Part of our IN THE BEGINNING, THERE WERE THE COENS series. Saturday,
September 14, 2019 @ 11:59p, The VISTA: MILLER’S CROSSING (1990,
Fox, dir by Joel and Ethan Coen, 35mm) The Coen BROTHERS’ went full
Dashiell Hammet on their third film, the Irish gangster epic
MILLER’s CROSSING. Told from the point of view of Tom Regan, a
consigliere to Albert Finney’s Irish mob boss, Leo, we see how Tom
navigates a full scale gang war by playing both sides off the other
and keeping all sides wondering where Tom’s loyalties really lie.
For the first time in a Coen BROTHERS’ movie, we sense a deeper,
more anguished wrestling with issues of moral and ethical
responsibility and loyal that would come to define much of their great
work. We are now also joined by Coen regulars John Turturro, Steve
Buscemi, and Jon Polito who will go on to make countless movie with
the Coen across the next two decades. We see the ensemble forming.
We see the Coens becoming more and more sure of their voice. And we
see the Coens again turn in a tour de force central sequence (which
would become a kind of hallmark of much of their work-just look at the
great midpoint Josh Brolin and Javier Bardem hotel chase sequence in
No Country For Old Men) with the murder plot on Leo’s life all
scored to “Danny Boy”. The dialogue sparkles, the movie crackles,
the cinema whizzes and bangs like a box of firecrackers. The Coens
proved with MILLER’s CROSSING THAT THERE WAS NO GENRE THEY
COULDN’t take on. And no matter how many punches they might take,
they were to stay. They were just that good. They still are. Come join
us for one of the great gangster movies of the last 30 years. Best
always, Craig Hammill 35mm Secret Movie Club Programmer.Organizer
SECRET MOVIE CLUB FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: TICKETS: Tickets for
all our events are available online
at https://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com
[https://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com] or through each individual
event on our Facebook Page:
https://www.facebook.com/secretmovieclub35mm/
[https://www.facebook.com/secretmovieclub35mm/]. Unless otherwise
noted, all our movies screen at The VISTA THEATER, 4473 Sunset Drive,
Los Angeles, CA 90027. We currently are showing 1-2 documentaries
with Director Q&A's afterwards a season at the Los FELIZ 3, 1822 North
Vermont Avenue, Los Angeles, CA 90027; about 8 blocks from the VISTA
THEATER IN LOS FELIZ. We also make tickets available at the VISTA
BOX OFFICE. REFUNDS: We will honor all refund requests as long as they
are made 24 hours or more before the listed start time of the
screening. After that, no refunds. Sorry. HOW DOES A SECRET MOVIE
CLUB 2019 SINGLE SEASON or MULTI-SEASON ALL-ACCESS PASS WORK: If you
buy an SEASON or MULTI-SEASON ALL-ACCESS PASS (access to all movies
we’re showing within one season or multi-seasons as listed on the
pass), you get entrance into every single movie we show throughout
that time (including any special events we may announce at a later
time; so your value may increase!). We offer SPRING and SUMMER 2019
SEASON PASSES individually (for example, if you know you will be able
to attend in Spring but not Summer; a great deal at $6 a ticket) and a
MULTI-SEASON PASS (all 83 events in both Spring & Summer 2019, our
best deal at $4.50 per ticket). These passes are available through the
following EVENTBRITE LINK: https://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com
[https://secretmovieclub.eventbrite.com] If you decide to buy the
SEASON or MULTI-SEASON ALL-ACCESS PASS and have already bought a
series pass or individual ticket, just write us:
secretmovieclub@curiousproductions.com and we’ll issue you a refund
for the individual tickets you bought so you can get the all-access
pass. Each pass is available for purchase online until the start of
the first event of the season that would be covered by that pass.
With the ALL-ACCESS PASS, we generate a special list with your name on
it. All you have to do is come to our table ahead of each movie, give
us your name, and get your ticket. HOW DOES A SERIES PASS WORK: If you
buy an Individual Series Pass, you gain entrance to all movies in that
series. This is our next best deal at $9 a ticket after an All-Access
pass at $4.50 or $6.00 a ticket. If you want to see all the movies in
a particular series but not necessarily all the movies in a season
this is the way to go. The price of each Series Pass depends on how
many movies we show in that series. So for instance if we are showing
7 movies in the series, the pass would cost $63 (or $9 per movie). If
we are showing 4 movies in that series, the pass would cost $36, and
so on. You can buy the Series Pass through any individual Eventbrite
link for a movie in that series. Then, we generate a special list with
your name on it. All you have to do is come to our table ahead of each
movie, give us your name, and get your ticket. MOVIEPASS AND OTHER
PASSES LIKE IT (as of February 2019): While we do accept and want you
to use your special passes, we advise all moviegoers to first check
the current rules and regulations of their pass to make sure their
pass is accepted for our events. Secret Movie Club and the VISTA
THEATER ARE NOT ASSOCIATED WITH NOR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY CHANGES IN
POLICY ON THE PART OF ANY OUTSIDE VENDOR OFFERING A PASS TO LOS
ANGELES SCREENINGS OR ANY SIMILAR SERVICE. CONCESSIONS: The VISTA
CONCESSIONS STAND IS OPEN FOR ALL OUR EVENTS. So you will always have
access to popcorn, soda, candy, coffee the works! PARKING: The VISTA
HAS NO DEDICATED PARKING LOT. Thankfully, there is parking in the
residential areas around the VISTA THEATER. Just plan to get to the
theater 20 minutes earlier than normal so you have enough time to
park, walk to the theater, get your tickets, get in line. Make sure
you read the street signs! Hillhurst and Sunset Drive tend to be the
best for street parking. Avoid Rosalia and Commonwealth as they have
permit-only parking rules. We don’t want any Secret Movie Clubbers
getting parking tickets. SHOWTIMES: We screen our movies before or
after the VISTA’s official movies. This is why most of our showtimes
are either at 11:59pm or between 10am-11am in the morning. Always
check the listed showtime before buying your ticket as we do sometimes
have to adjust the showtime to accommodate the running time of the
movie. MAILING LIST: We started as a secret email list way back in
April of 2016. In respect to our origins, we will always announce our
upcoming seasons, special events, and speakers with the ability to get
tickets via the email list first before posting to Facebook or
anywhere else. If you’d like to get on the secret email list, email
us at: secretmovieclub@curiousproductions.com. OTHER QUESTIONS: You
can always email us at: secretmovieclub@curiousproductions.com . We
work to respond asap within receipt of your email. If you don't get a
response within 48 hours, please email us again.
