Movies Alfresco
July’s Los Angeles magazine has a wonderful listing of summer outdoor movie screenings, one probably happening near you. Of course, there’s Cinespia, the graveyard cinema (been there, done that), which is charging a whopping $10 to get in the gates. Do the dead get any cut of that? I hope so considering everyone is trampling on their graves. No, but seriously, I went to Cinespia when it first started. It was spooky and crowded. If you go, don’t forget your wine glasses and candelabras.
Closer to home, South Pas starts their screenings on July 7. Theirs is a family-friendly line up. I may just show up for Kiki’s Delivery Service (Aug. 11) and The Wizard of Oz (Aug. 25). Beware - there will be lots of munchkins around, but hopefully it will be a nice, non-mob scene. Pasadena also has their long-running One Colorado Film Festival. This year it’s Westerns.
The two Santa Monica Pier movies series sound like fun, one is free, the other is $10. The article says that the pier will be covered with a synthetic lawn for people to picnic on. Check out the article for all the details!
(Note: The picture is of an outdoor movie screening in New York City, but you get the gist.)
