    “George Miller, the world builder of ‘Road Runner: Fury Road’, is back with another truly cinematic journey in ‘Three Thousand Years of Longing.’  Idris Elba and Tilda Swinton create quite the striking pairing  in this romantic fantasy fairytale for adults, and offers a new perspective on the genie in the bottle motif. And from fantasy to the real world exploits of Maurice Paul Krafft and Catherine Joséphine “Katia” Krafft, presents another unusual love story in the documentary, ‘Fire of Love’. The Alsacian French volcanologists were inseparable the moment they discovered that they shared an obsession with fiery earth. The pair captured some of the most stunning imagery of volcanoes and lava before they ultimately met their end in a 1991 pyroclastic flow on Japan’s Mt. Unzen.  Narrated by Miranda July, ‘Fire of Love’ is the highest grossing documentary of the year and is fresh indeed with its 99% Tomatoes rating.  Don’t miss the other half of the Elba double bill with ‘Beast’, and the powerful documentary ‘The Territory,’ which provides an immersive on-the-ground look at the tireless fight of the Indigenous Uru-eu-wau-wau people against the encroaching deforestation brought by farmers and illegal settlers in the Brazilian Amazon. All these options made possible by the flexibility added by the addition of The Shoebox Theatre.  If you haven’t had a chance to check it out yet, this is the week! 225 Hall St.”

    The Pitch


    Five years ago, director Taika Waititi surprised audiences across the globe with his unexpectedly comedic portrayal of the god of thunder with Thor: Ragnarok. Now returning to the helm, Waititi aims to deliver a Thor adventure that is every bit as wacky and unpredictable as its predecessor, while remaining faithful to the comic book source material. Marvel-lovers will be ecstatic to see the Guardians of the Galaxy and Thor team up for the first time since the iconic Avengers: Infinity War. Thor: Love and Thunder is also the debut event for fan-favorite comic book legend, Gorr the God Butcher. With Christian Bale portraying the murderous, bloodthirsty villain, there is no doubt that Gorr will be every bit as menacing on the big screen as he is on the page. Perhaps the most shocking reveal from the trailers is the return of Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), now sporting Asgardian battle armor and confidently wielding a reforged Mjolnir. Foster’s appearance in the trailers have led fan’s to speculate that Love and Thunder will borrow heavily from The Mighty Thor by Jason Aaron, a beloved comic run which saw Jane Foster gaining godly abilities and taking on the mantle of Thor. Under the creative control of a gifted director, saturated with impressive acting talent and brimming with incredible comic-to-movie adaptations of ultra-popular characters, there is something for everyone to look forward to in Thor: Love and Thunder.
