How To Buy Advance Tickets
We're expecting some sellout shows of The Artist this weekend, so we recommend that you buy your tickets online a few hours before the show (or earlier) to guarantee yourself a seat. It's still a good idea to arrive 15-20 minutes before the showtime to get a good spot. Once you purchase your tickets online […]
Read More...Ragtag and the Golden Globes
Well, I didn't get a chance to see the Golden Globes this year but if you did I expect you're looking forward to The Artist opening this Friday! And if you didn't and haven't read about it, let me fill you in: The Artist took home three Globes: Best Motion Picture (Comedy/Musical), Best Performance (by […]
Read More...Notes from the attic: Human Centipede 2
We showed this film for one night a while back and I was the lucky projectionist that eve. I wasn't going to watch it because I'm not a fan of torture horror, but in the end I watched it--mostly because I wanted to hear the crowd's reaction...which was pretty great.
Read More...Notes from the attic: Star Wars
We watched the original Star Wars Trilogy for the holidays in our movie club ("R2D2, we wish you a merry Christmas"). Which is the thing to do apparently: A certain dude-centric cable channel was having a Star Wars marathon New Year's Day. Anyway, volumes have already been put forth about the adulteration of the Trilogy […]
Read More...We're Partners in Education
We've been education partners with with kids at Robert E. Lee Elementary (aka Lee Expressive Arts Elementary) for some time now (as part of the Partners in Education program). This means we visit the school for fun art projects and the kids get to display their artwork in our Community Gallery and take sweet field-trips […]
Read More...Notes from the attic: Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?
We recently watched Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? (1966) in our movie club and I was going to mention Roman Polanski's Carnage, another film based on a play about two contentious couples, but it looks like we're not getting Carnage after all. So it goes. Though, with all respect for Carnage, it's probably a hushed […]

Read More...True/False Film Fest March 1-4
Yes, that's right, True/False is just around the corner. Get your passes now! "The more festivals I attend, the more my (already) intense love and appreciation of True/False grows. When people ask why I love it so much, I say "because it's a festival, in the truest sense of the word. It's a celebration... of […]
Read More...Notes from the attic: Álex de la Iglesia
We have an employees movie club here at Hittsville where we explore the wide world of film--from foreign art-house to trash cinema, from forgotten classics to current blockbusters, we watch it all. And, yes, sometimes it turns into Mystery Science Theater 3000 (especially if Steph shows up). So, in order to share what we've watched […]
Read More...The Artist opens January 20
We are happy to announce The Artist is coming to Ragtag. Steven Rea of the Philadelphia Inquirer says, "Strangely, wonderfully, The Artist feels as bold and innovative a moviegoing experience as James Cameron's bells-and-whistles Avatar did a couple of years ago. Retro becomes nuevo. Quaint becomes cool."
