Kenny's Korner

Each Thursday for the past decade, I have put out a commentary on the week's films, Vine happenings and fun information in the form of Kenny's Korner.  This has been in our weekly email newsletter.  Please sign up for this newsletter to get my commentary, and the best information about the Vine.  Below is this week's Kenny Korner - enjoy!

 

Hello all,

As you can see above by the top banner, we are celebrating our 70th 
Anniversary all year long!  The first promotion we are running is the for the entire first quarter of the year - $7.00 Anniversary Discount Days every Wednesday!  All seats for all showings are just $7 on Wednesdays now through March 31st!

We have Vine Cinema 70th Anniversary T-Shirts on sale now!  They are $18 and are available in all the sizes up to XXL.

Also, we have our NEW 70th Anniversary display up at the Vine!  Come by to check out our history and learn a few things you probably didn’t know!  We will have pictures of this and the t-shirts in next week’s newsletter!

Starting today, February 12th is WUTHERING HEIGHTS starring film starring Margot Robbie & Jacob Elordi!  Get the girls together for an awesome night out at the Vine, and enjoy our specialty drink, “Wurthering Hearts Frosé.”

Synopsis:  Tragedy strikes when Heathcliff falls in love with Catherine Earnshaw, a woman from a wealthy family in 18th-century England.  

Join us for our next classics night, one week from tonight – THE GODFATHER!  Starring Marlon Brando, Al Pacino, Diane Keaton, James Caan and Robert Duvall, the film won the Oscar for best picture, actor and screenplay at the 1973 Academy Awards.  It plays Thursday night, Feb. 19th at 7pm.

The 2026 Oscar Shorts open at the Vine in one week, on February 20th!  We are showing the Animated, Live Action and Documentary programs this year.  Each one is a separate “movie” as when the shorts are put together they make up a feature film in length.  To allow you to see multiple programs, we are alternating the show times of the three programs, so PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPECIFIC DAY FOR THE PROGRAM YOU WANT TO WATCH.  The Oscar shorts are always well attended, and grow in popularity each year.  Watch these amazing Oscar nominated short films at the Vine from February 20th -26th only!

We are brining in THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE to play with HAMNET for one week only, starting Friday.  Many are saying this film, and Amanda Seyfried specifically got Oscar snubbed.  This drama/musical was limited a few weeks back, so we are excited to be able to bring it in!

Synopsis:  From award-winning writer-director Mona Fastvold (The Brutalist) comes the extraordinary true legend of Ann Lee, founder of the devotional sect known as the Shakers.  Academy Award nominee Amanda Seyfried stars as the Shaker's irrepressible leader, who preached gender and social equality and was revered by her followers. The Testament of Ann Lee captures the ecstasy and agony of her quest to build a utopia, featuring more than a dozen traditional Shaker hymns reimagined as rapturous movements with choreography by Celia Rowlson-Hall (Vox Lux) and original songs & score by Academy Award winner Daniel Blumberg (The Brutalist).

Tickets are now on sale for ALL of our classics nights through March!  After The Godfather we are opening INTERSTELLAR on March 5th!  We have never played this film as a classic, and it is a must see on a giant screen!  We then have STREETCSAR NAMED DESIRE on March 12th, and our annual GREASE SING-ALONG on March 26th!  We will have more on these classics in next week’s newsletter!

We hope that you will continue to spread the word that the Vine Cinema & Alehouse is the valley’s only movie theatre showing independent films and classics, while serving beer, wine and food.
