Kenny's Korner

Each Thursday for the past decade, I have put out a commentary on the week's films, Vine happenings and fun information in the form of Kenny's Korner.  This has been in our weekly email newsletter.  Please sign up for this newsletter to get my commentary, and the best information about the Vine.  Below is this week's Kenny Korner - enjoy!

 

Hello all,

Today we open STAR WARS: THE MANDALORIAN and GROGU!  Please watch the trailer for this film, as it looks fantastic, and you do not need to have watched the television show to enjoy this amazing adventure!  Fans of the original Star Wars movies should love this movie!

Synopsis:  The film "Star Wars: The Mandalorian and Grogu" follows the adventures of the Mandalorian bounty hunter Din Djarin and his apprentice Grogu as they embark on a mission to rescue Rotta the Hutt in exchange for information on a target. The story unfolds in a galaxy where the remnants of the Empire are scattered, and the New Republic is working to protect the galaxy's future. The film is directed by Jon Favreau and features a cast that includes Pedro Pascal, Sigourney Weaver, and Jeremy Allen White.

We are excited to offer an amazing STAR WARS PHOTO BACK DROP, and two awesome drink specials – The Mango-Lorian, and the Dole-Gu!  

We are excited to be opening PRESSURE on Thursday, May 28th, one week from today.  However, the studio is allowing an “early access screening” on Monday, Memorial Day at 2pm!  So, come one down to watch this powerful film, based on a true story, several days before it opens!

Starring Brendan Fraser, Andrew Scott, Kerry Condon and Damian Lewis, PRESSURE is set during the tense 72 hours before D-Day, and with the fate of the free world hanging in the balance. It follows General Dwight D. Eisenhower and Captain James Stagg as they face an impossible choice--launch the largest and most dangerous seaborne invasion in history or risk losing the war altogether.

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is a huge hit at the Vine, but all good things come to an end!  Most likely this will be the final week for the film, so come down to see it before its gone!

THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 synopsis:  Set 20 years later, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 follows a retiring Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep) facing the decline of print media. She must navigate a digital-first industry while facing off against her former assistant, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt), now a high-powered luxury executive controlling vital advertising dollars. 

Our second quarter promotion for our 70th anniversary is here - FREE POPCORN MONDAYS!!!  That is right, watch any movie on a Monday before  June 29th and get a FREE bag of popcorn!

Also, our 70th anniversary t-shirts are a hit!  They are on sale in all sizes from small to 3XL at the Vine Box Office!

We have added a special one-year anniversary screening of K-POP DEMON HUNTERS – SING ALONG!  This special family event takes place at 6:30 on Monday, June 15th!  Tickets are on sale now!

We have also added two family classics to the June Classics Night schedule!  E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial plays on Wednesday, June 10th, and THE GOONIES plays on Thursday, June 25th.  Both movies are at 7pm.

Our summer kid’s movies series is back again this year!  Starting on Tuesday, June 2nd through August 11th we will be offering FREE Family movies every Tuesday at 10am.  Admission is free with any concession purchase, and no tickets or reservations are required.  The schedule is now out, and it is shown below.  We have a great mix of newer 2024 - 2025 films like Bad Guys 2, Gabby’s Dollhouse, The Smurfs, Transformers One and The Wild Robot.  We also have some older classics that are a treat to see again on the big screen like The Iron Giant, the original Trolls and The Lego Batman movie.  Doors open at 9:15am for these events, and they are usually very busy, so come early!

We hope that you will continue to spread the word that the Vine Cinema & Alehouse is the valley’s only movie theatre showing independent films and classics, while serving beer, wine and food.
