Hello dinner-and-a-movie lovers! In order to accommodate all of our other special events taking place at the bistro, we will be showing just one movie each month from now on, instead of weekly as before. The exact Thursday may change from month to month, so just check our events calendar. Here's our May movie, and don't forget that our special movie night prix fixe still applies!

May 14th at 7:30PM - Splash
Yes, the 1984 film starring Darryl Hannah as a mermaid and Tom Hanks (as a man who can't swim).
"The story begins in 1959, when a young boy is rescued from a watery grave by an adolescent mermaid. Twenty-five years later, the boy has grown up. Meanwhile, the mermaid, likewise grown up, has surfaced in search of Hanks, her long-lost love. On dry land, the mermaid is able to walk about on legs; any contact with salt water, and she reverts to her half-fish form. Adopting the name of Madison from a New York street sign, the girl manages to win Hanks' heart. Alas, a secret government lab, populated by such smarmy types as Richard B. Shull and Eugene Levy, captures Madison for research purposes--and possible vivisection. Egged on by his brother John Candy, Hanks rescues his beloved, joining her in the ocean depths as a mer-man (mer-fellow? mer-guy?) A captivating confection from the peerless creative team of director Ron Howard and screenwriters Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, Splash was a winner all the way--especially at the box office, where the $11 million film racked up a huge profit."

And just a teaser for next month since this is really cool... In June, we'll be showing Science Is Fiction: 23 Films by Jean Painlevé (a limited selection of course).
