"Surprise Cinema" at Old Mill Playhouse.
 
I just noticed this on their website. A movie shown once a month that you will not know what it is until the movie starts.

There are a lot of movies each year though that I would hope to skip. Many I want to see, too. But two or more hours in my kind of busy life is not something I would just readily gamble with each month.

And it could be Kevin Costner's latest western. These usually run a lot more than two hours.

They expect us to pay to see a movie that percentage wise we have no interest in?

if we did this would most likely leave that theater and see a different one at Old Mill

It looks like it is one movie a month. Other Epic Theaters had started this in January of 2025 or later.

I seen original pulp fiction I think was in January or maybe February can’t remember. I’ll only go if I know what they are showing. I also think depends on who owns rights to movies? May limit their choice of older classics?

Speaking of the Old Mill Playhouse movie theater, now they are showing two new movies about the last supper of Christ. One is the first part of Season five of a TV series called "The Chosen." (they're calling the movie "The Chosen: Last Supper Part 1) I've been following this series since its inception. I've found the quality of the cast excellent, the writing brilliant and the first century backdrop amazing. Season five starts the Passion. You don't have to watch the first four seasons to follow what's going on in this movie, since the Passion is a story that's pretty well-known.

The other movie is called "The Last Supper," which is about the same thing. I'm not familiar with this production. Funny that they would have two new movies about the same subject made by two different production companies, opening at the same time.

The Chosen is excellent. I have the series on VuDu except for the latest season. I did Minor in Religious Studies so I did read The Bible rather often. Love the Gospels. A lot of the other The Bible books not so much. The Chosen is great story telling.
