Academy Award®-winning director Danny Boyle and Academy Award®-nominated writer Alex Garland reunite for 28 Years Later, a terrifying new story set in the world created by 28 Days Later. It's been almost three decades since the rage virus escaped a biological weapons laboratory, and now, still in a ruthlessly enforced quarantine, some have found ways to exist amidst the infected. One such group of survivors lives on a small island connected to the mainland by a single, heavily-defended causeway. When one of the group leaves the island on a mission into the dark heart of the mainland, he discovers secrets, wonders, and horrors that have mutated not only the infected but other survivors as well.
The Loft Movie Theatre is proud to present a one-night special screening of Tim Burton’s 1989 dark fantasy action classic, Batman.
In Gotham City, brooding billionaire Bruce Wayne (Michael Keaton) wages a secret war against the city’s criminals as Batman, but his greatest challenge comes when mob enforcer Jack Napier (Jack Nicholson) falls into a vat of chemicals and emerges as the Joker — a psychotic showman with a grin as lethal as his schemes. As the Joker’s reign of terror escalates, Wayne must confront his own demons to rescue photojournalist Vicki Vale (Kim Basinger) and protect Gotham’s citizens from a grisly demise.
As the first Batman movie to be released after the bright campy TV series of the 1960s, Tim Burton’s Gotham was different, merging 1940s film noir with comic book fantasy — bursts of colour amid the smoke and shadows. With unforgettable performances, a soaring Danny Elfman score, and a splash of '80s pop from Prince, Batman is the superhero spectacle not to be missed on the big screen.
On the rugged isle of Berk, where Vikings and dragons have been bitter enemies for generations, Hiccup (Mason Thames; The Black Phone, For All Mankind) stands apart. The inventive yet overlooked son of Chief Stoick the Vast (Gerard Butler, reprising his voice role from the animated franchise), Hiccup defies centuries of tradition when he befriends Toothless, a feared Night Fury dragon. Their unlikely bond reveals the true nature of dragons, challenging the very foundations of Viking society. With the fierce and ambitious Astrid (BAFTA nominee Nico Parker; Dumbo, The Last of Us) and the village's quirky blacksmith Gobber (Nick Frost; Snow White and the Huntsman, Shaun of the Dead) by his side, Hiccup confronts a world torn by fear and misunderstanding. As an ancient threat emerges, endangering both Vikings and dragons, Hiccup's friendship with Toothless becomes the key to forging a new future. Together, they must navigate the delicate path toward peace, soaring beyond the boundaries of their worlds and redefining what it means to be a hero and a leader.
