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,

Join us TODAY for THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2!  This film opens almost exactly 20 years after the first one, and brings back most of the iconic cast - Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, Kenneth Branagh and Stanley Tucci.  The reviews just dropped today and they are very strong.  The Vine is the best place to see this fun film as we offer the best combination of food, wine and fun!

We are excited and ready to host many girls’ nights out, as we have several new fantastic specialty drinks for this film!  We have a “Runway Frośe” and “The Miranda” a decadent chocolate martini!  Ticket sales are very strong for this film, especially on Friday evening, so I do recommend getting your tickets in advance if possible.

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.

MICHAEL is a global phenomenon!  The producers of Bohemian Rhapsody and the director or Training Day present the story of how Michael Jackson became the King of Pop.

In this biopic and drama, Michael Jackson is played by Jaffar Jackson, the real-life nephew of Michael Jackson, as he is Jermaine Jackson’s son.  He has received outstand reviews for his portrayal of his uncle, as the movie has also received outstanding patrons reviews.

MICHAEL Synopsis:  MICHAEL is the cinematic portrayal of the life and legacy of one of the most influential artists the world has ever known. The film tells the story of Michael Jackson’s life beyond the music, tracing his journey from the discovery of his extraordinary talent as the lead of the Jackson Five, to the visionary artist whose creative ambition fueled a relentless pursuit to become the biggest entertainer in the world. Highlighting both his life off-stage and some of the most iconic performances from his early solo career, the film gives audiences a front-row seat to Michael Jackson as never before. This is where his story begins.

We have added a classic to the schedule that we have NEVER played before on a classic’s night – BONNIE and CLYDE.  Starring Academy Award winners Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway this film was nominated for a whopping TEN Oscars in 1968, winning two.  Join us Thursday, May 14th at 7pm for BONNIE and CLYDE.

Synopsis:  "Bonnie and Clyde" tells the true story of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow, two young lovers who embark on a violent crime spree during the Great Depression, becoming infamous outlaws in American history.

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 will be released next week in this newsletter and on the website – we have some great family films this year!

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.
