5 Points Theatre Media Update 2/4

February 4, 2010 Comments »

1.  Our midnight movie this week will be Back to the Future 2 (and 3, which I said last week).  Note that it starts at 11 pm (we often do that when the 9 pm movie is less than 2 hours long).  After that we’ve got:
 
February 12 – Heathers – 11 pm
February 19 – Housu – 11 pm
February 26 – Weird Science – 11 pm
 
2.  Me and Orson Welles and Nine start this Friday (Nine at 5 and 9 pm and Orson at 7 pm).  Both are fun movies that got overlooked at Christmas.  Broken Embraces (the new Almodavar film) starts February 12.  It looks like we’ll get The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus (the new film from Director Terry Gilliam, and Heath Ledger’s last film) starting on March 12.

3.  Join us for the Super Bowl!  Doors will open at 6 pm on Sunday, February 7th.  As always, football is free at the 5 Points Theatre.  We are also moving our scheduled movies to earlier in the day on Sunday.
 
4.  The theatre will be showing the Oscar-nominated live action and animated shorts.  Live action shorts will be shown on Tuesday, February 23rd at 7 pm.  Animated shorts will be Wednesday, February 24th at 7 pm.  This should be a fun look at some interesting films.  Many short film directors go on to bigger and better things in the future.
