June 14-20: Echo in the Canyon, All is True & Music Mondays!

We sell advance tickets for all our shows! Just click on a showtime.

This Friday travel back to Los Angeles’ Laurel Canyon in the mid-60s to a pivotal music scene moment and the influential emergence of folk rock legends like The Mamas and the Papas, The Byrds and The Beach Boys. Guided by Jakob Dylan, Echo in the Canyon features musical performances and interviews with David Crosby, Norah Jones, Cat Power, Ringo Starr, Eric Clapton and more. Also opening Friday is the latest Shakespearean imagining from Kenneth Branagh, the delightful All is True, which features a stellar cast (including Branagh himself as Shakespeare, Judi Dench as his wife and Ian McKellen as a show-stopping patron of the arts). Don't miss heartwarming and hiliarious The Grizzlies, the story of a teacher who helps turn around the lives of some Nunavut teenagers when he introduces them to the game of lacrosse. On Monday, June 17, we kick off our weekly Music Mondays (& encore Saturdays) series with the one and only, A Hard Day's Night. If you've never seen this fantastic fab four film on the big screen, now is your chance. We will be presenting a 4K restoration. It's one of our all time favourites!

This past week we were surprised and delighted to learn we had been awarded a Heritage Property Conservation Award by the City of Hamilton Heritage Committee. What an honour!

Echo in The Canyon

"A richly evocative and entertainingly anecdotal overview of the 1960s Laurel Canyon music scene."- Variety

“Tightly framing the Los Angeles music scene with a focus on the mid-'60s emergence of folk rock in the city’s storied Laurel Canyon district, Echo in the Canyon deftly captures the diversity of influences that launched groundbreaking bands like The Byrds, The Mamas & the Papas and Buffalo Springfield to international acclaim.

The Room: 20th Anniversary!

14A

"To make a movie so bad it's good you need vision, drive, luck and obsessive vanity. Fortuitously Tommy Wiseau appears to possess all of these qualities, combined with a total lack of acting talent." - The Guardian

Celebrate 20 years of The Room!

“Tommy Wiseau’s The Room may be the first true successor to the Rocky Horror throne. Wiseau's Johnny is the noblest of boyfriends and most capable of lovers. But none of that satisfies his fiancée Lisa, a wicked Jezebel whose boredom with Johnny manifests in a brazen affair with his best friend.

All is True

"All Is True is just what you would want for a Shakespeare biopic directed by Kenneth Branagh - it's touching and impeccably well-acted, with great turns from the director and on-screen wife Judi Dench." - Daily Mirror (UK)

"When it comes to Shakespeare movies, you know you’re in good hands with Kenneth Branagh. In All Is True, the British actor and director does double duty in front of and behind the camera, speculating about the Bard’s bittersweet final years. This handsome film is wondefully acted and clearly made with no shortage of compassion and love.

The Souvenir

STC

"The Souvenir doesn't get under your skin. It clasps your hand tightly, and when it finally lets go, you will feel its absence." - Austin Chronicle

“Watching the films of Joanna Hogg, a late-blooming British master, is like watching a blank canvas become a work of art. Start with small details. Add in impressions and feelings. Build visual elements stroke by stroke, until near the end, the big picture emerges almost in real time, with full impact.

Meeting Gorbachev

"Gorbachev turns out to be one of the most fascinating political figures of our time. All thanks to Herzog's keen eye." - The Wrap

Werner Herzog and André Singer's riveting documentary, filled with unforgettable archive materials and based on three long interviews, provides incredible access to, arguably, the world's greatest living politician. Now 87 and battling illness, the visionary Mikhail Gorbachev, former General Secretary of the U.S.S.R, has mellowed and slowed down.

With special introduction by storyteller, songwriter, performer and visual artist, Tom Wilson!

Tom Wilson presents BLOOD SIMPLE. “Black humor, abundant originality and a brilliant visual style make Blood Simple a directorial debut of extraordinary promise. Joel Coen, who co-wrote the film with his brother Ethan, works in a noir style that in no way inhibits his wit, which turns out to be considerable.
