Hello Everyone!

We have 2 surprise titles for you before we get to our 2 big films at the end of the year.  The first is a film that several of you have been asking about - SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE. Based on the award-winning book by Claire Keegan, this film already played in Dayton - but we think there's enough interest to bring it for a handful of screenings.  The second is a film that played for some special events at the multiplexes...but it's a really inspiring documentary that I think it may have gotten lost in the shuffle - SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY.  Both of these new films, along with THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT and QUEER, will only be here until Dec. 24.  FLOW will stick around for a few more screenings...but it will have its final day on Dec. 22.

And before you know it, we'll be moving on to two big films. On December 24 & 25, we'll be opening A COMPLETE UNKNOWN(with Timothée Chalamet as Bob Dylan) and NOSFERATU (directed by Robert Eggers) respectively. These will be the 2 big films to take us into 2025!

"Open Caption Mondays" are a hit and much appreciated by many of our regulars.  On Monday, Dec. 23, all screenings of QUEER, THE SIX TRIPLE EIGHT, SUPER/MAN and SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE will be presented with Open Captions (aka - captions presented on the screen). 

Synopsis for SMALL THINGS LIKE THESE:  "While working as a coal merchant to support his family, Bill Furlong discovers disturbing secrets kept by the local convent and uncovers truths of his own; forcing him to confront his past and the complicit silence of a small Irish town controlled by the Catholic Church." Starring last year's Oscar winner Cillian Murphy!

Synopsis for SUPER/MAN: THE CHRISTOPHER REEVE STORY: "Christopher Reeve portrayed the Man of Steel in four Superman films and played dozens of other roles that displayed his talent and range as an actor, before being injured in a near-fatal horse-riding accident in 1995 that left him paralyzed from the neck down. After becoming a quadriplegic, he became a charismatic leader and activist in the quest to find a cure for spinal cord injuries, as well as a passionate advocate for disability rights and care."

Synopsis for  A COMPLETE UNKNOWN: "New York, early 1960s. Against the backdrop of a vibrant music scene and tumultuous cultural upheaval, an enigmatic 19-year-old from Minnesota arrives in the West Village with his guitar and revolutionary talent, destined to change the course of American music." Timothée Chalamet plays Bob Dylan in this new James Mangold film which will certainly get some Oscar attention!  Screenings begin Dec. 24, and tickets are available now! (Please note, we are unable to extend the "Bargain Tuesday" pricing on this title on Dec. 24.)

Synopsis for  NOSFERATU: From director Robert Eggers comes a retelling of the classic "gothic tale of obsession between a haunted young woman and the terrifying vampire infatuated with her, causing untold horror in its wake."  Starring Lily-Rose Depp, Nicholas Hoult, Bill Skarsgård and Willem Dafoe.  Opens Dec. 25 - Tickets are available now!

Cult Movie Night presents DINNER IN AMERICA

Victor Bonacore is bringing back his popular "Cult Movie Night" with a more contemporary cult film - DINNER IN AMERICA. "An on-the-lam punk rocker and a young woman obsessed with his band go on an unexpected and epic journey together through the decaying suburbs of the American Midwest. After the original song "Watermelon" went viral on TikTok, audiences in droves are rediscovering this gnarly, punk rock rom-com from Adam Carter Rehmeier...DINNER IN AMERICA suffered the box-office fate of so many films when Covid-19 shut down theaters. Nearly five years later, the film has been selling out screens across the country from the IFC Center in NY to the Frida Cinema in Santa Ana, CA. It's a feel-good romance with an edge.
As always the film will be accompanied by trailers, a short film and other surprises.
