Let's Hear It For The Girl!

Michelle Pfeiffer

One of my all time favorite actresses Michelle Pfeiffer is now immortalized in the courtyard of the TCL Chinese Theater in Hollywood, CA!

The ceremony took place April 25th with her husband David E. Kelly and former co-stars Dakota and Elle Fanning in attendance.

What's that you ask? What's my favorite Michelle Pfeiffer performance? Technically all of them but if I had to choose one it would be Elvira Hancock in Scarface.

She was pitch perfect in it. So perfect that I couldn't imagine no one else in the role.

A close second is Madam Olenska in Martin Scorsesse's The Age Of Innocence which I rewatched recently for the first time since the film was released in 1993 on Netflix. 

Congratulations Michelle, you deserve it!

At The Drive-In


I remember Drive-Ins...

From sleeping in the concession stand to working entirely for free, the quirky film fanatics at the struggling Mahoning Drive-in face uncertainty when Hollywood announces it will switch to digital projection for all new movies. Unable to purchase an expensive digital projector, the Mahoning gang pin their hopes of survival on showing only vintage 35mm film prints on their original 1949 projectors. Relive their underdog story to save film, the Mahoning Drive-in, and drive-in theaters everywhere. 

"Technology moves so fast today, faster than ever before. As technology distracts us from one another and segments us further into smaller audiences, it was just magical to see a bunch of people gather together in rural Pennsylvania to watch film flicker through a projector from 1948," Alexander Monelli, director. "That's ultimately what this documentary is about."

At The Drive-in won "Best Local Feature" at the 26th annual Philadelphia Film Festival. It has also screened at multiple Alamo Drafthouses and at TCL Chinese Theatre in Hollywood as an official selection of Dances With Films.

Bonus Materials
  • Over 17 Minutes of Deleted Scenes
  • Three Separate Feature Length Commentary Tracks (two with cast and one with director)
  • 30-minute Q&A from Alamo Drafthouse Screening
