Added some screenings to the main page.

As a part of the Hudson Valley Craft Beer Fest, we’re partnering with Sloop Brewing Company for a screening of STAND BY ME, including a four course feast paired with beers! Rob Reiner’s film about the sadness that comes with the end of childhood innocence still maintains an emotional resonance decades later. Starring the very talented young quartet of River Phoenix, Wil Wheaton, Jerry O’Connell and Corey Feldman, STAND BY ME encompasses all the joy and pain of adolescence with an honest and deft touch, something that is rarely seen in the genre these days.
