I know this edition of the Weekly Update is late, but this week was a bit busy outside The Shadow Over Portland office.  Had a few changes to my schedule at the day job, and my father flew in from Florida to start living with my youngest brother.  So, yeah, I had a complicated week.  In fact, I woke up this Saturday morning not knowing what day it was, or whether I was suppose to be at work or the airport.

Yeah, kind of like this guy, but without the hair.


But I still have some great movie news to share with you, so though it's a bit late, here is the Weekly Update.  Sure, it's only two films, but that's more than we had in theaters a few months ago.  Just remember, seating is limited, you have to wear a mask in the theater and online ticket purchases are recommended.  

Godzilla vs. Kong is still a big box office draw, though that might change next week.  So if you want to see head, head to the 99W Drive-In (3110 Portland Rd in Newberg, OR), where it's the second feature after the original The Wizard of Oz through Saturday, April 17.  It's also still playing at these McMenamins locations: Bagdad Theater and Pub (3702 SE Hawthorne Blvd in Portland, OR),  the Anderson School Theater (18607 Bothell Way NE in Bothell, WA), the Grand Lodge Theater (3505 Pacific Ave in Forest Grove, WA), the Old St. Francis Theater (700 NW Bond St in Bend, OR), the Olympic Club Theater (112 N Tower Ave in Centralia, WA), the Power Station Theater at Edgefield (2126 SW Halsey in Troutdale, OR), and the St Johns Theater (8203 N Ivanhoe St in Portland, OR).  Please click the links for showtimes, advance ticket purchases (strongly suggested) and Covid-19 rules.

 

Both the McMenamins Kennedy School (5736 NE 33 Ave in Portland, OR) and the Joy Cinema and Pub (11959 SW Pacific Highway in Tigard, OR) are showing the animated feature Raya and the Last Dragon.  Again, please click the links for showtimes, advance ticket purchases (strongly suggested) and Covid-19 rules.

I'm planning on spending a bit more time next week on updating the Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Calendar, as well as typing up another Weekly Update with whatever events I can find.  So check back and remember, Pacific Northwest Horror/Sci Fi/Fantasy Fans, The Shadow Over Portland has you covered!  Stay safe, wear your mask, wash your hands and let's do our best to bring conventions back by the end of the year!!
