Central Cinema Upcoming eventshttps://centralcinema865.com/Knoxville's Neighborhood MoviehouseMalcolm Xhttps://centralcinema865.com/production/malcolm-x-2/Malcolm XSpike Lee's momentous, crowd-pleasing biopic of the controversial Civil Rights leader screens ONE NIGHT ONLY as part of our "Hard To Be Free" July film series, closing out a three-night run of American epics with JFK and THE NEW WORLD. (It is our pleasure to welcome local Black-owned bookshop The Bottom to introduce the film and make some relevant titles available as part of a small pop-up sale.) Serving an extended prison sentence, small-time gangster Malcolm Little (Denzel Washington) is transformed by the teachings of cult figure Elijah Muhammad and gains rapid prominence within the Nation of Islam upon his release. As his profile grows against the backdrop of the Civil Rights Movement, the man rechristened "Malcolm X" finds himself beset by white supremacy, religious strife, and the ever-shifting status quo of the 1960s. "One of the great screen biographies... this is an extraordinary life, and Spike Lee has told it in an extraordinary film." - Roger Ebert]]>Boundhttps://centralcinema865.com/production/bound/BoundJoin us as SoKno Pride presents the Wachowski Sisters' electric 1996 debut, underseen in the post-PULP FICTION crime movie shuffle but now recognized as a sapphic classic of neo-noir fun. Sparks fly when Violet (Jennifer Tilly) sets eyes on Corky (Gina Gershon) in an elevator. Violet is the girlfriend of a violent gangster, Caesar (Joe Pantoliano), while Corky is fresh out of prison and doing renovations on the apartment next door. As the two women launch into a passionate love affair, they assemble an intricate plan for Violet to escape from Caesar, with two million dollars of the mob's money -- but the important part is to make it out alive. "One of those movies that works you up, wrings you out and leaves you gasping. It's pure cinema, spread over several genres." - Roger Ebert]]>Maddie's Secrethttps://centralcinema865.com/production/maddies-secret/MADDIE’S SECRETCentral Cinema is pleased to present an exclusive engagement of John Early’s singular directorial debut, followed by pre-recorded celebrity Q&A featurettes Thursday (with Julio Torres) and Saturday (with Sarah Sherman).

Individual tickets available below, or click here for a discounted double feature pass! Gregory (Clint Howard, EVILSPEAK) is the local ice cream man. And all he wants to do is sell the neighborhood children some ice cream treats. Unfortunately, the adults disrespect him and the kids fear him. So, as any recently released mental patient would do, Gregory begins brutally murdering anyone who prevents him from having a happy, happy, happy day! The most essential 1990s horrorblast ever made by the director of EDWARD PENISHANDS, ICE CREAM MAN is an absurd, gory, and hilarious direct-to-video slasher, punctuated by Clint Howard’s unleashed performance and featuring Olivia Hussey (BLACK CHRISTMAS), David Naughton (AN AMERICAN WEREWOLF IN LONDON), and Jan-Michael Vincent (AIRWOLF). Fully uncut and restored from its original 35mm camera negative! (AGFA)]]>
