Picnic1955 / PG / 115 minutes
Part of our Cine Brunch film series. An award-winning film adaptation of the William Inge play. Hal Carter is an arrogant drifter who sets off dramatic fireworks when he visits a quiet Kansas town to see an old friend. Before long he has managed to steal Madge Owens, the most attractive girl in town, away from his pal.
Much of the drama takes place in the midst of the town's annual Labor Day
picnic. Among the many other memorable characters in the film are a spinster
school teacher who desperately longs for the security of marriage, and Madge's
jealous younger sister, Millie.
Advanced ticket purchase is required for brunch.

City of the Living Dead aka The Gates of Hell1980 / R / 93 minutes
Presented with Horror
Realm Convention (September 17 - 19, 2010).
All seats just $5.00!
After
Father William Thomas (Fabrizio Jovine) hangs himself in a cemetery, the
gates of Hell are opened. Zombies with the abilities of super strength, teleportation
and levitation appear and start killing off people in a remote town. Psychic
Mary Woodhouse (Catriona MacColl) dies of what appears to be fright at a
seance, and is buried - only to revive, buried alive, in her own coffin.
Investigating reporter Peter Bell (Christopher George), who is intrigued
by the case, is present at the grave-site and rescues her - only to learn
it is all fated as part of a prophecy in the Book of Enoch. The death of
the priest is only the beginning, and they both must travel to the rural
town of Dunwich, New England, and close the portal to Hell before All Saints
Day, or the spirits of the dead will overtake the earth.
Directed by Lucio Fulci.
Advanced tickets available here.

Gone with the Pope2010 (reissue) / NR / 83 minutes
Grindhouse Releasing is proud to announce that Duke Mitchell's long-lost 1970s crime saga GONE WITH THE POPE will be shown on screens across the country following the film's successful world premiere in Hollywood.
A renowned nightclub entertainer, singer and movie actor known as "Mr. Palm Springs," Mitchell directs and stars in GONE WITH THE POPE as an ex-con who hatches a plan to kidnap the Pope in exchange for the ransom of "a dollar from every Catholic in the world." The movie has been described as "the holy grail for lovers of B-movies" and "a true gem from the American underground."
GONE WITH THE POPE was shot in 1975 but remained unfinished at the time of Duke Mitchell's death in 1981. The film reels sat in his son's garage until Grindhouse Releasing owners Sage Stallone and Bob Murawski offered to take a shot at piecing the movie together. Murawski took charge of the restoration and spent 15 years giving Mitchell's low-budget movie an A-list treatment in between editing Sam Raimi's SPIDER MAN 1, 2 & 3, DRAG ME TO HELL, and THE HURT LOCKER.
Starring: Bill Boyd, John Bruno, Carl Cocomo
Director: Duke Mitchell
