringing back Cult Movie Night for a 2nd time in October - the series' favorite month. "Continuing with our theme of killer trick or treaters, this time it’s the notorious HALLOWEEN: SEASON OF THE WITCH!  Easily the most unique, divisive entry in the most popular horror franchise of all time. This one completely sways from the first 2 HALLOWEEN films and takes a much different approach by distancing itself from the Michael Myers character. The idea didn’t last as the 4th one went back to the roots of the original, but this one remains extremely special.  
This 1982 film is clever, unsettling and ahead of its time. Many fans share the same experience with it, they hated it as a kid, but then we discovered the genius of the film and how great it really is.  It’s the perfect film to countdown to Halloween..."
