*Update* Thanks to everyone that came out this summer - we had a great time! Don't forget about the McLovin ID & Sex And The City red carpet photos posted on our Flickr account. We'll see you again next year. Cheers!
Welcome to the official website of Moonlight Cinema, presented by the Redhook Ale Brewery. Hosted in our outdoor grassy amphitheater, known as The Bowl, this summertime event has become a unique and memorable annual tradition for residents of the surrounding Seattle area. On Thursday evenings from mid July through August, crowds gather under the stars to watch their favorite movies projected on to a 55ft inflatable screen, while enjoying some of the finest brew available in the Northwest. If you've yet to attend a Moonlight Cinema evening we invite you and your friends to come see what all the hype is about!

National Lampoon's Vacation
Thur. July 23, 2009 PG-13
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
The first film in the Vacation comedy franchise stars Chevy Chase as Clark Griswold, an ad exec who becomes consumed with taking his family cross-country to Wally World, a California amusement park. Less a vacation than a descent into a peculiarly American kind of hell, the Griswolds suffer through an endless series of catastrophes, culminating in a run-in with the law.
Vacation Giveaway!
This is your chance to win your very own roadtrip summer vacation! Before the movie we'll be raffling off an overnight stay in a Family Suite at The Great Wolf Lodge - the awesome waterpark resort in Centralia.

Tropic Thunder
Thur. July 30, 2009 R
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
A film crew is in Southeast Asia filming a Vietnam-war memoir. It's early in the shooting, but they're already behind schedule and over budget. On the day an accident befalls the novice director, the cast and crew are attacked by a gang of poppy-growing local drug dealers, except the cast and crew don't realize these aren't actors who are stalking them. The thugs kidnap Tugg Speedman, an actor whose star seems on the decline, and it's up to the rest of the ragtag team to band together long enough to attempt his rescue. But will Tugg want to leave?

Superbad
Thur. August 06, 2009 R
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
Seth and Evan are best friends, inseparable, navigating the last weeks of high school. Usually shunned by the popular kids, Seth and Evan luck into an invitation to a party, and spend a long day, with the help of their nerdy friend Fogell, trying to score enough alcohol to lubricate the party and inebriate two girls, Jules and Becca, so they can kick-start their sex lives and go off to college with a summer full of experience and new skills. Their quest is complicated by Fogell's falling in with two inept cops who both slow and assist the plan. If they do get the liquor to the party, what then? Is sex the only rite of passage at hand?

The Big Lebowski
Thur. August 13, 2009 R (21+ only)
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
When "The Dude" Lebowski is mistaken for a millionaire Lebowski, two thugs urinate on his rug to coerce him into paying a debt he knows nothing about. While attempting to gain recompense for the ruined rug from his wealthy counterpart, he accepts a one-time job with high pay-off. He enlists the help of his bowling buddy, Walter, a gun-toting Jewish-convert with anger issues. Deception leads to more trouble, and it soon seems that everyone from porn empire tycoons to nihilists want something from The Dude.
Costume Contest!
Has anyone ever told you that you look like The Dude, or maybe even Walter...or maybe even Bunny for that matter? Well Lucky Strike Lanes in Bellevue is setting up two grand prize winners with VIP Redhook Bowling Packages for the best male and female Big Lebowski costumes. It's kind of like Halloween in August. The VIP Package includes 2hrs of bowling for your group of up 15 guests, appetizers and Redhook draft ales! The Dude abides.
Winners will be based on crowd response.

Jaws
Thur. August 20, 2009 PG
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
This 1975 Spielberg classic is set in the beautiful quaint beach resort of Amity Island, where something hideous, something so deliciously evil has vanquished the tranquility and shattered the peace. Just when they thought it was safe to go back in the water, it struck again! Now, something must be done, before it returns to feed. With town Mayor Larry Vaugn determined to keep the beaches open for the Summer Season, its up to Police Chief Brody, marine biologist Matt Hooper and colorful fisherman Quint to hunt down the White Death and put an end to the bloodshed. They are going to need a bigger boat.

Sex and the City
Thur. August 27, 2009 R (21+ only)
Doors open at 6pm, movie begins at dusk
After moving in together in an impossibly beautiful New York apartment, Carrie Bradshaw and Mr. Big make a rather arbitrary decision to get married. The wedding itself proves to be anything but a hasty affair--the guest list quickly blooms from 75 to 200 guests, and Carrie's simple, label-less wedding gown gives way to an enormous creation that makes her look like a gigantic cream puff. Disaster! Charlotte still has the unrealized hope of getting pregnant. Samantha is finding a loving, committed relationship more grueling than she could have imagined. Miranda unwittingly lets her own unhappiness spoil Carrie's. Will this drama fest end with the happy ending you've been waiting for?!
L a d i e s N i g h t

Gates to The Bowl open at 6pm and seating is on a first come, first serve basis. Bring a blanket or your low-back chairs to save your spot. Sometimes the viewing area can fill quickly so we encourage guests to snuggle up and share your extra space with late arrivers. If it looks like you're hogging too much grass or your chairs are blocking a group's view, our emcee will probably kindly ask you to slide on over. |
