So tell us if this happened to you:
The first annual NATIONAL CINEMA DAY gets announced—“a one-day celebration of moviegoing featuring exclusive previews and a special 3 dollar admission”—and you immediately check local showtimes to see what’s playing.
Your heart sinks.
You either saw everything you wanted to see, or nothing new catches your eye.
“Where’s the North Park Theatre?”, you ask. “They usually have good films. Why can’t I go THERE for dirt cheap?”
Well, look. We’re here now. Kicking and screaming. We listened to you, and we caved.
We have one of the BEST films of the year—THE GOOD BOSS, starring Javier Bardem—we are the ONLY theater in Buffalo showing it, and we are letting you see it this Saturday at 2:00pm and 4:30pm for virtually nothing.
HAPPY?!
(And yes, you’ll be able to see the WAKANDA FOREVER and A24 sizzle reel here, too…!)
After the show, please consider supporting local filmmaking by staying for Buffalo’s own CHICKEN STRIPS, screening Saturday at 7:00pm and 9:15pm! CHICKEN STRIPS will be priced normally, but it’s another one you won’t be able to see anywhere else.
Our two $3 showtimes:
2:00pm – THE GOOD BOSS – Saturday, September 3rd
4:30pm – THE GOOD BOSS – Saturday, September 3rd
About THE GOOD BOSS:
Academy Award Winner Javier Bardem stars as Blanco, proprietor of Básculas Blanco, a Spanish company producing industrial scales in a provincial Spanish town, which awaits the imminent visit from a committee that will decide if they merit a local Business Excellence award: everything has to be perfect when the time comes. Working against the clock, Blanco pulls out all the stops to address and resolve issues with his employees, crossing every imaginable line in the process.
“The Good Boss is designed to be an acting tour de force for Bardem, and it’s certainly that… It’s a memorably dominating performance.” – The Arts Desk
“It’s Javier Bardem’s show as he reuniteswith Fernando Leon de Aranoa
for this parable of power.” –Screen International
“Reminiscent of the Coen brothers’ trademark cinematic sarcasm…
slickly entertaining.” –The Hollywood Reporter
