Matt Shepard is a Friend of Mine

[oceansunshine]

I'm going with a good friend this afternoon to see the just released movie about Matt Shepard. I think I'll need some Kleenex to wipe away some tears?

Bring a fucking carton of tissues, just like the carton of tissues next to my computer. Of course that has little to do with tears generally, but right now that is what they are being used for and that is only the trailer.

I didn't know there was another Matthew Shepard movie out. I will watch when I have the chance!

I hope to see it, but have not seen it advertised where I live as yet.

I saw this movie last Sunday at the O-Cinema in Miami Shores. I highly recommond the movie.

 

Regarding the venue, it is a large restored art deco style movie house built in 1946. It is the nicest venue I've been to in quite a while. Large screen with updated sound system. Worth a trip to see movie(s) there if you visit or live in South Florida.

 

Current movies now playing at this O-Cinema location:

About O Cinema Miami Shores @ MTC

The Shores Theater opened in 1946 and was operated by Paramount back when studios were also able to own movie theaters.. The Art-Deco mini movie palace was designed by architect Harold Steward of the firm Steward and Skinner and quickly became the heart of the quickly growing post-war community. The theater thrived through the mid 1970’s when the proliferation of neighborhood multiplexes made it hard for a single screen auditorium to survive. The theater eventually become a dollar cinema showcasing older release films and finally closing it’s doors circa 1988. In 1990 it reopened as the Shores Performing Arts Theater, producing live theatrical events until that organization’s demise in 2004.

 

The Playground Theater, under the leadership of founder Stephanie Ansin took the space over in 2005, lovingly restoring it to its original splendor while building one of the regions most acclaimed venues for live theater, bringing in over 150,000 children, educators and adults. In 2012, the theater was re-branded the Miami Theater Center, and has expanded its reach to include live theater for children, performances for adults, training in the performing arts, and film through it’s partnership with O Cinema.
