What’s happening at The Picture House

Like the rest of our national holidays, Labor Day gives us a much-appreciated Monday off. It might be our most important reprieve from work, given that Labor Day honors the American worker, especially those who fought for the eight-hour work day and the creation of the weekend. So what better way to spend this hard-won [...]

Pig is probably not the movie you’re expecting it to be. A Nicolas Cage vehicle in which he plays a man out for revenge after his beloved pig is kidnapped seems like it’s going to be something we’ve seen before — a Taken (in which Liam Neeson’s daughter is abducted) or a John Wick (in [...]

The Picture House turns 100 this year. And what a year (and more) it has been! Thanks to generous members and donors and several loans and grants, we have made it through the longest closure in our theater’s history. We are proud to welcome you safely back to the theater as we take all we [...]

Take a slow, deep breath. In through the nose, out through the mouth. Even close your eyes while you do it. The rest of this post will be here waiting when you’re done.  Are you feeling more relaxed?  Sunday, August 15 is National Relaxation Day, and, even if it hasn’t been the summer some of [...]

The Green Knight was one of spring 2020’s most anticipated films, scheduled to premiere at South by Southwest in mid-March followed by a May release. No need to tell you what happened next.  Director David Lowery used part of his time during the pandemic to recut The Green Knight, to step away from what he [...]

Last Tuesday, The Picture House hosted an Olympic viewing party to watch Pelhamite Kate Douglass compete in the 200-meter individual medley. Kate’s race was at 10:45 pm, it was pretty late for a week night and we just weren’t sure anyone would come… At 9:00 pm, our theater started filling up with folks from all [...]

Disney’s newest thrill ride come to life is Jungle Cruise, an action-adventure film that sees Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson take a ride into the heart of the Amazon in search of a tree whose healing properties could revolutionize medicine. To find the tree they must face the dangers of the jungle and come up [...]

One of the most anticipated cinephile events of the year returned in full force this summer, after having to cancel in 2020. Cannes is back and having had to wait an additional year for this slate of films, we’re even more eager than usual to hear the buzz about (and of course eventually see) the [...]

On Thursday, we opened Black Widow on the big screen in the Main Hall to our largest audience since reopening in March. Marvel’s much buzzed-about blockbuster, with an all-star cast including Scarlett Johansson, Florence Pugh, Rachel Weisz, David Harbour, and others, was undoubtedly the main attraction, but seeing so many more faces in our theater [...]

Long holiday weekends like the Fourth of July are perfect for lazy days spent catching up with friends and family and nights that are made for movies. Whether you’re beating the heat in the cool, new air conditioning at The Picture House, streaming a family favorite at home, or maybe even setting up a make-shift [...]
