For those in Southern California, capping off a weekend of moviegoing
with a classic cinematic experience just got easier, with the Rialto Theatre‘s announcement of its slate of midnight summer screenings. One of the last remaining single-screen movie palaces in the
Los Angeles area, the beautiful and
historic Rialto is located in the heart of South
Pasadena, and has been operated by Landmark Theatres since 1976. Built in 1925 and sporting a unique blend
of Spanish Baroque and Egyptian stylings, the Rialto was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. It has been
featured in many films and commercials, most notably Robert Altman’s The Player.

Screening this Saturday, June 23, will be Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, a brilliant examination of the Vietnam War and the dehumanizing process that turns people into trained killers. Ticket prices are $8.75. For tickets by phone,
