Grr. Technicolor doesn't issue screening keys till 24 hrs prior to the show. So I will be pre-screening The Godfather on Saturday for our Sunday show. Sure hope nothing goes wrong. I don't understand why a movie thats been out on various video formats for decades must have a key!

You're so fortunate! Many times, our keys don't unlock the feature until 12:01am on the day of show.

The Landmark Loews Jersey – The Wonder Theatre Of New Jersey

The Landmark Loews Jersey Theatre is the metro area’s favorite venue for classic films!

The theatre is located directly across from the PATH subway station connecting Manhattan with Jersey City and it is also easy to reach from most area highways. Secure discounted parking is located directly behind the theatre. Have your parking ticket validated at the theatre’s boxoffice.

As Always, All Our Show Are Still Presented Exclusively From High Resolution 35mm Motion Picture Film With Genuine Carbon Arc Projection, On Our Giant 50 Foot Wide Screen.

This coming March 30th & 31st features three Deadpan Humor/Crime films.

Friday March 30th at 8:00pm – The Big Lebowski (1998)

Jeff Bridges, John Goodman, Julianne Moore, Steve Buscemi. Directed by Joel Coen.
(127 minutes, Color) Rated R.

A story of mistaken identity complicated by extortion, double-crosses, deception, embezzlement, sex, pot and gallons of White Russians. It's a series of bizarre vignettes, which might be a problem if they weren't so funny. The title character, brilliantly played by Jeff Bridges, is a latter-day stoner version of Philip Marlowe.

Saturday March 31st at 6:00pm – Fargo (1996)

Frances McDormand, William H. Macy, Steve Buscemi, Peter Stormare, Harve Presnell.
Directed by Joel Coen. (97 minutes, Color) Rated R.

Frances McDormand stars as Marge Gunderson, a very pregnant police chief whose affable, folksy demeanor only partially obscures the fact that she's a clever, observant and very effective cop. When a pair of motorists are found slain not far from the corpse of a state trooper, Marge begins piecing together a twisted case. Frances McDormand won the Best Actress Oscar for her role.

Saturday March 31st at 8:10pm – Pulp Fiction (1994)

Starring John Travolta, Samuel L. Jackson, Uma Thurman, Havey Keitel, Bruce Willis.
Directed by Quentin Tarantino. (160 minutes, Color) Rated R.

The Oscar-winning script by Tarantino and Roger Avary weaves a twisted morality play as it joins the eventually intersecting storylines of Los Angeles mobsters, small-time criminals and a mysterious briefcase. The surreal yet realistic atmosphere, long takes and wittily pop-literate non-stop dialogue emotionally engage the viewer in the minutiae of the characters' experiences even as the film also comments on their status as pulp creations, rendering the moments of shockingly baroque violence simultaneously ghastly and humorous.

If anyone is in or around Northern Colorado or Denver, my theatre, The Lyric Cinema Cafe, is hosting screenings of Terry Gilliam's Brazil from April 6th through April 12th. We're getting a 35mm print of it, which I find pretty exciting.

We're giving away cool stuff too, like a Brazilian wax!

I didn't even know about this until this morning when I checked the grosses. Was it well publicized in other areas? Anyone see it and can confirm the description in the article?

Watching Casablanca, Digitally Projected, at a Big Multiplex
Posted on March 22, 2012 by Lincoln Spector
Last night, Turner Classic Movies and Fathom–a company that distributes high-definition operas and stage plays to movie theaters–presented Casablanca in 485 theaters–mostly or entirely big multiplexes–across the USA. Needless to say, the movie was digitally projected. The event was tied to Casablanca’s 70th anniversary.
In fact, the show was officially titled Turner Classic Movies Presents Casablanca 70th Anniversary Event.

My theatre showed Casablanca yesterday. Since I am still on vacation until 4pm today, I don't know how the show did. We're also doing screenings for the 20th anniversary of The Bodyguard and the 40th anniversary of The Godfather in the coming week, also through NCM Fathom.

I did see it. It wasn't a DCP, but looked ok. Not good enough for the $11+ ticket price. For that we should have gotten a DCP.

And of course, most multi's can't mask to 1.33:1 so that was a minor annoyance. Sound was very nicely mono from the center only.

It was fun to see, and the crowd was well over 100 people. It's too bad the presentation wasn't as good as it could have been. SMH.

This coming April 27th & 28th features a weekend of nautical disasters certain to give you that sinking feeling…

Friday April 27th at 8:00pm – Lifeboat (1944)

Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak, Hume Cronyn.
(100 minutes, B&W)

A tiny lifeboat adrift in the North Atlantic holds eight survivors of a Nazi torpedo attack, spanning various classes and walks of life. A day later, the castaways pick up another passenger, a survivor from the German U-boat. At first everyone assumes he is just a simple seaman, but it develops that he is in fact the U-boat’s captain, fluent in English and very intelligent – perhaps dangerously so.

Saturday March 31st at 6:00pm – A Night To Remember (1958)

Starring Kenneth More, Honor Blackman, David McCallum, Jill Dixon.
Directed by Roy Ward Baker. (123 minutes, B&W)

It was 100 years ago this month that the HMS Titanic sank, and this film lays out the human side of the tragedy, offering an emotionally potent look at those who survived and the many who did not, while it also clearly depicts the reasons, technical and human, behind the shipwreck. Kenneth More heads a huge and stellar cast, with 200 speaking parts, as the Second Officer from whose point of view the story unfolds.

Saturday March 31st at 8:25pm – The Poseidon Adventure (1972)

Starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Carol Lynley, Roddy McDowall, Stella Stevens, Shelly Winters, Jack Albertson, Pamela Sue Martin, Leslie Nielsen. Directed by Ronald Neame.
(117 minutes, Color)

After a massive tidal wave capsizes the Poseidon on her last voyage before being scrapped, the survivors divide into two groups: those who stubbornly remain where they are to await the help they are sure will come, and a handful who bravely follow impassioned Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman) in what he believes is their best chance for rescue by forging their way upward through the shattered, upside-down ship, toward what was the bottom of the hull but is now on the ocean's surface.

Jock, do you know why they are playing a 2K of RAIDERS when there's a 4K available?

John, that's news to us! It was difficult enough to get Paramount to cough up the 2K, or so I'm told. I'll make a few enquiries.
