Re-Releases Coming Soon: LAWRENCE, STAR TREK, THE MATRIX

September 3, 2019

New Movies Suck

I think we all can agree on that. With the exception of four or five movies a year, there are almost no new releases that demand to be seen in the theater. With the upcoming Death Of Marvel, there will be even fewer movies we want to see on the big screen.

However, a number of major theater chains have begun regular showing classic movies to get us disillusioned fans back in the seats.

This column is our attempt to get you out from behind your personal screens and get you back in the theater!

Every week we will give you a rundown of the re-releases that are going to be playing in the major US theaters over the next two weeks.

But don’t count on us to get this right every week, check your own theater.

If you have a specialty theater or a dine-in theater like an Alamo Drafthouse near you, check that shit every week, because they will be showing something cool all the time.

Fathom Events

This is the largest distributor of re-releases and live broadcast in-theater events.

Even though they work closely with most of the big-time chains in the United States not every chain will carry every event and not every theater will carry a chain’s Fathom schedule.

So do some leg work!

Lawrence Of Arabia

This digital print of Lawrence of Arabia is presented in 4K. Utilizing 8K scans of the 65mm original negative, the picture was painstakingly restored, removing the damage, deterioration and fading it had experienced over 50 years. Accompanied by remastered 5.1 audio, the film is presented in its original 2.20 aspect ratio, along with the original overture and intermission. Warning: This has a 4-hour run time.

You Are Here – A Come From Away Story is an intimate feature documentary that goes deep into the community of Gander, Newfoundland where 38 airliners carrying over 6,500 passengers were forced to land after the terrorist attacks on 9/11. The film pulls back the emotional layers surrounding the five days during which the community housed, fed and cared for the dislocated passengers.
