New Run Of Midnights for the Summer!

The new run of Midnights has hit the street and it's going to be a great Summer. Come Downtown on the hot Sweaty nights for the best in Contemporary Classics, Horror and Cult! We Got Tim Burton's Beetlejuice starting out the run on May 18Th & 19Th. Beetlejuice is one of our Favorites here at the Shine! Don't be surprised if the whole house starts dancing to "Jump in Line" at the end of the film. Then we have a Double Midnight the last weekend of May with 3 nights on Raiders of the Lost Ark. This film sells out so get your tickets in advance! And in Memory of the late Levon Helms the Sunshine is playing the Last Waltz. Directed by Scorsese this is the last time the Band played on stage together and is a film that shows how great American Music can be. So come down and pay last respects to Levon Rock & Roll's favorite singing drummer with us 3 nights May 25Th- 27Th. Then get ready to be on the edge of your seat with Wes Craven's first thriller The Last House on the Left. This is a horror film for the ages with all the things we lo from 70's bloodbaths.. sex, escape criminals and lots of death! The week after this shocking display is a funny movie from a funny man, Ben Stiller's Zoolander. The Sunshine has some Special Guest for this one so be ready to laugh you ass off! Then Horror takes over the midnights for two weeks starting with the 1968 film Rosemary's Baby, written and directed by Roman Polanski. Then another one of Was Craven's best the original Freddy fright Fest, A Nightmare on Elm Street! You will not want to sleep for weeks. That all good we got more Midnights to keep you from your bed. The Marx Brothers 1933 comedy classic Duck Soup was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the US Library of Congress, so its got to be a masterpiece of sight gags and funny falls. It is also the last of the Marx films with Zeppo. So come into the cinema and laugh off the June humidity in our cool theater. Then if you think the Marx Brothers where funny get a load of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan on the big screen! Yes Khan was Kirks best bad guy. Look for these Quotes: "Listen, kiddo, Jim Kirk was many things, but he was never a Boy Scout," "You proceed from a false assumption. I am a Vulcan. I have no ego to bruise," "Ah, Kirk, my old friend. Do you know the Klingon proverb that tells us revenge is a dish that is best served cold? ... It is very cold in space," "KHAAANNNN!!" Yes find out what happened to Kirk before he was a Simpson joke, T.V. Commercial and Broadway show in this Star Trek when the past comes back! Oh and don't forget the worst movie ever made The Room! have you fun with Lisa the first Saturday of ever month! Just remember to bring PLASTIC Spoons!
