📦 Peekaboo...

Two cops (Brad Pitt and Morgan Freeman) track a brilliant and elusive killer who orchestrates a string of horrific murders, each kill targeting a practitioner of one of the Seven Deadly Sins.

Director David Fincher guides us through this iconic feature with a sure understanding of what terrifies us, right up to a stunning denouement that will rip the scar tissue off the most hardened soul!

See it now in a new restoration, made for the big screen!

🍿 "Se7en" screens Saturday, September 5 at 9:15pm

😽 Didn't get tickets for our first run of CatVideoFest shows? Don't worry, we have more coming in September!

Our favourite family-friendly cat-themed film event is back next month from Oscilloscope Laboratories. Each year, across the country, local theatres partner with nearby cat-focused charities, animal welfare associations and shelters alike — a portion of ticket proceeds from every show goes directly to local cats in need.

All proceeds will be going to Ottawa Stray Cat Rescue.

🎞 Hailed as one of the most outstanding films of American cinema, Alfred Hitchcock’s “Rear Window” stars Jimmy Stewart as a professional photographer who’s wheelchair-bound after breaking his leg. Unaccustomed to much downtime, he finds himself drawn into the world seen through the windows of his neighbours.

One night, he witnesses what he believes to be a murder and decides to try and solve the crime himself. Eventually he lures his high society girlfriend (Grace Kelly) into his amateur — and dangerous! — investigation.

With its blend of humour, heart, and chilling mystery, “Rear Window” is the perfect movie to watch on the big screen!

🍭 At Reagan High, the Flawless Four reign supreme. Kind hearted Liz, cut throat Courtney and her air-headed side kick Marcie, and Julie. When a kidnapping prank goes horribly wrong, and the girls accidentally gag Liz to death with a jawbreaker, the Flawless Four is down to three. And the crown for queen bee is up for grabs.

A dark comedy filled with sharp dialogue, delectable late-90s costumes by Vikki Barrett, and biting performances from Rose McGowan and Judy Greer, "Jawbreaker" is Clueless meets Heathers–the cult-classic sleepover flick that your cool older sister snuck into the DVD.

So gather your friends, don your cutest pajamas, and settle in for this overlooked gem of the slumber party canon!

🍿 "Jawbreaker" screens Wednesday, September 9 at 7pm

💗 The ByTowne Cinema is serving up a night of high school drama, talent shows and pink all over with our newest edition of Reel Drag!

⭐ The evening kicks off with a pre-show opening performance by our queens of the night, Ottawa’s best, Sunshine Glitterchild and the Saltina Shaker!

Then, we dive into the world of 2004’s “Mean Girls.” Teenage Cady Heron (Lindsay Lohan) was educated in Africa by her scientist parents. When her family moves to the suburbs of Illinois, Cady finally gets to experience public school and gets a quick primer on the cruel, tacit laws of popularity that divide her fellow students into tightly knit cliques. She unwittingly finds herself in the good graces of an elite group of cool students dubbed “the Plastics,” but Cady soon realizes how her shallow group of new friends earned this nickname.

Come for the queens, stay for the chaos!

👗 Costumes HIGHLY encouraged!
