LIGHTYEAR buzz and other summer treats

TOY STORY's beloved Space Ranger, Buzz Lightyear, gets an origin story in Pixar's LIGHTYEAR, opening tomorrow. By all accounts, the animation is gorgeous, but it's more than just a pretty face. "Lightyear has things to say about and connection, self-reliance and absolution—and that just scratches its supernaturally shiny surface," according to the Observer. It's surefire entertainment for kids and good TOY STORY nostalgia for everybody.

The dinosaurs haven't departed our world yet as JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION continues this week. It knocked Tom Cruise out of first place in last week's box office rankings last week. Still, TOP GUN: MAVERICK has already become Cruise's all-time biggest earner. We have it for another week too.

The Panorama Film Festival is tonight at 7. And Cinema Salem has some special summer programming in store starting next week. Keep scrolling to find out what's coming.

Showing Friday through Monday, June 17–20

LIGHTYEAR

"With some clever nods to some classic space sagas, MacLane and co-writer Jason Headley have delivered a love letter to the genre all the while bringing that unmistakable fuzzy feeling we’ve come to expect from Pixar’s ever expanding stable."
The Jewish Chronicle


"This is a funny spinoff with suspense and heart, a captivatingly spirited toon take on splashy live-action retro popcorn entertainment."
Hollywood Reporter

Panorama Film Festival 2022 - A Revolutionary Exis

A new short film festival giving a platform to LGBTQIA+ youth filmmakers. Selecting from 154 submissions totaling over 30 hours of footage, the festival will feature two hours of short films from all over the globe, including submissions from queer and trans youth, allies and members of the community under 30. This project is produced in collaboration with Mutant Kid Productions and Queer Videography.
Want to avoid a crowded theater?
Many of us remain concerned about Covid, and we frequently are asked when theaters are least crowded. The one-word answer: Mondays. As a general rule, attendance is light for both matinees and evening screenings.

You may also find acceptably sparse attendance at other times. Feel free to look. If you discover more people than you're comfortable with, we will cheerfully refund your ticket price or give you a pass to use another day.

Starting next week: Summer Rewind

Travel back to the 90s on Thursday nights this summer. Starting next week, June 23, the Summer Rewind series will present favorites of the decade. (You say you last saw them on VHS?) Tickets will be on sale soon, so watch for that update. Meanwhile, here's what you can expect on the Summer Rewind marquee.

Saturday night, June 25, 10 pm

Theater Four conversion: We passed our first inspection!

Several more inspections to go, but the first one is behind us. See those wires hanging out of the sheetrock? They will go to speakers on that side of the theater. One of the city's electrical inspectors took a look at them and some other things earlier this week and pronounced them good. So another hurdle has been cleared, and we keep plugging along.
