Spend Valentine's Day with Your True Love: Movies

MovieJawn Movie Mail: the ticket to your next favorite watch

Greetings Old Sport!

Looking for some Valentine’s Day plans? Whether you are with somebody special or flying solo, the perfect place to spend the annual celebration of love is at the movie theater. When the projector’s light hits the silver screen our cinematic friends come to life and remind us that we are not alone.

If you are local to the Philadelphia area there are some great cinematic events happening this weekend. On Saturday, join your fellow body horror lovers for a screening of the 1999 David Cronenberg overlooked sci-fi (dare we say romantical?) classic, eXistenZ hosted by special guest, New York Film Critic and author, Violet Lucca in celebration of her recent book release, David Cronenberg: Clinical Trials. Violet will be on hand for a Q&A and to sign books after the film. SAVE on your ticket to the event when you use code: PFS@TROUTFARM, tickets available here

Our resident Old Sport, Rosalie Kicks chatted with Violet Lucca about the event and her book, check it out here.

Our friendly MovieJawn staff is pleased as punch to help you find your next favorite motion picture playing now at a movie palace near you!
