Location: Beverley Hills, CA

Summary:
Life in academia hasn’t turned out quite the way English professor Charlie Thurber (Luke Wilson) dreamed it would. He’s an inspiration to his students, but his notable lack of political skills has kept his career on a slow track. Now it looks like Charlie finally has a shot at tenure—until a Yale PhD. (Gretchen Mol) joins the small private college’s teaching staff and threatens to eclipse him. His well-meaning best friend (David Koechner), an anthropology professor specializing in Sasquatch sightings, launches an utterly misguided stealth campaign to promote Charlie’s cause. Meanwhile, Charlie’s sister is pressuring him to spend more time with their aging father, a former star professor who can’t hide his disappointment in Charlie’s stalled career. To complicate matters further, Charlie finds himself attracted to his new competitor. A very funny and uplifting look at a man who reaches a crossroads in his life, and learns he must draw the map himself, TENURE stars Luke Wilson (OLD SCHOOL), Gretchen Mol (3:10 TO YUMA) and David Koechner (TALLADEGA NIGHTS: THE LEGEND OF RICKY BOBBY).

**Couldn't find trailer - seems like movie is still pretty early, but has big star Luke Wilson.

Synopsis: "I've got to do something about the way I look.

Title: HORROR FILM: TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE

Synopsis:Director Tobe Hooper will introduce the screening.

One of the best American horror films from the 1970s and certainly one of the scariest movies ever made. The unknown actors and real-life locations burn themselves into your memory, assuming a nightmarishly twisted reality that lingers long after you’ve seen the film. After hearing of a cemetery desecration, Marilyn Burns and friends go on a jaunt in the broiling Texas countryside to make sure her grandparents’ graves are okay, only to become stranded at the rural home of a family of inbred cannibals. Director Tobe Hooper expertly escalates the horror until you can’t stand it anymore…then goes one step further. With Gunnar Hansen, Ed Neal.

Location: Basement of Schoolhouse Parking Garage, 33 E. Green Street.

Time: 10:00pm

Date: Saturday, July 19, 2008

Dick Van Dyke is Bert, the good-natured chimney sweep and the great Jane Darwell, in her last screen appearance, plays the bird lady. Winner of five Academy Awards, including Andrews for Best Actress and Richard M. & Robert B. Sherman for Best Original Song and Best Original Music Score.

Title: MENTAL HYGIENE SHORT FILMS

Synopsis:

Presented by Archivist and Historian Rick Prelinger.

For the quarter-century following World War II, a special kind of classroom film received wide circulation. These "mental hygiene" films thrived in a confused and nervous America. The rebellious behavior of young people challenging the social norms struck fear into the hearts of parents and educators, who saw dark futures for teens who broke the rules and refused to fit in with society. These concerned adults embraced the metal hygiene film as a new means of delivering social guidance. The creators of the films took their cues from the wildly successful training and propaganda films of the World War II era. They used the same shock and scare techniques to warn teenagers about substance abuse, venereal disease, juvenile delinquency and the awful fate of kids who drive too fast on prom night.

This sweet-natured romantic comedy won three Oscars, including Best Actress for Hepburn.

Frequently Asked Questions

2008-06-29T18:50:00.000-07:00

ABOUT THE WEBSITE

Some of your posts are contests!! What are my chances of winning?
Your chances of winning these "contests" are extremely high!! In fact, many of them are contests that almost everyone wins. Most websites which distribute tickets to Free Movie Screenings do so on a first come, first serve basis and will overbook screenings. Calling it a contest may be protection for certain websites. Regardless, I only post contests on this website that you have a good chance of getting tickets too. Tickets distributed to private screenings or premieres may be harder to win and free movie ticket contests hosted by radio stations may also be a different story. GOOD LUCK!

BEFORE YOU GO TO THE SCREENING

What do I bring with me?
Bring your ticket, an i.d. (just in case) and yourself.

What should I leave at home?
- cameras and cell phones will not be allowed inside most screenings.
- large purses/bags (have to checked in separate line, might as well skip that step)

What is the dress code?
There is no formal dress code. Dress just as you would for a regular movie. At my first screening, there was a group of teenage girls who were very dressed up and they looked very nice, but definitely stood out from the crowd. Most people wear casual clothes.

WHAT TO EXPECT

How early should I get there?
Many advanced screenings tell you on the ticket when they expect you to show up. A good rule is an hour before it starts, 30 minutes at the latest. **I have arrived at 7pm at a 7:30pm showing and been almost last in line. eek.

How crowded are the screenings?
It varies from screening to screening and depends on how popular the movie is and how well the event has been promoted.

Will they check IDs?
ID checking is rare, but always bring an ID just in case. More and more screenings are checking these days.

Do I have to pay for parking?
Screenings take place at upper scale theaters around Los Angeles. Most theaters provide free parking or validation, but some cost a few dollars even with validation. This will obviously vary from screening to screening.

HOW TO GET MORE PASSES

Other than on the internet, are there any other avenues that I might try to obtain free movie screening passes?
Radio stations, tv stations and newspapers sometimes host these types of events.

My Personal Free Movie Screening Experience

2008-06-11T19:22:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone, As a new resident of Los Angeles, it has taken me some time to realize the perks of living minutes from Hollywood. But, boy am I glad that I have discovered them.

What am I talking about?

Well, right now, we are looking past the smog, traffic and fast pace of the city to focus on "Free Movie Screenings."

My husband and I experienced our first Free Movie Preview May 30th at The Landmark Theatre on Pico St. in Los Angeles, CA. We saw Pineapple Express, starring Seth Rogan and James Franco through Onset Productions. Not only did we receive free popcorn and a free soda, but we sat in THE nicest theatre
we have ever been to (ooooh, the seats were soooo comfortable!) ANOTHER PLUS? We got to meet Seth Rogan and James Franco - ok, not really, but we did get to see them in person!! And watch an up close Q&A from the audience. When we left we got a free 512mb disc drive thing that says Pineapple Express on it.

Ultimately, we experienced the thrill & excitement of feeling special and involved in the movie process while watching a movie for FREE!

My husband and I REALLY enjoy going to the movies, but couldn't afford to before. Since this experience.................I have been scouring Craigslist and different websites for advanced movie screenings.

If you live in the LOS ANGELES AREA, consider subscribing to LA Free Movie Screenings blog via RSS Feed or e-mail.

Other websites you can check out include:

Good luck in ALL your advanced movie screening endeavors!!
