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 on Wednesday, July 1st as we show THE FIRST USA Knockout World Cup match!  It plays live on Wednesday at 5pm, and doors open at 4pm, and admission is FREE!  See the game on our giant screen in HD!

Join us TONIGHT, June 25th for a summer classic that we try to show every year – THE GOONIES!  This amazing family adventure film stars Sean Astin, Corey Feldman, Josh Brolin and Academy Award winner Ke Huy Quan.  Tickets are selling well for this one, so I would recommend getting the tickets in advance! 

We have added two other classics nights to our July schedule – JAWS on Wednesday, July 8th, and INDIANA JONES and the RAIDERS of the LOST ARK on Thursday, July 23rd.  Tickets are now on sale for both of these summer classics!

TOY STORY 5 opened last weekend to a mammoth 160 million dollar domestic gross!   That makes it the third highest grossing animated film for its opening weekend!  Plus, the film is excellent, so I expect this film to do very well in the coming weeks.  Did you know that the original Toy Story was released in 1995?  We are seeing three generations of families watching this film together, which is so wonderful!  

TOY STORY 5 synopsis:  Woody, Buzz, Jessie, and the rest of the toys face their biggest challenge yet when they come up against the thing that has captured the attention of today's kids: electronics.  When Bonnie becomes fascinated by a smart tablet named Lilypad, the toys must prove that traditional play and imagination still matter in a world increasingly dominated by technology.

Perhaps the two biggest films of the summer, and possibly of the year both open in July!  Christopher Nolan’s THE ODYSSEY opens on July 16th, and SPIDER-MAN BRAND NEW DAY opens July 30th!  Tickets are now on sale for both of these amazing films! 

DISCLOSURE DAY continues into it’s third week at the Vine.  Reviews are very positive from our patrons, which matches the strong reviews on RottenTomatoes.  Starring Emily Blunt, Josh O'Connor and Colin Firth, DISCLOSURE DAY is an ORIGINAL story and concept which I hope will get people excited because the industry needs more original films!

DISCLOSURE DAY synopsis: If you found out we weren't alone, if someone showed you, proved it to you, would that frighten you? This summer, the truth belongs to seven billion people. We are coming close to... Disclosure Day.  

Our summer kid’s movies series is back again this year!  Now 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.  Doors open at 9:15am for these events, and they are usually very busy, so come early!  

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 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.
