CONTEST: Win Passes to an advance screening of FIST FIGHT

We’ve got another interesting film contest for ya! This time, it’s for an advance screening of FIST FIGHT, a new comedy starring Charlie Day and Ice Cube.

“On the last day of the year, mild-mannered high school English teacher Andy Campbell (Day) is trying his best to keep it together amidst senior pranks, a dysfunctional administration and budget cuts that put jobs on the line. But things go from bad to worse when he accidentally crosses his much tougher and deeply feared colleague, Ron Strickland (Ice Cube), who challenges Campbell to an old-fashioned throw down after school. News of the fight spreads like wildfire and may end up becoming the very thing this school, and Campbell, needed.”

The film opens in theatres on February 17th, but if you wanna see it early here’s your chance:

CONTEST: THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE – WIN ADVANCE SCREENING PASSES

The Beguiling is back in black and yellow and offering 2 advance screening passes to see THE LEGO BATMAN MOVIE on February 8th, 2017–2 days before it opens to the public on February 10th!

In the irreverent spirit of fun that made “The LEGO® Movie” a worldwide phenomenon, the self-described leading man of that ensemble – LEGO Batman – stars in his own big-screen adventure. But there are big changes brewing in Gotham, and if he wants to save the city from The Joker’s hostile takeover, Batman may have to drop the lone vigilante thing, try to work with others and maybe, just maybe, learn to lighten up. Featuring Will Arnett, Zach Galifianakis, Michael Cera, Rosario Dawson, and Ralph Fiennes.

CONTEST: WIN TICKETS TO SEE THE TORONTO PREMIER OF LEWIS KLAHR’S “SIXTY SIX”

SIXTY SIX
A film by Lewis Klahr
Tuesday, May 24th, 2016. Doors @ 6:30, Screening @ 7PM
@ Innis Town Hall, 2 Sussex Avenue 
Tickets $8 in advance, $10 at the door

Presented by Cinema Scope Magazine, the Cinema Studies Institute at the University of Toronto, and The Beguiling Books & Art

In the feature-length collage film Sixty Six, Lewis Klahr pastes together an oblique and ominous narrative from scraps of 1960s printed ephemera (comic books, glossy magazines, advertisements), classical music, and Greek mythology. More than a decade in the making, Klahr’s densely constructed magnum opus is “one of the finest cinematic achievements of the year” (Manohla Dargis, The New York Times),” and is the cover feature of the latest issue of Cinema Scope (the aptly numbered #66).

Named one of the top five experimental filmmakers of the 2000s by Film Comment, Lewis Klahr is a Los Angeles-based artist and Guggenheim Fellow who has been hand-making films since 1977. Specializing in collage, he has exhibited internationally, including at the Whitney Biennial, and his work has been purchased by New York’s Museum of Modern Art, where Sixty Six debuted in December.

The good folks at Cineplex and Eleven Arts have hooked us up with passes to see their newest release, THE ANTHEM OF THE HEART, on Friday, November 6th, at 7:00pm. This very special screening is one night only, and is sure to sell out! Getting some guaranteed tickets might be very nice indeed.

naruse_standABOUT THE ANTHEM OF THE HEART

Jun Naruse is a girl who carries the guilt of breaking up her family with the words she carelessly uttered when she was young… Suddenly, a mysterious “Egg Fairy” appears in front of Jun and casts a curse on her so that she can never hurt anybody with her words. Jun’s ability to speak is sealed away: every time she tries, she feels a pain in her stomach. Traumatized by this experience, Jun hides her feelings deep inside of her heart, turning to e-mail as her sole means of communication.

Jun is now a second year high school student, and her teachers have appointed her and three other students to the Regional Friendship Exchange Executive Committee. Can Jun finally make a connection with three other people who may turn out to be just as emotionally traumatized as she is?
