ABOUT BUFFY THE VAMPIRE (PG-13) 1hr 26m:
Pre-dating the cult TV series by a full five years, director Fran Rubel Kuzui brought an unstoppable amount of charm and hilarity to Joss Whedon's monumental script. Don't miss the 30th Anniversary of Buffy's origin story, played with bodacious brilliance by Kristy Swanson as she battles vicious valley girls & vindictive vampires. Sporting an insanely talented cast of Donald Sutherland, Rutger Hauer, Luke Perry, David Arquette, Ben Affleck and Hillary Swank, the evening belongs to Paul Reubens, whose priceless performance as a melodramatic goth vampire named Amilyn is something you will never forget. DCP is courtesy of DIsney. Rated PG-13. 86 minutes.
ABOUT BRING IT ON (PG-13) 1hr 38m:
Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union go head to head in this queer-positive, politically-charged, racially-relevant cheerleading-competition film! Who would have guessed that the brilliant debut script by Jessica Bendinger would not only become a celebrated Broadway musical but has now earned the right to be ranked alongside Clueless (1995) and Mean Girls (2004) as one of the eras defining coming-of-age flicks?! Bust out your toothbrushes, pom poms and spirit fingers to celebrate this genuinely brilliant teen classic. Followed by a reel of 35mm trailers of other teen classics. DCP courtesy of Universal. Rated PG-13. 98 minutes.
