Spider-Man

“There’s a lot of trial and error in this film, which at its heart is a tale of adolescence rather than some inane battle between good and evil. That’s reflected in the sweet simplicity at its core.” – Mike D’Angelo, The AV Club

In 2002, Sam Raimi brought Spider-Man to the big screen and, with Tobey Maguire as Spidey himself, captured what Stan Lee intended for the character to be: someone to whom teenagers could relate. Sure, there’s a nefarious corporation seeking a military contract that results in a monstrous villain willing to kill the innocent, but at the heart of Spider-Man is a coming of age story about a boy with a crush on a girl. Will he win her love? Will he land that post-graduation job? Yes, right after he lays the big bad to waste. In addition to Maguire, the cast includes Kirsten Dunst, who brings a believable girl-next-door feel to Mary-Jane Watson; James Franco in his studio breakout role as Harry Osborn (a strange start to the purported Renaissance man); and Willem Defoe, always a fun on-screen presence, as the Green Goblin.

After Hours is the best films you never saw on the big screen (or maybe you did) from late-night cult classics to foreign favorites and even summer blockbusters on weekends. Please note that unclaimed pre-ordered tickets will be sold to the rush line 30 mins after showtime.
