The new quarterly schedule for Chicago’s gorgeous, historical Music Box Theatre, perhaps the city’s premiere art theater, is up. Sadly, I’m less interested in their new stuff than their now comparatively rare revival stuff, but there’s still some must see attractions.
TCM will host a showing of North by Northwest at the Music Box on March 30th. Robert Osbourne and Eve Marie Saint will be there.
Saturday, April 10th sees the fourth annual Sci-Fi Spectacular. They don’t have an official roster up yet, but the poster art indicates that Them!, They Live, Planet of the Vampires, Q (Larry Cohen will make a live appearance at the fest) and Flash Gordon will be showing. The program runs from noon to 2 am. More as details arise.
April 16th sees a revival of Ran, with a newly struck 35mm print. Man, haven’t seen that in a theater in way too long a time.
Good Midnight Movies coming up include UHF, The Room and The Evil Dead.
