E.T. THE EXTRA TERRESTRIAL (1982)

There are those handful of precious, important films that have
undeniably shaped countless childhoods. Steven Spielbergs
childlike view of an alien encounter is one of them. E.T. has
already touched the heart of generations of young moviegoers
and its barely over three decades old. While most sci-fi films
since its release have been bogged down by CGI, E.T. remains
a brilliant example that all the computer wizardry in the world
means nothing if you dont care on an emotional level. E.T. will
always live in our hearts of moviegoers, both young and old,
because it makes us care and care deeply. 9/3
INDIANA JONES Trilogy
As Sam, an oddball Buster Keaton wannabe, Depp displays his
The three origianal and iconic movies that make archaeology a
kick-ass profession. All three films, back to back to back. 9/7
POLTERGEIST (1982)
This creative collision between Steven Spielberg, Frank Marshall
and Tobe Hooper is the real estate horror film of all time. This
is The Great Ghost Story for this and all future generations,
hitching up the Indian burial ground angle with a more current
medium the spectral jerks come through the TV! The film
that made us all afraid to watch the tube will give you bumps on
your arms and static on your set. Make sure to unplug your TV
and dig all the corpses out of your back yard before you come
to this show!! 9/8

CALL ME LUCKY (2015)
An inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny portrait of one
of comedys most enigmatic and important figures: Barry
Crimmins. Directed by Bobcat Goldthwait, this documentary
bravely tells Crimmins incredible story of transformation from
a rage-fueled funnyman into an acclaimed proponent of justice
who personified the healing power of comedy. 9/2
the SECRETY SOCIETY of FILM-MASONS | Session XXII
TANGERINE (2015)
The surprise film at this years Sundance Film Festival, director
Sean Baker found his transgender leads near the Donut Time
in the LA neighborhood and collaborated with them and other
transgender sex workers to create the movies richly detailed,
trash-talking characters and for its technical innovation; the film
was shot entirely on several iPhone 5S cameras. Its Christmas
Eve in Tinseltown and Sin-Dee is back on the block. 9/9

CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977)
After an encounter with a UFO, Roy Nearys mind is laden with

THE COLOR PURPLE (1985)

The movie was nominated for 11 Academy Awards, but lost in
every category. However, it was a major success with moviegoers, who were enthralled by then-newcomer Whoopi Goldbergs
portrayal of Celie, a young woman who finds her own identity
and purpose in life after years of suffering at the hostile hands
of a husband who treats her like a servant. The movie also
brought attention to Oprah Winfrey, who was cast as the defiant Sofia. In 1985 Winfrey was still something of an unknown
outside of Chicago and had yet to launch her talk show on
a national scale. Goldberg and Winfrey were both Oscarnominated, as was Margaret Avery, playing the saucy singer who
helps Celie discover her inner strength. While it divided some
critics, Roger Ebert hailed it as the years best film. 9/8
JAWS (1975)
Early in the hot summer, a hungry shark is found prowling the
waters of tourist-dependent Amity Island and it is up to police
chief Martin Brody to hunt down and kill this deadly predator,
with the help of a marine scientist and a grizzled fisherman
who has seen this sort of carnage before. Steven Speilbergs
1975 film (only his SECOND feature film!) created and perfected the summer blockbuster, and much like THE GODFATHER a few years earlier, elevated a sort of trashy paperback
into High Art. 9/10

GOON (2011)
A bouncer surrounded by brainiac relatives decides to prove his
worth by leading a ragtag team of underdogs to hockey glory.
Starring Seann William Scott and a tremendous supporting cast
of Alison Pill, Liev Schreiber and Eugene Levy, GOON is a
hilarious blast for the misfits among us. 9/28
KURT COBAIN: MONTAGE OF HECK (2015)
Experience Kurts life, art, and mind through his own unique
lens, bringing you as close to the generation-defining icon as
its possible to get. This first-ever fully authorized documentary
feature blends Cobains personal archive of art, music, written
word, and never-before-seen home movies with animation and
revelatory interviews from his family & closest confidantes. 9/1
Video Vortex:
ANGEL OF FURY (1992)
There are regular humans. And then there is Cynthia Rothrock.
The star of over 50 movies and a 5-time undefeated World Karate Champion, Rothrock is the planets foremost one-woman
devastation squad. Thats why were beyond excited to screen
this unhinged Indonesian battle-epic that pits Rothrock against
Peter OBrian aka Rambu, the Indonesian Rambo! VHS-only
insanity projected from VHS for only $1! 9/29
COOTIES with Elijah Wood Livestream (2015)
A chicken nugget contaminated with a mysterious virus infects
a small town elementary school. As the virus spreads & the
students become savages, the rag tag team of barely functional
adults must try and save the day. 9/17

RAIDERS OF THE LOST ARK (1981)

For nearly 3,000 years man has searched for the lost Ark of
the Covenant. No one knows its secrets and it is protected by
forces beyond your imagination. It is desired above all things
by both good and evil men. An army with the Ark in its possession would be rendered unstoppable...that is unless someone
else finds it first. Harrison Ford IS Indiana Jones in this Nazibashing romp around the globe on a race to find the lost Ark
of the Covenant. White-knuckle action and sly humor created a
masterpiece of cinema for the ages for all ages. 9/12
INDIANA JONES AND THE TEMPLE OF DOOM (1984)
Indiana is back in action and on to new adventures. After a deal
for an artifact in Hong Kong goes south, Indy and his best pal,
Short Round, are on the run with a whiny lounge singer they
picked up along the way. When their plane crashes in a poverty
stricken town in India, Indy takes it upon himself to investigate
their case of missing children as he searches for some mystical
stones. 9/19
INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE (1989)
If you learned anything from Raiders of the Lost Ark, its that
Nazis are bad dudes, and, after a pulse-pounding prologue that
gives us a compressed Young Adventures of Indiana Jones,
they are right back at it. This time, our swastika-wearing baddies
are after the famed cup of Christ, and its up to Indy and his
dad to save the day. 9/26

broken. 9/30 & 10/1

JURASSIC PARK Quote-Along (2003)

After this summers release of JURASSIC WORLD, the Action
Pack is celebrating by taking us back all the way to the beginning... to a time when John Hammond had a simple dream of
satisfying his lawyers and insurance agents so that he could
open a park where man would once again be free to walk the
earth with massive creatures that enjoy killing him while hes
hiding in the bathroom. So get in your self-driving electric jeep
and pay attention to the plastic cup of water as you make your
way to the theater, and prepare for a JURASSIC PARK experience unlike anything weve ever done before! 9/14
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (1977)
It has a beautiful sense of wonderment and imagination, yet is
as thematically dark as anything Spielberg has ever done (yes,
that includes SCHINDLERS LIST and POLTERGEIST). On
the one hand its about a man trying to discover the unknown
mysteries of the universe to find a connection with another
race. On the other, its about a man isolated from society by
irrational obsession he himself does not understand. 9/16
SAVING PRIVATE RYAN (1998)
Steven Spielbergs haunting examination of the Second World
War follows a group of U.S. soldiers that must go behind
enemy lines to retrieve a paratrooper who is the last surviving
Ryan brother after three have been killed in action. 9/22

THE PRINCESS BRIDE QUOTE-ALONG (1987)
Hello, my name is Inigo Montoya. You killed my father.
Prepare to die. Is there a more quotable line from ANY movie
than that one? Well, that quote or maybe the whole Mawwage
thing...or I guess the As you wish is pretty iconic, too. Oh

FOOD & FILM

HOOK Dinner Party (1991)
How big a deal was Steven Spielbergs HOOK when it was
filming in 1991? Stars like Michelle Pfeiffer, Tom Cruise, Demi
Moore, Warren Beatty, Mel Gibson and Prince came to visit the
set, just to get a sneak preview of Spielbergs Neverland.
At the time, HOOK ranked just behind TERMINATOR 2:
JUDGMENT DAY as the most expensive film ever produced,
so expectations were understandably sky-high. This whimsical sequel to PETER PAN featured Dustin Hoffman as the
malicious Captain Hook, Robin Williams as a grown-up Peter
Pan and Julia Roberts, then the hottest name in the business, as
Tinkerbell. 9/15
Your ticket includes the following themed menu, so you can
feast like a Lost Boy!

THE ROOM with Greg Sestero LIVE
Actor Greg Sestero will appear live at the screening. Since costarring in THE ROOM, Sestero has co-written the book The
Disaster Artist: My Life Inside The Room, the Greatest Bad
Movie Ever Made.
Whether or not Tommy Wiseau intentionally shot his film as a
black comedy, or if he is simply a completely inept filmmaker
(and actor) is utterly irrelevant. THE ROOM will stand the test
of time as one of the most mind-bendingly awesome offerings
to ever drop from the celluloid heavens.
Completely financed and distributed by Mr. Wiseau, this divine
piece of WTF-ery has built a cult following playing midnight
screenings across the country and solidified its place as an
insanely unique phenomenon. The Guardian described it as a
mix of Tennessee Williams, Ed Wood and R. Kellys Trapped
in the Closet. Thats about as apt a description as we could
possibly provide. 9/18
