THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION Screening This Weekend Midnights at The Tivoli

THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION plays this weekend (April 26th and 27th) at the Tivoli (6350 Delmar Boulevard)as part of their Reel Late at the Tivoli Midnight series.

But what is it about THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION that touches so many people? It’s not hard to see why so many people avoided it during its theatrical run. An innocent man is sent to a grim prison, only to slowly but surely begin to buck the system. It’s hardly the stuff of movie matinees. And, although audiences were not particularly averse to ultra-violence (this was the year of PULP FICTION after all), prison movies in general are considered to be more realistic, and therefore harder to stomach, than films with a more comic-book approach. But today, you’d be hard-pressed to find anyone who hasn’t seen it and very few who don’t love it. Now, you’ll have the chance to see it again in all its big-screen glory when it plays at the Tivoli this weekend!
