DRAG ME TO HELL, a thrilling terror of a tale from horror veteran Sam Raimi opens at the Angelika’s sister theater - the Village East Cinema - on Friday, May 29th. Following a positive response at its SXSW screening this year, the film is expected to garner the same enthusiasm from audiences come May.
BRIEF SYNOPSIS: Christine (Alison Lohman), a young loan officer competing for a promotion, denies her elderly client (Lorna Raver) a third mortgage extension. Her distraught client enacts her revenge with a fiery curse determined to drag Christine’s soul to hell.
The Angelika was happy to chat with director Monty Miranda & lead actor Spencer Berger of SKILLS LIKE THIS - opens this Friday at the Angelika NYC!
Q: SKILLS LIKE THIS has been a hit at film festivals around the world - can you tell me about that experience? Monty: The festivals provided an opportunity to see amazing films that deserve a much wider audience. So many people (who submitted films) have “day jobs” and are really struggling – it’s impressive to see their work when they can’t necessarily do it full time. As for SKILLS, we were concerned that our story wouldn’t translate across the pond, but the response was extremely positive, even to the subtle bits of Americana.
Spencer: Neither of us speaks Polish, but apparently the jokes killed. We still have no idea how they translated, but the interpreter assured us they were perceived as intended…

It’s now official - the Angelika has it all - indie flicks, hand shakes with award-winning directors and, (you guessed it) the Jonas Brothers. This past Saturday the brothers were spotted enjoying some pre-concert downtime at the Angelika Film Center Houston, taking in the 9:30 p.m. show of Watchmen along with hundreds of other moviegoers. With a little helpful maneuvering from management, they were able to slip in and out of the theater without creating a scene.
Following the recent release of JONAS BROTHERS: THE 3D CONCERT EXPERIENCE, the guys were in Houston over the weekend for their concert appearance at RodeoHouston on Sunday afternoon.
