Double feature at The Strand Friday
The Strand Theatre (717 Clay St.) is giving folks a great way to kick off the long holiday weekend: a movie double feature tomorrow, Friday night. Buy tickets for one movie or stay for both.
First up is director Peter Jackson’s “They Shall Not Grow Old” starting at 7 p.m.
On the centenary of the end of the First World War, Academy Award winner Peter Jackson (The Lord of the Rings trilogy) presents an extraordinary new work showing the Great War as you’ve never seen it. Using state-of-the-art technology to restore original archival footage that’s more than 100 years old, Jackson brings to life the people who can best tell this story: the men who were there.
“Jackson has brought history to life…” New York Times
Advance tickets at Highway 61 Coffeehouse (1101 Washington St.) $6, at the door $8.
“Under the Silver Lake” starts at 9:30 p.m., with a cash bar and free popcorn.
An aimless man falls down the rabbit hole as he unravels the mystery of a disappearing woman. Convinced that the shoe box she leaves behind contains the answers, his quest for an answer leads him into a Los Angeles underworld.
With Andrew Garfield, Topher Grace, Wendy Vanden Heuvel, Deborah Geffner and Riley Keough.
As always, get advance tickets at Highway 61 Coffeehouse (1101 Washington St.) $6, at the door $8.
