Weekly

I'm back from the holiday. How are you doing? Hope all is well. This week is a bit of the calm before the Odyssey storm. It's a time to watch a good classic playing in town. Jaws is at the Moreland. 2001 is at the Hollywood. Or you can see E.T. playing at the newly added 99W Drive In! It's the only Drive-in around. I first saw E.T. at a drive-in when it came out. I was in a neck brace for some reason. I was a bit of an accident prone child. It got a little soaked by tears. Damn that heart light!

Well the hits keep on coming and I don't mean the ones to various balls in Jackass: Best and Last! Supergirl is here to continue the new James Gunn DC Universe. If the last Superman is any indication, it should be a fun ride. Plus Krypto is back!

Well it's definitely summer! So far we've had a Star War, a Spielberg, and now a Pixar. Soon will be a super hero, and an epic (or should I say EPIC). But there are a lot of good throwbacks to see as well. Barry Lyndon (Kubrick), Paris is Burning, Dog Day Afternoon, Boogie Nights, and Boyz N The Hood. So get out there and enjoy our cinema summer!

Disclosure Day is here! Steven Spielberg loves aliens. He's been fixated on them since childhood. From an early student film to Close Encounters, ET, War of the Worlds, and Lincoln, aliens feature prominently in his filmography. Okay not Lincoln, though there's an argument to be made about what planet Daniel Day Lewis is from. I'm excited to see it. UFOs make for great cinematography, especially when Spielberg is at the helm.

Welcome to the first PDXMT newsletter. I'm still working out the kinks and fine-tuning, but I thought I should get this to you. Lot's of good stuff out there this week! Project Hail Mary is back, it's a good time if you haven't seen it yet. The Muppet Movie? c'mon! And of course the 30th Anniversary of Trainspotting. Take the kids! I mean to the Muppet Movie.

A deep repertory week, from Cassavetes and Bogart to a Mad Max double bill and a midnight Rocky Horror.
