Catch a Free Flick at Catamount
By Marc Samson
On September 16, 2011
Movie ticket prices might stop college students from going to see a movie – but what if they could get in for free?
Watching movies has been adapted into our culture as a large form of entertainment. Going to the theater and having to pay for a movie ticket will detour some movie watchers to wait for the DVD release, but at Catamount Arts in St. Johnsbury, admission is free for LSC students.
Catamount Arts generally have two different films for viewing and are not the general typical Box Office shows. Currently, Catamount Arts is showing "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" and "Tabloid".
Directed by Rodman Flender, "Conan O'Brien Can't Stop" is a movie about O'Brien's difficult time in his career. O'Brien ended up hosting The Tonight Show, previously run by Jay Leno. Shortly after, he was ready for a new job. After splitting from NBC, he did his best to make the most of his newer position by keeping positive and people laughing. In this movie we watch how O'Brien makes different career choices and his struggles to continue to be on television.
"Tabloid", directed by Errol Morris, tells a story about love, faith and shame. Joyce McKinney lived a life of beauty and competition by entering pageants in her teenage years. She falls in love with a Mormon man and movies out to Utah. As her love is sent out on mission to spread the Word of God, she becomes torn and goes to London to find him and take him home. After taking him right out of one of his meetings and tying him to a bed locked away in a cabin, she begins to seduce him away from his duties. As the church find out about her acts, they accuse her of rape and kidnapping; she sees it as acts of love.
Showing times are as follows:
"Tabloid": Night Showings 7:30, and on Friday-Sunday 5:30. Matinees Sunday and Wednesday at 1:30.
"Conan O'Brien Can't Stop": Night Showings 5:30, and on Friday-Sunday 7:30. Matinees Sunday and Wednesday at 1:30.
For non-LSC students: Adults, $8, seniors $6 and General Students $6.
Take some time this weekend from school and get out to relax and enjoy, for free.
