Alien Trespass – Bridge Theater
About eleven of you will be extremely excited about this homage to 50s science fiction films. It features plenty a top hat, diner waitress, jazz-hand scream, and an already hair gelled Erick McCormack. Starts Friday, April 3rd.
Awesome but confusingly named Steve McQueen helmed this look inside the Maze Prison in Northern Ireland. A hunger strike is the main course for Bobby Sands (Michael Fassbender) as he and others protest the 1980s treatment of IRA members. Pairs especially nicely with milk duds. Starts Friday, April 3rd.
