Movies on a Big Screen Returns! With Zombies and Ed Helms!

Hello! We're finally back on track, and even though this is last minute, we're going to do a trial run THIS Friday!!!

First off, our new venue is at 600 4th St in West Sacramento. This is on the corner of 4th and F St in *West* Sacramento (NOT 4th and F in downtown Sacramento). This is just over the river, so very, very close to downtown. One way of getting there is to take the I Street Bridge over the river, make the first left after the bridge (3rd Street), go down a few blocks to F St, make a right, go one more block and you are there! It's the big gray building at the corner. If you overshoot the building just slightly, you'll see an entrance to the parking lot. Yes, there IS a large parking lot at this place!! Entry door is at the grassy park-like area by the parking lot. Keeping with our theme of not using front doors, this is kind of in the back of the building. It's the old ILWU labor union hall.

We're really in the first stage of readiness, and you'll see additional changes over the next month or two (changes for the better, that is).

OK, enough of that! What are we gonna show on this test run?

This Friday, November 2, we are going to repeat our Halloween Hangover which we did last year, particularly since folks loved the movie so much when we previously screened it. This will be at 7 PM. For this night only, admission is just 3 bucks (we're not sure how smoothly this one is going to go, so it's a bit discounted).

Graveyard Alive:

From Canada comes this enjoyable, low-budget black and white zombie film which is a cross between 1920's German Expressionism, soap operas and 1960's B-horror films with beautiful cinematography and shot in Techniscope (a process used by Dario Argento, George Romero, Sergio Leone and many others in the 1960's). A ridiculed homely nurse is bitten by a zombie and transforms into a flesh-eating sex-kitten in a short-short skirt. Now all the cute young doctors are after her and everything would be great, except... the hospital's body count starts to dramatically rise - something co-workers are bound to notice...

"A profound fondness for grade-Z horror pics powers Graveyard Alive, a take-no-prisoners genre parody rooted firmly in the playful tradition of Sam Raimi, George Romero and Canadian kitschmeister, Guy Maddin. Very cleverly made on a minuscule budget, terrific-looking Graveyard Alive should see a healthy life (and after-life?) as a cult and midnight movie." - Variety

"Graveyard Alive" will show with the short film "Zombie American" starring The Daily Show's Ed Helms! It's a hilarious "documentary" on the often over-looked issue of discrimination against zombies in America.

So please -- try to make it out - bring some friends! Check out the huge new space we're in! Have some cheap fun! And what's coming in the future? Some really fantastic stuff, including Late Night Movies on a Big Screen. More details on that to come very soon. If you're there this Friday, you'll get a sneak peak via the trailer reel. Probably no popcorn or anything this week, but that should resume next week. As always, seating is on folding chairs, so feel free to bring a pillow or cushion (or even your own chair). Digital projection on to a large screen.

We still have a lot of last minute work to do at the space this week, but I am going to try to get the full November line-up out in a day or two. We're just a tiny bit backlogged right now.
