An eccentric documentary crew treks across the vast roadways of Alberta, Canada, to document monuments, museums, and other roadside curios. Armed with only a loose idea of the project’s final form, the wayward director struggles to manage a slew of messy personal
entanglements and rivalries embroiling her collaborators. They look for meaning in the landscape, but their search turns inward as they’re inspired to reckon with their own lives.

Directed with a light touch, this charming cross-country odyssey is part revisionist Western and part road movie. Punctuated by moments of extraordinary tenderness and unexpected violence, it invokes poetry, magic, and prayer to imagine a radical, caring form of wildness on the Canadian frontier. With Liz Peterson, Bebe Buckskin, Ingrid Vargas, Randall Okita, Kris Demeanor, Benjamin Carson.

Filmmakers including Director Alexander Carson and David Ehrenreich (DOP) in attendance for Q&A.

ALBERTA NUMBER ONE (Alexander Carson, 2025 / 83 mins / NR) Alberta Number One is a contemporary revisionist Western. Instead of guns, the characters brandish movie cameras and microphones as they explore the disjointed, sometimes dangerous "wild west" of Alberta, Canada's museums and roadside attractions.

The Kingdom of Abraxeon has fallen under siege by the Dreadites, a scourge of bloodthirsty demonic warriors said to herald the return of the sinister, ancient sorcerer Nekromemnon. The titular Deathstalker (martial artist and legendary stuntman Daniel Bernhardt) is a lone wolf who survives by scavenging the corpses strewn about the battlefields. After recovering a mysterious amulet, he becomes cursed by an arcane magick, sending him on a quest to remove the curse and rid the realm of evil.

Inventive practical effects take center stage in FX wizard Steven Kostanski’s (PSYCHO GOREMAN, MANBORG) thrilling reboot of the 80s cult classic sword-and-sorcery film series. Featuring animatronic demons, rubber masked trolls, stop-motion skeletons, copious amounts of blood, and a hard rock theme song composed by Slash (who is also a producer of the film), DEATHSTALKER is a heavy metal hack-and-slash adventure that offers something for gorehounds, fantasy nerds, and anybody looking for a big dose of direct-to-video nostalgia.

"It’s a playground for the filmmakers and audience alike, a fantastical space where anything can happen, whether it’s silly or badass or both." (The Wrap)

"With 'Deathstalker', Kostanski attempts to bring his loose, gleeful style to the sword and sorcery genre, and mostly succeeds, giving us another midnight movie essential." (AV Club)

DEATHSTALKER (The Kingdom of Abraxeon is under siege by the Dreadites, heralds of the long-dead sorcerer Nekromemnon. When Deathstalker recovers a cursed amulet from a corpse-strewn battlefield, he's marked by dark magick and hunted by monstrous assassins. To survive, he must break the curse and face the rising evil. Death is just the beginning... of great adventure!

What kind of woman do you become when your dad’s “The Butcher”, your uncle is a “Mad Dog” and your godfather is André “The Giant”? ... A LUNATIC!

LUNATIC is the story of Canadian-American women’s wrestler-turned WWF villain, Trudy Vachon. But you may know her best as the leather studded, growly voiced, mohawk wearing in-ring persona, Luna ‘The Lunatic’ Vachon.

Raised in Montreal by a family of wrestling legends, wrestling was her first love. And like most first loves, her parents weren’t thrilled that their little girl fell so deep. Reaching the peak of her fame in the 90s, she paved the way for a new generation of women wrestlers and started a global movement which put womenon a more level playing field and earned them as much respect as their male counterparts. Luna aimed to be the biggest, baddest wrestling villain that ever lived. But despite her successes, both her stage persona and reality started to blur. The guilt of abandoning her two sons to pursue her dream job, being diagnosed as bipolar, abuse, and addiction would prove too much. While the crowd yelled out ‘Lunatic’ to her in-ring heel character, little did they know a dark cloud of mental health struggles plagued her in real-life.

Director Kate Kroll and guests including wrestlers Raven Lake and Nicole Matthews in attendance for post-screening Q&A.

Scottish director Lynne Ramsay's (WE NEED TO TALK ABOUT KEVIN, YOU WERE NEVER REALLY HERE) intense psychological drama DIE MY LOVE offers a blistering depiction of a woman engulfed by love and madness.

In one of 2025's most talked about performances, Jennifer Lawrence is Grace, a writer and young mother, who is slowly slipping and spiraling into the troubling mental abyss of post-partum psychosis. Locked away in an old house in and around Montana, we see her grow increasingly agitated and erratic, leaving her companion, Jackson, increasingly worried and helpless. With Robert Pattinson.

"Lynne Ramsay’s raw and animalistic character study proves to be the perfect vehicle for Jennifer Lawrence. She’s never been better as a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown." (Empire Magazine)

"Jennifer Lawrence is superb at exemplifying Grace’s confusion. She alternates fluidly between domestic tranquility and feral rage, often in the same scene. Even as Grace’s grasp on reality seems to slip, her turbulence comes off as entirely natural." (The Atlantic)

"[Executive Producer] Martin Scorsese, it’s reported, was convinced that no other actor could do justice to the complex character. He may well be correct: Lawrence is thrillingly uninhibited and physically impulsive." (Observer UK)

"[Jennifer] Lawrence gives a performance to die for in a devastating tragicomedy about postpartum depression that drives away her husband (Robert Pattinson). Scottish director Lynne Ramsey doesn’t know from comfort zones and she may push you too far. Let her push." (The Travers Take)

DIE MY LOVE (Lynne Ramsay, 2025 / 119 mins / 14A) In a forgotten patch of countryside, a woman is battling her demons: embracing exclusion yet wanting to belong, craving freedom whilst feeling trapped, yearning for family life but wanting to burn the entire house down. Given surprising leeway by her family for her increasingly erratic behavior, she nevertheless feels ever more stifled and repressed. Motherhood, womanhood, the banality of love, the terrors of desire, the brutality of another person carrying your heart forever.

With Tatiana Maslany (ORPHAN BLACK), Rossif Sutherland, Claire Friesen.

"If you’re on the filmmaker’s unique, unhurried wavelength, Keeper makes for one engaging and original grim fairy tale that bides its time getting under your skin as romance curdles into one messed up nightmare." (Bloody Disgusting)

"Part of what makes Perkins’ film so refreshing is the way it prioritizes its visceral effect on an audience over a desire to bend that story into a modern relationship parable." (Guardian)

"'Keeper' will creep you out." (SciFiNow)

"A chilling descent into the nature of coercion, reminding us that the deepest terror resides in the shadows we accept and the creatures hiding within them." (FandomWire)

George A. Romero’s DAY OF THE DEAD, the apocalyptic final chapter of the ultimate zombie trilogy, returns for its 40th Anniversary!

Whole generations of horror lovers had never seen any of Romero’s zombie classics at a theatre or drive-in, but in November 2021 Red Band Releasing started helping book the original DAWN OF THE DEAD into venues across U.S. and Canada, eventually getting it shown in both 2-D and 3-D on over 500 screens! Now in 2025 Red Band is thrilled for the opportunity to help fellow George A. Romero fans celebrate the 40th Anniversary of the original DAY OF THE DEAD by seeing it as the legendary director intended – ON THE BIG SCREEN!

DO NOT MISS this rare chance to experience the shocks of THE DARKEST DAY OF HORROR THE WORLD HAS EVER KNOWN – ON THE BIG SCREEN!

When first released in 1985, many horror fans weren’t ready for the bleaker, more nihilistic and grisly horrors of DAY, particularly not after the lighter, at times comedic, action/adventure of its predecessor DAWN OF THE DEAD. Some fans didn’t understands or appreciate the change of direction, but there were several who saw what George was doing under the surface, and over the years it has been re-watched, re-experienced and re-evaluated to the point where DAY OF THE DEAD is now seen by many as one of the greatest horror movies ever made! (RED BAND RELEASING)

"The movie represents Romero's very best writing, with unusually strong characters for a gore picture." (San Francisco Chronicle)

"If you stomach can take it, you will definitely be amused by this." (L.A. Weekly)

DAY OF THE DEAD (George A. Romero, 1985 / 101 mins / NR) The living dead regroup above while humans sweat it out below in a Florida missile silo.

1936. As villages across mandatory Palestine rise against British colonial rule, Yusuf drifts between his rural home and the restless energy of Jerusalem, longing for a future beyond the growing unrest. But history is relentless. With rising numbers of Jewish immigrants escaping antisemitism in Europe, and the Palestinian population uniting in the largest and longest uprising against Britain's 30-year dominion, all sides spiral towards inevitable collision in a decisive moment for the British Empire and the future of the entire region.

Directed by Annemarie Jacir (WAJIB)and starring Jeremy Irons, Liam Cunningham, Yasmine Al Massri, Saleh Bakri, and Billy Howle, PALESTINE 36 is Palestine’s Official Selection for the 98th Academy Awards and has received universal audience and critical acclaim in its festival rollout, including a record-setting 23 minute standing ovation at TIFF, and winning Best Film at The Tokyo International Film Festival.

"Epic... Grand in scale." (Variety)

"... a handsomely mounted period piece that competently navigates its complex network of interwoven storylines." (Observer UK)

"An affecting denouement, which gestures towards seemingly unbreakable chains of intergenerational violence, shakes off any remaining comforting period drama gloss to speak directly, arrestingly, to today." (Sight & Sound)

"Annemarie Jacir's polished epic is brimming with a humanist energy of hope amidst the violence." (Screen Rant)

This limited "sneak preview" of the widely anticipated PALESTINE 36 is presented in partnership with Watermelon Pictures, in recognition of the International Day of Solidarity with Palestine.

It all begins…with a choice.

We're sinking our teeth into and working our way through one of the most beloved, most requested franchises we've had lately, so whether you're #TeamJacob or #TeamEdward, get ready to bring on all the the heated sidelong glances and moments of sparkling, yet awkward silences for a bloody good 15th Anniversary screening of the third installment of the Twilight saga, ECLIPSE.

In this chapter of the series, Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart) is surrounded by danger as Seattle is hit by a string of murders and an evil vampire continues her quest for revenge. In the midst of it all, Bella is forced to choose between her love, Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), and her friend, Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) — knowing that her decision may ignite the ageless struggle between vampire and werewolf.

"Fifteen years after its release, 'Twilight' stands as a powerful, darkly stylish depiction of teen female desire." (Refinery 29)

"I watched 'Twilight" in a cinema full of young girls who, when they weren't texting friends and guzzling soft drinks, giggled, sighed and exhaled with a passion that was not only endearing, but a measure of its emotional truth." (Daily Telegraph)

"A sometimes girlie swirl of obsession that will delight fans, this faithful adaptation is after teenage blood, and will most likely hit a box office artery." (Empire Magazine)

"The two hormonal teenagers sizzle like sausages in a frying pan. The supernatural stunts don't disappoint. Neither does the deadpan wit." (Times UK)

PAVILJON (PAVILION) (Dino Mustafic | 2025 | 100 mins | BHS w/ EST | NR) A group of spunky seniors launch an armed rebellion against the employees of their retirement home, where they’ve been subjected to years of abuse and humiliation. Abandoned by their loved ones and left with nothing to lose, they stage an insurrection that grabs headlines, shocks the country — and proves that it’s never too late to find something worth fighting for.

The Rio Theatre is delighted to welcome writer-director Jeremy Saulnier to the venue for a 10th Anniversary screening of his white-knuckle thriller GREEN ROOM, followed by a live talk back and Q&A.

Down on their luck punk rockers The Ain’t Rights are finishing up a long and unsuccessful tour, and are about to call it quits when they get an unexpected booking at an isolated, run-down club deep in the backwoods of Oregon. What seems merely to be a third-rate gig escalates into something much more sinister when they witness an act of violence backstage that they weren’t meant to see. Now trapped backstage, they must face off against the club’s depraved owner, Darcy Banker (a quietly terrifying Sir Patrick Stewart), a man who will do anything to protect the secrets of his nefarious enterprise. But while Darcy and his henchmen think the band will be easy to get rid of, The Ain’t Rights prove themselves much more cunning and capable than anyone expected, turning the tables on their unsuspecting captors and setting the stage for the ultimate life-or-death showdown. Also starring Anton Yelchin, Alia Shawkat, and Imogen Poots.

"Patrick Stewart is impressive as a white supremacist in a genuinely shocking horror-thriller about a punk band’s battle with neo-Nazis." (Guardian)

"How can you resist a film that, metaphorically, throws Simon & Garfunkel, Fugazi and Slayer into the same moshpit?" (London Evening Standard)

"Smartly cast, Stewart brings an almost Shakespearean edge to the drama, delivering lines such as "all is for nought" in the manner of a theatrical king surveying the devastation of a five-act tragedy." (Observer UK)

"Green Room means business, the nastiest kind. You've been warned." (Rolling Stone)

"A riotous, rough-hewn and rousing punk reinvention of ’70s-style grindhouse exploitation-with-a-brain-cinema." (Empire)

Вперше на великому екрані — історія головного гурту незалежної України, «Океан Ельзи: Спостереження Шторму»!

Стрічка поєднує унікальні архіви, невідомі факти та щирі спогади тих, хто творив і розвивав колектив, пісні якого стали символом свободи, любові та боротьби.

Це відверта розповідь про музичні перемоги, шалену популярність поруч із конфліктами, розривами та історичними викликами, які переживала країна.

«Зйомки фільму дали нам, музикантам, унікальну нагоду самим озирнутись на наш шлях у 30 років. Згадати такі події і моменти, про які мало хто пам'ятав, а дехто і не знав навіть. Усі ті виступи, репетиції, зустрічі, прощання, радощі та труднощі, важкі рішення... І пригадавши то все, розумієш, скільки моментів залишалося поза очима публіки. У фільмі ми чесні і відверті. Усі, хто брав участь у зйомках, хто в різні етапи був частиною життя і шляху ОЕ», — поділився Святослав Вакарчук.

For the first time on the big screen — the story of the main band of independent Ukraine, "Elzy's Ocean: Storm Observation"!

The film combines unique archives, unknown facts and sincere memories of those who created and developed the collective, whose songs became a symbol of freedom, love and struggle.

This is a frank story about musical victories, wild popularity alongside conflicts, ruptures and historical challenges that the country was experiencing.

"Filming the film gave us, the musicians, a unique opportunity to look back on our path in 30 years. To remember such events and moments that few people remembered, and some did not even know about. All those performances, rehearsals, meetings, farewells, joys and difficulties, difficult decisions... And remembering all that, you understand how many moments remained out of the public's sight. In the film we are honest and frank. "Everyone who participated in the filming, who at different stages was part of OE's life and journey," shared Svyatoslav Vakarchuk.

Okean Elzy: Stormwatch (Artem Hryhorian | 2025 | 125 mins | Ukrainian w. EST | NR) A biographical music documentary about Okean Elzy, Ukraine's most iconic band: from obscurity to stadiums, their journey spans internal conflicts, creative challenges, and the country's turbulent history.

За виробництво відповідала студія KNIFE! Films, відома за стрічкою «Яремчук: Незрівнянний світ краси», серіалами «ЕПІЗОДИ» та «СПАЛАХ ».

«За час роботи над фільмом ми опрацювали величезну кількість архівних матеріалів, щоб скласти цілісну історію “Океану Ельзи”. Провели десятки годин відвертих інтерв’ю з колишніми й теперішніми учасниками, а також людьми, які були поруч із гуртом на їхньому шляху.

Неважливо, чи слухаєте ви їх щодня, чи знаєте лише головні хіти — значення цього гурту виходить далеко за межі музики. Завдяки фільму кожен зможе зрозуміти, як “Океан Ельзи” став легендарним явищем для нашої країни», — розповів Максим Сердюк, продюсер фільму, співзасновник KNIFE! Films.

The production was carried out by the studio KNIFE! Films, known for the film “Yaremchuk: Incomparable World of Beauty”, the TV series “EPISODES” and “FLASHES”.

“During the work on the film, we processed a huge amount of archival materials to compile a holistic story of “Okean Elzy”. We conducted dozens of hours of candid interviews with former and current members, as well as people who were close to the band on their path.

It doesn’t matter whether you listen to them every day or only know their main hits - the significance of this band goes far beyond music. Thanks to the film, everyone will be able to understand how “Okean Elzy” became a legendary phenomenon for our country,” said Maksym Serdyuk, the film’s producer and co-founder of KNIFE! Films.

Celebrated filmmaker Kelly Reichardt (FIRST COW, SHOWING UP) directs an unforgettable Josh O'Connor (CHALLENGERS, Netflix's THE CROWN) in THE MASTERMIND, her latest Cannes triumph.

In a sedate Massachusetts suburb circa 1970, unemployed family man and amateur art thief J.B Mooney sets out on his first heist. With the museum cased and accomplices recruited, he has an airtight plan... Or so he thinks. A brilliant look at the folly of man, THE MASTERMIND also features Alana Haim, Gaby Hoffmann, John Magaro, Hope Davis and Bill Camp. Rich in textured detail, this sly depiction of an era subverts long-held illusions and confronts disillusionment.

"Where many male directors might find this heroic, Kelly Reichardt finds it deluded and often comical. She can spot a narcissist at a hundred yards." (NPR)

"'The Mastermind' is a slow-burn thriller, directed with a thief’s precision by Kelly Reichardt and anchored by an excellent performance by Josh O’Connor." (Chicago Reader)

"This is magnetic, compulsively watchable work from O’Connor, who is shaping up to be one of the finest actors of his generation." (Observer UK)

"This is Josh O’Connor at his finest yet, and The Mastermind is the slinkiest, most satisfying piece of “mood cinema” you’re likely to have seen for a long while." (London Evening Standard)

"The film might not work if it starred anyone but Josh O’Connor. He’s one of the great recent finds in world cinema, and an actor who seems to be everywhere now, deservedly so. It’s exciting just to watch him sit and think." (RogerEbert.com)

THE MASTERMIND (Kelly Reichardt, 2025 / 110 mins / 14A) In 1970, failed architect James Blaine Mooney and cohorts wander into a museum in broad daylight and steal four paintings. When holding onto the art proves more difficult than stealing them, Mooney is relegated to a life on the run.

The only person standing in your way is you.

A psychological thriller set in the world of New York City ballet, BLACK SWAN stars Natalie Portman (who took home a much deserved Best Actress Oscar) as Nina, a featured dancer who finds herself locked in a web of competitive intrigue with a new rival at the company (Mila Kunis, who received an Oscar nomination for her performance). Visionary director Darren Aronofsky's (THE WHALE, REQUIEM FOR A DREAM) psychosexual thriller takes a terrifying journey through the fevered mind of a young ballerina whose starring role as the duplicitous swan queen turns out to be a part for which she becomes frighteningly perfect.

Nina's life (like all those in her profession), is completely consumed with dance. She lives with her obsessive former ballerina mother Erica (Barbara Hershey) who exerts a suffocating control over her. When artistic director Thomas Leroy (Vincent Cassel) decides to replace prima ballerina Beth MacIntyre (Winona Ryder) for the opening production of their new season, Swan Lake, Nina is his first choice. But Nina has competition: a new dancer, the mysterious Lily (Kunis), who impresses Leroy as well. Swan Lake requires a dancer who can play both the White Swan with innocence and grace, and the Black Swan, who represents guile and sensuality. Nina fits the White Swan role perfectly but Lily is the personification of the Black Swan. As the two young dancers expand their rivalry into a twisted friendship, Nina begins to get more in touch with her dark side - a recklessness that threatens to destroy her.

"A ballet movie so majestically lurid it almost creates its own genre; a backstage melodrama set in a dark hall of mirrors." (Seattle Times)

"Visceral and real even while it's one delirious, phantasmagoric freakout." (New York Times)

"For every moment of exquisite grace, Aronofsky compensates with a shot of bruised toes mercilessly cracking, or someone taking a pair of scissors to the sole of a pink toe shoe." (Washington Post)

BLACK SWAN (Darren Aronofsky, 2010 / 108 mins / 14A) A ballet dancer wins the lead in "Swan Lake" and is perfect for the role of the delicate White Swan - Princess Odette - but slowly loses her mind as she becomes more and more like Odile, the Black Swan.

STATE ORGANS (Raymond Zhang | 2024 | 74 mins | Mandarin w. EST | NR) When two young people mysteriously disappeared in police custody in mainland China, their families began a 20-year dangerous search for them within the communist state. What they encountered was merciless rejection, a shocking state crime, and eventually, a sense of hope as a renewal of traditional faith emerged in China. The atrocity of state-sanctioned forced organ harvesting in China is comparable to the holocaust in World War II, with tens of thousands of victims, but the difference is: it is still going on. From Peabody Award-winning Filmmaker and Emmy Award-winning Composer.

Post-Screening Panel Discussion (in English)
Panelists:
Director - Raymond Zhang
Producer - Cindy Song
Consultant - David Matas, International human rights lawyer, Nobel Peace Prize nominee (joining online)

Ostavrenje „Hajduk u Beogradu“ je prva filmska ekranizacija kultnog romana Gradimira Stojkovića koji je, od kada je objavljen 1985. godine, beležio srećnu mladost mnogim generacijama. Legendarni junak najpopularnijeg serijala knjiga sa ovih prostora - Gligorije Pecikoza Hajduk stiže i na veliko platno. Hajduk se doseljava sa porodicom u Beograd i postaje deo VIII5 razreda. Trudi se da bude prihvaćen i kao dobar drug i kao odličan đak i kao odgovoran sin. Rastrzan između novih iskustava i osećanja, Hajduk će otkriti da postoji sila koja sve može da promeni i uzburka: ljubav...

The Pavilion (Bosnian: Paviljon) is a 2025 Bosnian black comedy film directed by Dino Mustafić, and co-written by Croatia's Viktor Ivančić and Bosnia's Emir Imamović Pirke. The film starring Rade Šerbedžija, Ksenija Pajić and Mirjana Karanović tells the story of elderly residents of a nursing home, who frustrated by years of abuse, arm themselves and rise up against the staff, resulting in a tense confrontation with law enforcement.

Two decades after his highly successful debut feature film “Remake” – one of the most-watched films in Bosnia and Herzegovina – Mustafić returns to feature filmmaking with “The Pavilion”. Premiered at the Rotterdam Film Festival, where it was named one of the top five films, “Remake” was screened at numerous international festivals. “The Pavilion” is his second feature film. Mustafić is also well known for his acclaimed documentaries (“The Runway of Life”, “Let There Be Light”, “Miracle in Bosnia”, “An Artist’s View of the Past”, “Transforming tomorrow”...). In addition to film, Mustafić has developed a strong theatre career, having directed in many regional and international theaters, with his productions winning numerous awards at international, regional, and national festivals.

As the holidays approach, Clark Griswold wants to have a perfect family Christmas, so he pesters his wife, Ellen, and children, as he tries to make sure everything is in line, including the tree and house decorations. However, things go awry quickly. His hick cousin, Eddie, and his family show up unplanned and start living in their camper on the Griswold property. Even worse, Clark's employers renege on the holiday bonus he needs.With Chevy Chase, Beverly D'Angelo, Juliette Lewis, Johnny Galecki, and Randy Quaid.

"If it doesn't make you at least giggle, then you clearly don't understand the true meaning of the festive season." (Empire Magazine)

"Yippee ki yay, motherfudger!

Send your movie-loving' self into Christmas overdrive with what is - hands down - one of the absolute biggest, baddest motherfudging edge-of-your-seat big screen thrill rides ever, DIE HARD. In (arguably) his signature performance, Bruce Willis shines as a streetsmart (and mostly barefoot!) cop tasked with outsmarting a group of terrorists who have taken over a building in downtown LA. Also starring the late, great Alan Rickman (Hans Gruber!) and Bonnie Bedelia.

"Its many imitators (and sequels) have never come close to matching the taut thrills of the definitive holiday action classic." (Rotten Tomatoes)

"DIE HARD is an action picture with a capital A. In fact, you might as well go ahead and capitalize the whole darn word." (Orlando Sentinel)

"For all its moments of almost overwhelming cheese, DIE HARD is still the definitive action thriller." (Total Film)

DIE HARD (John McTiernan, 1988 / 131 mins / 18A) New York City Detective John McClane has just arrived in Los Angeles to spend Christmas with his wife. Unfortunately, it is not going to be a Merry Christmas for everyone. A group of terrorists, led by Hans Gruber, is holding everyone in the Nakatomi Plaza building hostage – including Mrs. McClane! With no way of anyone getting in or out, it’s up to the street-smart (and barefoot) McClane to stop them all and save the day.

Deck the halls with endless cereal...

The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party is returning to the Rio Theatre with a brand new collection of specially curated retro TV goodness covered in sugary cereal, and sprinkled with endless Holiday cheer. It's Volume XI - The Christmas Show! Even better? This program will be screening on Saturday, December 13 and again on Saturday, December 20, so you have TWO chances to make merry and eat cereal in a movie theatre.

Kids today may not realize the significance of the Saturday morning ritual, but once upon a time, we had to wait a whole week to get our cartoon fix, and when we got it, we tended to binge. Well – welcome to The Saturday Morning All-You-Can-Eat Cereal Cartoon Party - that special time when kids and kids-at-heart get to relive the exciting Saturday morning ritual of non-stop retro cartoons, and binge on the multi-colored sugary cereals that used to be a part of every “balanced” breakfast!

The cartoon lineup is always a mystery, but Volume VI will be covered in an extra coating designed to make merry and spread all kinds of Holiday cheer. Expect the unexpected, from faves and obscurities spanning the '30s through the '90s, all punctuated with vintage commercials, PSAs and station IDs for a 3-hour trip down memory lane! Get ready for a sugar rush and an explosion of nostalgia in one hair-raising morning.

Even better...? A Holidaze COSTUME CONTEST! Show us what you've got, or maybe just show off your best Holiday-inspired jammies. Costumes (and, as always, comfy pajamas in chic patterned flannel sporting elasticized waistbands) are welcome and encouraged.

Join us at the Rio Theatre for the final Friday Late Night Movie selection of 2025, John Carpenter's seminal work of winter-y body horror, THE THING.

This 1982 remake of Howard Hawke's 1951 classic is a bleak, tense and frightening sci-fi thriller that delivers some truly memorable practical and makeup effects, in addition to Kurt Russell's pitch-perfect performance. THE THING is an ice-cold white-knuckle chiller about about scientists in the Antarctic who are confronted by a shape-shifting alien that assumes the appearance of the people that it kills.

"THE THING is a peerless masterpiece of relentless suspense, retina-wrecking visual excess and outright, nihilistic terror." (Empire Magazine)

"THE THING is one of [Carpenter's] greatest moments, creating a terrifying atmosphere of claustrophobia, suspense and paranoia. And Kurt Russell is as good as he's ever been, wearing one of the best beards in movie history." (Total Film)
