Why I love Where I Live — Reason #215
January 30th, 2009 by James HearnThe local movie theater played The Matrix last Wednesday night.
Saint Helena’s Cameo Cinema is small intimate theatre with one screen. They have a segment titled Art File Series (AFS) that runs every Wednesday night. During this time, a pre-chosen movie is played based on that month’s theme. January was Sci-Fi and lead to the showing of classics such as Blade Runner, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1956), Close Encounters of the Third Kind and The Matrix. I was able to attend all except Close Encounters.
One upcoming theme that management is still trying to decide on is Spaghetti Westerns and will feature more classics like The Searchers and possibly The Magnificent Seven. Another AFS theme for romance will include titles like When Harry Met Sally, An Affair To Remember and Ghost. Although this is not my style, you have to admit — The Art Film Series is a great concept.
