In a gloomy Victorian village where arranged marriages are the norm, nervous groom-to-be Victor (Johnny Depp) accidentally proposes to the wrong bride—one who happens to be dead. Swept into the underworld by the ghostly and gorgeous Emily (Helena Bonham Carter), Victor finds himself torn between two worlds—one teeming with color, music, and life after death, and another gray and suffocating among the living.

With Danny Elfman’s whimsical score and Burton’s signature gothic romanticism, this modern classic remains one of the director’s most heartfelt creations. Don’t miss the chance to see Corpse Bride it on the big screen!

The Umbrellas of Cherbourg

Love rains with The Umbrellas of Cherbourg, the 1964 musical romance from Jacques Demy! Now in a brand new 4K restoration! 

This simple romantic tragedy begins in 1957. Guy Foucher, a 20-year-old French auto mechanic, has fallen in love with 17-year-old Geneviève Emery, an employee in her widowed mother’s chic but financially embattled umbrella shop. On the evening before Guy is to leave for a two-year tour of combat in Algeria, he and Geneviève make love. She becomes pregnant and must choose between waiting for Guy’s return or accepting an offer of marriage from a wealthy diamond merchant.

Winning the Palme d’Or at the 1964 Cannes Film Festival, The Umbrellas of Cherbourg is celebrated by many as one of the best musicals of all time.

Pig

Our Lost Films Of Covid series kicks off with Pig, one of those rare films that still found light in a time of theaters going dark.

Michael Sarnoski’s elegy of grief and grace follows a reclusive truffle hunter (Nicolas Cage, in one of his most effecting performances) as he searches for his stolen pig. The tagline is simple, but the story is so much more than revenge and spectacle. Returning to the big screen, it reminds us how cinema helps us feel human again. 

Whether you’ve seen it since its release or have been waiting to watch it, come see Pig where it belongs–up on the big screen!

Mortal Kombat: Presented By Post Games

Our friends at Post Games are joining us to present a screening of Paul W.S. Anderson’s action-packed Mortal Kombat, now celebrating 30 years since its initial release! Make sure you arrive early for a Mortal Kombat-style preshow featuring footage and commercials that throwback to that gleefully chaotic time in 1990s video game adaption cinema. And the merchandising…oh the merchandising….

For nine generations an evil sorcerer has been victorious in hand-to-hand battle against his mortal enemies. If he wins a tenth Mortal Kombat tournament, desolation and evil will reign over the multiverse forever. To save Earth, three warriors must overcome seemingly insurmountable odds, their own inner demons, and superhuman foes.

Forged from pixels and pulp, Mortal Kombat channels the mythic fervor of kung-fu epics into a realm that hadn’t been seen prior on the big screen. The iconic techno anthem is worth the price of admission alone! Don’t miss your chance to see this bad boy on the big screen!

Post Games is a video game podcast about how and why we love video games. Each week, host Chris Plante and a guest expert answer a big question. Ever wondered why NSFW games are all over Steam? Or if an RPG could make you less afraid of death? And what sort of person falls in love with a video game character? Listen for free on your favorite podcast app!

Red Rocket

A few years before winning multiple Oscars, filmmaker Sean Baker, like everyone else, was battling with releasing a film around the time of Covid. Our Lost Films Of Covid series is bringing back his 2021 wild ride through the backroads of Texas, Red Rocket, to the big screen.

Simon Rex stars as a washed-up adult film actor returning to his Texas hometown with big talk, no plan, and a knack for burning every bridge he crosses. Just as tensions begin to ease, he becomes infatuated with a young doughnut shop worker named Strawberry.

Shot on 16mm with Baker’s signature energy and empathy, Red Rocket captures the beauty and absurdity of people chasing something—anything—to keep going. Five years later, it plays like a snapshot of a country still struggling to sell The American Dream.
