Regan’s ready for tomorrows sold-out screening of THE EXORCIST at the historic church Hermitage at Diamond!

Since there’s no concession available at the venue, we’re bringing PizzaMI to serve food from 6PM to showtime at 8PM, so show up early and get some great food.

Hermitage at Diamond is a work in progress to repurpose this special place for the Grand Rapids community. With the exterior restoration almost completed, interior renovations are now being designed. At the time, however, there is no barrier free entrance, so the ability to use stairs is necessary. There are also no bathrooms inside but portable restrooms and a hand washing station will be available outside. A portion of the proceeds from the evenings event will be donated to the project.

We can’t wait to see everyone for what’s sure to be one of the most memorable screenings we’ve ever done!

You might wonder how Satoshi Kon came out of the gates with such a fully formed debut film like Perfect Blue (screening this Monday, October 17th), but Kyle Macciomei reveals that there’s no mystery when you look at his Manga work in the decade leading up to his first film. Kyle shares some key works to help you understand the development and inspiration behind one of the greatest animators who ever lived in Beam From the Booth 155!

We’re kicking of our Complete Satoshi Kon series with Perfect Blue, coming up Monday October 19th at The ᴡᴇᴀʟᴛʜʏ ᴛʜᴇᴀᴛʀᴇ!

A pop idol leaves her group to become an actress and finds her identity unraveling as a stalker closes in. Kon’s debut is one of the great animated thrillers, and it magically predicts the dissociation that the internet will bring to billions in the 21st century. A genuinely unnerving watch that makes it a perfect Halloween-season centerpiece.

We’ve got a hell of a double feature matinee coming up to celebrate Noirvember with TOO LATE FOR TEARS and DOUBLE INDEMNITY on Sunday, November 29th at 2PM!

TOO LATE FOR TEARS has Noir icon Lizbeth Scott in her juiciest role in this restored classic. When a suitcase with $60,000 is randomly tossed in their car, her husband wants to turn it over to the police. Housewife Scott, seeing a chance at the life she always dreamed of, wants to keep it. Then Dan Duryea shows up saying the money belongs to him. Greed, betrayal, and murder follow.

DOUBLE INDEMNITY is by most reckonings the first true noir. Insurance salesman Fred MacMurray falls for unhappily married client Barbara Stanwyck and together they concoct the perfect murder of her husband. But his boss, Edward G. Robinson, suspects foul play and the noose slowly tightens on the doomed pair.
