See June Squibb in Scarlett Johansson’s Directorial Debut!

June Squibb is Eleanor Morgenstein, a 94-year-old woman who moves from Florida to New York to live with her daughter. Eleanor wanders into a support group and shares a story that brings her unwanted attention. This attracts Nina (Erin Kellyman), a 19-year-old journalism student who becomes Eleanor’s friend. Things get out of hand, forcing Eleanor to confront the truth.

“Eleanor the Great” is Scarlett Johansson’s directorial debut. June Squibb has previously been in “About Schmidt” (2002), “Nebraska” (2013), and “Thelma” (2024). The film also stars Chiwetel Ejiofor (“12 Years a Slave” (2013)).

“Eleanor the Great” is playing now at Rialto Cinemas Cerrito. Tickets are available online or at the box office. Click here for more information. We really hope you come to see this special film.

More announcements will be coming soon. See you at the movies!

The previous message about “The Gold Rush” had a typo. One of the dates was listed as September 19. It should have been September 29. The three dates are September 27, 28, and 29, all at 11:00 am.

Sorry about that!

See Charlie Chapin seek his fortune in the Klondike!

Rialto Cinemas Cerrito is celebrating Silent Movie Day with “The Gold Rush” (1925), starring and directed by Charlie Chaplin. In this comedy masterpiece, The Little Tramp goes to the Klondike to try to strike it rich in the Alaska gold rush of 1896. The movie features some of Chaplin’s most famous set pieces, including the dance of the dinner rolls and the meal of a boiled shoe. In 1992, “The Gold Rush” was selected for the National Film Registry as being “culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant.” The Cerrito will be showing a new 4K restoration of this great film.

“The Gold Rush” will be shown at 11 am on Saturday, September 27, Sunday, September 28, and Monday, September 29. Tickets are available on-line or at the box office. Click here for more information.

Thanks, and see you at the movies!
