A few days from now, you’ll likely be sitting at a table with family and friends, carving a turkey, and pouring gravy over potatoes. Instead of a more traditional list of Thanksgiving recommendations (you can read our Fall Films blog for some inspiration on that front), we started thinking about the real star of Thanksgiving: [...]
When Marshall Fine announced his retirement last year, we huddled up and talked about the direction we wanted to take with The Picture House Film Club. Marshall had a great run with many sold out seasons, so we knew we had some big shoes to fill. We went through a long list of critics we [...]
It’s November, and there’s a chill in the air. Finally, fall is really here. If you’re anything like us, you love watching movies year-round, but there’s something special about fall movies; the sights of the season — the foliage, the colors, the fashion — are especially cinematic. As the temperature drops, there’s a unique pleasure [...]
Spooky Season is here, and between the perfect staying-in-on-the-couch weather, and the many many incredible films that — spooky or not — celebrate the Halloween spirit, there are few times of year or holidays that are a better match for movie watching. The staff of The Picture House shares some of our film favorites that [...]

It’s Oktoberfest at The Picture House! This month, we’re taking a cinematic trip to Germany as we host our German Film Festival from October 15 through 17. The festival will highlight some of the most exciting films to come out of Germany in the past two years. We’ll say “Prost!” at the complimentary German beer [...]
Fall — my favorite time of the year. The cool crisp air, apple cider donuts, and new movie trailers! No matter the season, one of my all-time favorite things to do is watch previews. A movie trailer is a sales pitch like no other, and it gets me every time. The only comparison to the satisfaction [...]
