BYE BYE OCTOBER, HELLO NOVEMBER (and) How Lloyd Dobler is the Hit Man from GROSSE POINT BLANK

NOVEMBER AT THE DRIVE-IN is HERE!

Halloween season is winding down but we still have two more bootastic nights. After tonights presentation of THE SHINING we close HALLOWEEN MONTH OUT with our most ambitious Drive-in event yet...

THE ROCKY HORROR DRIVE-IN PICTURE SHOW

On October 30, film fanatics and theater devotees alike will be transported to Dr. Frank N. Furter’s lab to experience twice the scare as part of the Blue’s simultaneous screen and theatrical presentations of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. Members of Front Yard Theater Collectivewill take the drive-in stage to perform live alongside the movie–a feat that is not only hard to pull off but will put audiences in double the trance.
NOVEMBER brings some returning Blue Starlite seasonal favorites and some new event nights as well! Including our Farmers market Drive-in collaboration starting on Nov. 13th. with CHEF!

GROSSE POINT BLANK!

But first this coming Monday, Nov. 4th we are screening THE BEST HIT MAN ROMANTIC COMEDY EVER MADE. Grosse Point Blank starring Mr. John Cusack. We like to consider it the half sequel to SAY ANYTHING. As our theory is that after Loyde Dobler went to London he slipped through a 80's worm hole, relived high school, skipped prom, and became a HITMAN.

It's not so much a stretch when you watch both movies in order. We are sure this could have been the 80's heart throb's alternative reality, and we love to look at it that way!

PULP FICTION and HARRY POTTER!
Next up on the 5th is PULP FICTION returning as our most requested film, and then THURSDAY, the perfect flick to usher in NOVEMBER, HARRY POTTER and the SORCERERS STONE with BUTTER BEER for sale at our concession stand!!!

CHEF, THE BIG LEBOWSKI and FERRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF
On Nov. 13 the Farmer's market returns to the Grove's Playhouse and we are teaming up with the Market and EDIBLE SOUTH FLORIDA to bring you a night of fresh food and fresh Flicks. Shot the Market for your Drive-in dinner and then head over for the Indie darling flick "Chef."
We also are screening two of the best slacker adventures of all time the same week, bringing back Ferris and the Dude!

Later in the month, we celebrate the countdown to THANKSGIVING with GREASE THE SING ALONG and then take a holiday break starting on Nov. 22nd until Dec. 3rd when we return for a month of CHRISTMAS AND NEW YEARS FUN as only the MINI URBAN DRIVE-IN can deliver!

I put a Spell on you!  The Magic of Hocus Pocus by Indie-Ana Jones

So in the early 90's Disney set out to make a Halloween film for their cable channel, but somehow the script and stars made it worthy of the big screen instead.  That was just the beginning of the magic and mayhem that is now Hocus Pocus.  

The storyline is fun and captivating and brings in a new love for Halloween that isn't too scary but entertaining enough for adults too.  Three centuries of a curse believed to be upon the town of Salem when three witchy sisters are found guilty of stealing the lives of little children and using it to conjure up spells for youth and immortality.   The Sanderson sisters curse the town just as they are being hanged and vow to once again return to claim other little kids.  So it's the 90's and witches and curses are as threatening as the return of beta tapes when a teenage boy unwittingly releases the sisters from the grave to prey upon the small town once again.  It's up to these two teens and one intrepid little girl (Thora Birch from American Beauty) to save the town and banish the sisters forever.  With help of a feline friend, Binx (voiced by James Marsden) who has waited for his chance to avenge his sister, the kids have one Halloween night they will never forget as they run amok trying to run from the witches!

And who are the Sanderson sisters?  Winifried is played wonderfully by Bette Midler (Beaches, The Rose, Drowning Mona...)  who always confessed having loved playing that role more than others in her repertoire.  Sarah a bit of a vixen witch is played by Sarah Jessica Parker (Sex in the City) who actually sang the haunting lullaby that entices children to their death.  Lastly there is Mary, by Kathy Najimy (Sister Act, VEEP) who brings a lot of humor to her role as she always does.  The chemistry between the three is evident and they entice the audience to enjoy their nefarioius plans to rid the town of children.  don't forget cameos by sibling director duo, Garry and Penny Marshall as Satan and his wife.

If you love Halloween, you will love Hocus Pocus, if you don't love Halloween...what on earth is wrong with you!  And if you are reading this thinking you never saw the film well run your little butt over to the Blue Starlite Drive In tonight to start celebrating Halloween on screen!!!  Be careful, you may leave thinking you have been put under a spell!
