Baltimore’s free screening of Gravity: yeah we have passes!

In space, nobody can hear you ask for screening passes.  But that’s okay, because we’re right here on earth.  Woot!  You wanna see Gravity?  Of course you do.  Oscar buzz is already a-buzzing, and I’ve heard the visuals make you feel like you’re actually in space.  Sweet!

Here’s the deets on the film, say thank you to the very nice PR folks:

GRAVITY
Rated; PG-13
gravitymovie.com<http://www.gravity-movie.com>

Cast: Sandra Bullock and George Clooney
Director: Alfonso Cuarón

Academy Award® winners Sandra Bullock (“The Blind Side”) and George Clooney (“Syriana”) star in “Gravity,” a heart-pounding thriller that pulls you into the infinite and unforgiving realm of deep space.  The film was directed by Oscar® nominee Alfonso Cuarón (“Children of Men”).

Dr. Ryan Stone (Bullock) is a brilliant medical engineer on her first shuttle mission, with veteran astronaut Matt Kowalski (Clooney) in command.  But on a seemingly routine mission, disaster strikes.  The shuttle is destroyed, leaving Stone and Kowalski completely alone—tethered to nothing but each other and spiraling out into the blackness.  The deafening silence tells them they have lost any link to Earth…and any chance for rescue.  As fear turns to panic, every gulp of air eats away at what little oxygen is left.

But the only way home may be to go further out into the terrifying expanse of space.

“Gravity” was written by Alfonso Cuarón & Jonás Cuarón, and produced by Alfonso Cuarón and David Heyman (the “Harry Potter” films).  Chris deFaria, Nikki Penny and Stephen Jones served as executive producers.

The behind-the-scenes team includes multiple Oscar®-nominated director of photography Emmanuel Lubezki (“Children of Men,” “The New World”); production designer Andy Nicholson (art director “Alice in Wonderland”); editors Alfonso Cuarón and Mark Sanger (VFX editor “Children of Men”); and costume designer Jany Temime (the “Harry Potter” films).  The visual effects were handled by Oscar®-nominated visual effects supervisor Tim Webber (“The Dark Knight”).  The music was composed by Steven Price (“Attack the Block”).

Warner Bros. Pictures Presents an Esperanto Filmoj/Heyday Films Production, an Alfonso Cuarón Film, “Gravity.”  The film will be released in 3D and 2D and IMAX®, and will be distributed worldwide by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment company.

This film has been rated PG-13 for intense perilous sequences, some disturbing images and brief strong language.

So, let’s get to the passes, right?  Well, here’s how to get ’em….

Baltimore Screening of Enough Said: get your passes!

enougsaidposter

James Gandolfini was an amazing performer.  Julia Louis Dreyfus could pretty much read the phone book and I’d be crying with laughter.  So it’s pretty much a sure thing that Enough Said, a film that brings the two together — and is one of Gandolfini’s last films — is a movie to catch.  What’s it about?  Glad you asked.  Take it away, stupendous supermodels of PR!

 

A divorced and single parent, Eva (Julia Louis Dreyfus) spends her days enjoying work as a masseuse but dreading her daughter’s impending departure for college. She meets Albert (James Gandolfini) – a sweet, funny and like-minded man also facing an empty nest.  As their romance quickly blossoms, Eva befriends Marianne (Catherine Keener), her new massage client. Marianne is a beautiful poet who seems “almost perfect” except for one prominent quality: she rags on her ex-husband way too much. Suddenly, Eva finds herself doubting her own relationship with Albert as she learns the truth about Marianne’s Ex.  ENOUGH SAID is a sharp, insightful comedy that humorously explores the mess that often comes with getting involved again.

Wanna go?  Of course you do.  Well, here’s the deets:

Good morning party people!  Did your weekend go by without you getting your dance on?  Well, I can help you get your fix vicariously.  Because screening passes!  Battle of the Year is the latest cool-beans dance pic, and it’s starring Josh Holloway (LOST), Laz Alonso, Josh Peck, Caity Lotz and Chris Brown.  This film is hitting theaters September 20th, but wanna see it earlier?  Of course you do.  Need more info?  Of course I’ve got it.  Take it away, breakdancing PR peeps!

Battle of the Year is the Olympics of break dancing, a tournament held every year that attracts all the best teams from around the world, but the Americans haven’t won in fifteen years. Los Angeles Hip Hop mogul and former B-Boy Dante (Alonso) wants to put the country that started the Sport back on top. He enlists his hard-luck friend Blake (Holloway), who was a championship basketball coach, to coach his team. Armed with the theory that the right coach can make any team champions, they assemble a Dream Team of all the best b-boys across the country. With only three months until Battle of the Year, Blake has to use every tactic he knows to get twelve talented individuals to come together as a team if they’re going to bring the Trophy back to America where it started. Inspired by the actual world championship held yearly in France.
