St. Johns Twin Cinema & Pub Portland Oregon

A gallery of dynamic characters clash over the possession of a rare Native American artifact in this wildly entertaining modern-day western. After the artifact falls onto the black market, a shy waitress with big dreams (Sydney Sweeney) teams up with a lovelorn military veteran (Paul Walter Hauser) to gain possession of it, putting them in the crosshairs of a ruthless criminal (Eric Dane) working on behalf of a Western antiquities dealer (Simon Rex). Bloodshed ensues when others join the battle, including the leader of an indigenous group (Zahn McClarnon) and a desperate woman fleeing her mysterious past (Halsey).

This year St. Johns Cinema turned 100, so to celebrate we wanted to try something a little different. We're hosting a series of Secret Movie Screenings on Wednesday nights! What will they be? Could be a 30s classic, an underseen 90s independent or anything in between! Just some favorites we thought would be fun to see on the big screen. Tickets are only $5, so join us for a fun, cheap night out at the movies! First up on August 13th is an underappreciated 80s comedy that deserves to be up there with the greats!

When rookie New York City policeman Harry Griswold ends up in the middle of a shootout while attending an evening of Kabuki theatre, his attempt to save the life of a critically injured performer yields unintended consequences. The dying man bestows his supernatural powers onto Harry, thus rendering him “The Chosen One.” Suddenly finding himself sprouting paper umbrellas and covered in face paint, the initially clumsy cop is transformed into a crime fighting superstar, with the help and training of Lotus, daughter of the deceased actor. But Harry’s new gifts also come with a fresh calling as he learns that he alone has the power to defeat the ancient “Evil One” and foil his diabolical plans for bloodthirsty world domination... From Lloyd Kaufman & Michael Herz, creators of THE TOXIC AVENGER, comes a different kind of superhero: SGT. KABUKIMAN, N.Y.P.D! Mixing high stakes action, spectacular car stunts, monstrous mutants, and Troma’s signature style of madcap gore and hilarious hijinx, this outrageous late-night TV and video store classic features a who's who of cult stars including Joe Fleishaker (TROMA'S WAR), Bill Weeden (CITIZEN TOXIE), and Rick Gianasi (ROBOT HOLOCAUST) as Harry Griswold. Vinegar Syndrome, in collaboration with Troma, is delighted to bring this living comic book back to theatres, newly restored in 4K to its uncensored original Director's Cut!

Only one man has the particular set of skills... to lead Police Squad and save the world! Lt. Frank Drebin Jr. (Liam Neeson) follows in his father's footsteps in THE NAKED GUN, directed by Akiva Schaffer (Saturday Night Live, Popstar: Never Stop Never Stopping) and from producer Seth MacFarlane (Ted, Family Guy). Joining the case are cast Pamela Anderson, Paul Walter Hauser, CCH Pounder, Kevin Durand, Cody Rhodes, Liza Koshy, Eddie Yu, with Danny Huston.

From New Line Cinema and Zach Cregger, the wholly original mind behind Barbarian, comes a new horror/thriller: Weapons. When all but one child from the same class mysteriously vanish on the same night at exactly the same time, a community is left questioning who or what is behind their disappearance. The film stars Josh Brolin, Julia Garner, Alden Ehrenreich, Austin Abrams, Cary Christopher, with Benedict Wong, and Amy Madigan. Cregger directs from his own screenplay.
