    3 Classic Films at Loew’s Jersey in Jersey City, Feb. 23 and Feb. 24, 2007

    Movies …
    By Popular Demand
    February 23 & 24 at the Loew’s Jersey Theatre
    54 Journal Square, Jersey City, NJ 07306

    Last season (2005-2006), the Landmark Loew’s Jersey invited each of its patrons to name the ONE movie they would die to see on our big screen. This month, we will present the 3 most popular responses that are available for booking:

    Back to the Future Friday, February 23 at 8PM
    Starring Michael J. Fox, Christopher Lloyd, Crispin Glover and Lea Thompson (1985, 118mins., Color, Universal, Rated PG) Asking the question, “What might happen if a teenager from the 1980s traveled back in time and saw his hometown and met his parents when they were teenagers in the 1950s?,” the surprise hit film cemented Michael J. Fox’s reputation as a major star, and successfully blended sci-fi, comedy adventure with just enough sentiment to make it a modern classic.

    Gone With The Wind Saturday, February 24 at 2PM
    Starring Vivien Leigh, Clark Gable, Leslie Howard, Olivia de Havilland, Hattie McDaniel (1939, 222mins., Color, Selznick/MGM, Rated G upon re-release) Based on Margaret Mitchell’s best-selling book, Gone With The Wind defined epic film and tells the story of a spoiled Southern girl’s impossible love for a married man, set against the sweeping backdrop of the American Civil War. The movie made Vivien Leigh a star, is arguably the most famous movie ever made, and remains one of the all-time highest grossing films. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture.

    Casablanca Saturday, February 24 at 8PM
    Starring Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman, Paul Henreid, Claude Rains, Conrad Veidt. Directed by Michael Cortiz (1942, 102mins, B&W, Warner Bros, Not rated, but suitable for all audiences.) Bogart plays a cynical expatriate American who, in the early years of WWII, has to confront his past in the person of Ingrid Bergman, deal with the frightening presence of Nazi Germany on the march, and contemplate the future, “his and the world’s” all from his nightclub in Vichy-controlled Casablanca. Considered by many to be, overall, the best American movie ever made, Casablanca is, at the very least, an outstanding example of effective storytelling on film seamlessly blending romance, suspense, humor and patriotic drama to create full bodied characters, gripping suspense, and a narrative that has become a part of popular culture, all in under two hours. Winner of the Academy Award for Best Picture.

    Fairbanks theater returns

    FAIRBANKS, AK — No longer having miscellaneous tenants, the Empress Theatre is returning as a home for the local Shakespeare Company’s Bard-a-thon.

    The Empress Theatre doesn’t look much like it did in 1927 anymore. But after 80 colorful years, the sturdy old building can still put on a show.

    After a long hiatus, the Empress — or at least a remodeled version of it — will emerge again next weekend, when Fairbanks Shakespeare Theatre hosts its annual Bard-a-thon, a week-long, round-the-clock reading of Shakespeare’s plays.

    For more, go to the Fairbank Daily News.
