I am confused. Everyone who is playing American Sniper is opening it on Thursday the 15th. In fact, AMC Palisades Mall has 3 shows on Thursday. I’m not seeing how this is a special sneak preview.

New York, New York. The city’s so nice they had to name it twice…
Friday April 25th at 8PM

Little Fugitive
An amazing tour of Coney Island in the 1950’s. It is the story of a little boy who runs away from home, to hide out at New York City’s playground, Coney Island. 35mm Film Presentation.
Saturday April 26th at 8pm
Speedy
Harold Lloyd’s classic comedy about a New York a small time Trolly operator trying to keep his business afloat against bigger competitors who will use any means to take over his routes. The highlight of the film is a mad rush though the crowded streets of Manhattan to get the real life Babe Ruth to the real life Yankee Stadium in time for a game. 35mm film presentation, organ accompaniment by Bernie Anderson.
And so goes the Boyd Theatre in Philadelphia. In 2005, Live Nation bought the theatre, and it has been boarded up ever since. According to news reports, they have started demolishing this art deco gem so they can sell the building to a company that plans to build a modern multiplex.
Paramount definitely has 35mm titles available, as ongoing screenings at The Landmark Loews Jersey, The Film Forum, and The Museum Of The Moving Image will attest.
Unfortunately, it is my understanding that this fall’s entire series at the Lafayette is going to presented on video. I guess this leaves The Landmark Loews Jersey as the last venue in the area west of the Hudson still running classic films in 35mm. Nelson and Pete will be missed.

San Francisco is the backdrop to this tale of police corruption and murder.
For me, the big question for the Lafayette’s classic film series, should the new management choose to continue it, is whether they will continue to book 35mm film prints, or just run “digital” video. I can watch “digital” video at home.
The theatre was located where the parking lot for the little strip mall on Lafayette avenue is now. There is a picture of this theatre on display in the hardware store on Lafayette avenue. I have never seen a photo online.

The coming 2 weekends will conclude this seasons classic films at The Landmark Loews Jersey.
For June 1st & 2nd
Friday June 1st at 8:00pm – The Producers (1968)
Starring Zero Mostel, Gene Wilder, Kenneth Mars, Estelle Winwood.
Directed by Mel Brooks. (90 minutes, Color).
Down-on-his luck Broadway producer Max Bialystock takes an offhand comment by his new accountant Leo Bloom and turns it into the ultimate ponzi scheme: the two will over sell shares in a new musical, make sure the show is a flop that closes on the first night, and keep all the money.
Saturday June 2nd at 6:30pm – My Man Godfrey (1936)
Starring William Powell, Carole Lombard, Alice Brady, Gail Patrick, Jean Dixon, Eugene Pallette.
Directed by Gregory La Cava. (95 minutes, B&W)
In the midst of the Great Depression, a spoiled daughter of a wealthy family wins a prize by bringing an unemployed man living at the town dump to a party. The girl falls in love with the man and impetuously hires him as her family’s butler. We soon find there’s more to the man than the girl or we suspect, and less to girl’s wealthy family.
Saturday June 2nd at 8:30pm – Bringing Up Baby (1938)
Starring Katharine Hepburn, Cary Grant, Charlie Ruggles, Barry Fitzgerald, May Robson.
Directed by Howard Hawks. (103 minutes, B&W)
One of the crowning comic achievements in the careers of director Howard Hawks and of stars Katharine Hepburn and Cary Grant, “Bringing Up Baby” is also the ultimate distillation of the screwball comedy. The story, such as it is, involves a nerdish paleontologist, an heiress determined to snag him, two leopards, a dinosaur bone and mistaken identity. A non-stop parade of inspired gags, incredibly smart and funny wordplay and the pointed if hysterical skewering of the archetypes that screwball comedy so deftly makes fun of: the idle rich, eggheads and officialdom.
For June 8th & 9th
Friday June 8th at 8:00pm – Mothra (1961)
The Toho Monster Classic, presented in Japanese with English Subtitles.
Saturday June 9th at 6:00pm – Willy Wonka & The Chocolate Factory (1971)

This coming April 27th & 28th features a weekend of nautical disasters certain to give you that sinking feeling…
Friday April 27th at 8:00pm – Lifeboat (1944)
Directed by Alfred Hitchcock. Starring Tallulah Bankhead, William Bendix, Walter Slezak, Hume Cronyn.
(100 minutes, B&W)
A tiny lifeboat adrift in the North Atlantic holds eight survivors of a Nazi torpedo attack, spanning various classes and walks of life. A day later, the castaways pick up another passenger, a survivor from the German U-boat. At first everyone assumes he is just a simple seaman, but it develops that he is in fact the U-boat’s captain, fluent in English and very intelligent – perhaps dangerously so.
Saturday April 28th at 6:00pm – A Night To Remember (1958)
Starring Kenneth More, Honor Blackman, David McCallum, Jill Dixon. Directed by Roy Ward Baker. (123 minutes, B&W)
It was 100 years ago this month that the HMS Titanic sank, and this film lays out the human side of the tragedy, offering an emotionally potent look at those who survived and the many who did not, while it also clearly depicts the reasons, technical and human, behind the shipwreck. Kenneth More heads a huge and stellar cast, with 200 speaking parts, as the Second Officer from whose point of view the story unfolds.
Saturday April 28th at 8:25pm – The Poseidon Adventure (1972)
Starring Gene Hackman, Ernest Borgnine, Red Buttons, Carol Lynley, Roddy McDowall, Stella Stevens, Shelly Winters, Jack Albertson, Pamela Sue Martin, Leslie Nielsen. Directed by Ronald Neame.
(117 minutes, Color)
After a massive tidal wave capsizes the Poseidon on her last voyage before being scrapped, the survivors divide into two groups: those who stubbornly remain where they are to await the help they are sure will come, and a handful who bravely follow impassioned Reverend Scott (Gene Hackman) in what he believes is their best chance for rescue by forging their way upward through the shattered, upside-down ship, toward what was the bottom of the hull but is now on the ocean’s surface.
At some point obtaining film prints will no longer be possible, and a DCI compliant projector and server will be required to continue showing movies. The management is aware of this, and will eventually make the upgrade as funding permits. Hopefully that will still be a few years away.
Carbons are no longer manufactured in the USA, and have not been for quite some time. India and China still use and manufacture them, and there are a few importers that bring them into the USA.
I am confused. Everyone who is playing American Sniper is opening it on Thursday the 15th. In fact, AMC Palisades Mall has 3 shows on Thursday. I’m not seeing how this is a special sneak preview.
