One for next week 🗓️: The Globe Cinema is screening Spike Lee’s Do the Right Thing (1989) on Thursday, August 21. Spike’s new film, Highest 2 Lowest, is out in a limited number of theatres this week, but it doesn’t look like there are any showtimes in Calgary 🥲. #yyc

Looking a few weeks out, tickets for the Jaws: 50th Anniversary re-release are on sale, for showtimes Aug. 29–Sept. 4. While it’s in IMAX at Chinook and Country Hills, the Plaza also just added it to their schedule. #yyc

If you haven’t checked out Ari Aster’s COVID-era western Eddington yet, it’s starting up at Canyon Meadows Cinemas and The Plaza. #yyc

On the big, big screen, Zach Cregger’s creepy-looking horror film Weapons has the majority of IMAX showtimes, but F1 is also racing back to Chinook and Country Hills for a few screenings, after becoming Brad Pitt’s highest-grossing movie ever. #yyc

I’ve been keeping an eye on what movies are playing in theatres around Calgary this weekend. Here are a few worth checking out:

The Globe Cinema has screenings of both The Truman Show (1998) and Children of Men (2006) on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.🧵 #yyc

If you haven’t been able to catch F1 or How to Train Your Dragon, they are making their Plaza Theatre debuts this weekend.

Or if you’re looking for a classic, the Globe Cinema has a few more showtimes for the 40th Anniversary of Akira Kurosawa’s Ran. #yyc

Tropic Thunder 🪖
The Land Before Time 🦕
Spy Kids 🕵️

I’m glad I’m missed the *discourse* on Licorice Pizza. I’m catching up on some PTA before One Battle After Another and I thoroughly enjoyed this one. It did a good job encompassing the unique struggle of trying to figure things out in your teens and 20s. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🎥

Checked out Eephus last night and… it might be one of my favourite movies of the year. Bumped it up to ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ after I lay awake thinking about it last night. boxd.it/auKhBZ
