Quintron and Miss Pussycat

Sun-Ray Cinema — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 23:34:09 +0000

Of all the jam packed month of April has to offer this show is one of my top picks!

In order to sing their praises effectively we present as our guest blogger for the day Matthew Moyer.

Mr. Quintron and Miss Pussycat have always been ill-served by rockclubs. Their music, their vision, their [...]

Oh Sweet April

Sun-Ray Cinema — Thu, 04 Apr 2013 22:58:52 +0000

It has been so much fun to work with Catering by Liz, Blue Buddha and Community Loaves on the menu for our upcoming GORGE OF THE RINGS.

Wait, you haven’t heard?

On April 13 Sun-Ray will screen all three Lord of the Rings films with an [...]

April!

Sun-Ray Cinema — Tue, 02 Apr 2013 15:03:59 +0000

Since opening Sun-Ray Cinema in December of 2011 we have weathered the ebbs and flows of the Hollywood release schedule, mixing first run blockbusters with smaller independent films within the limitations of a single screen theatre, a model that was wildly popular in 1927 when the cinema was originally built but become an anomaly since [...]

13 Things a Movie Theater Employee Won’t Tell You *(and 13 Things Sun-Ray’s owners will)

Find out behind the scenes info about your favorite place to see the next blockbuster.

I just stumbled upon this “expose” from Readers Digest. It’s common, and sometimes justifiable, to grouse about your local theater chain but I [...]

Naughty and Nice Xmas

Sun-Ray Cinema — Sat, 15 Dec 2012 17:24:51 +0000

We are full of Christmas spirit at Sun-Ray, and maybe some Christmas angst too. In the next couple of weeks we have opportunities for those with all kinds of sensibilities to come by and celebrate in the hap-happiest theater of all.

December 23 WHITE CHRISTMAS (1954)

North Florida Veg Fest and Kung Fu

If you’re craving some of our signature riNOTta (vegan ricotta cheese) or Queso for your own at home cooking experiments visit the Community Loaves table at the Northeast Florida Veg Fest in Riverside Park this Saturday, November 3.

Bye Bye Film

Sun-Ray Cinema — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 18:30:33 +0000

We picked a really funny time to open a movie theatre.

Maybe not “funny ha ha,” but film exhibition sure is in a strange place here at the end of 2012. This business is on the crest of a big change and many small cinemas are in serious danger of being left behind.

I [...]

Sleepwalk With Me One Week Only

Sun-Ray Cinema — Sun, 02 Sep 2012 20:22:43 +0000

I’m psyched we’re playing Sleepwalk With Me. I started listening to comedian Mike Birbiglia on This American Life when I was having my own trouble with sleeping. My sleepwalking got only so exciting as turning on the teakettle in the middle of the night and the really fun experience of getting [...]

Movies for kids. And other people who like fun movies.

Sun-Ray Cinema — Sun, 10 Jun 2012 20:25:54 +0000

We hoped our Kids Series would get some attention but I don’t think we expected it to inspire this super awesome painting from my new favorite customer, Lars Lindquist.

A print is hanging in our poster case outside the theatre, and a limited number will be available for purchase starting [...]
