Out of the Past

This week's movie will be a classic film noir, made 3 decades before the neo-noir film (Chinatown) we watched earlier this summer.

Out of the Past (1947) -- directed by Jacques Tourneur, starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer, and Kirk Douglas.

Showing at Matt and Yuriko's this Friday, September 2nd.

If you want to bring your dog and let him/her run around our new fenced-in yard with Kima, please do!

If you want to bring a human guest (lovers, small children, etc.), that is also fine.

Stop by anytime after 7pm -- movie starts at 7:30.

Summer May Be Ending, But Movie Night Is Not

Finally, we are going to be home on a Friday night in August!

Earlier this summer, Yuriko and I went to see the new Star Trek movie (twice!), which was good, but not great. Of course, this led to several discussions of what made the previous movie (Star Trek: Into Darkness, 2013) so amazing. We decided it might be time to revisit it.

Warning--I sobbed uncontrollably in the theater when I saw this movie for the second time in the theater. I realize how strange that is for this kind of movie, and I can't predict what will happen this time--but please try not to be disturbed by any inexplicable emotional eruptions on my part. I just love a good bromance. This one is somewhere between Y Tu Mama Tambien and Superbad.

Directed by JJ Abrams, starring Chris Pine, Zachary Quinto, and Benedict Cumberbatch. Here's the trailer:

Stop by anytime after 7pm this Friday (August 26th), and we'll start the movie at 7:30pm.

Hope to see you!
