Somehow, we called it last month when describing the Time Traveling Cinema<\/strong> show presented by C-U Confidential<\/strong> and Psychic Joker Entertainment<\/strong><\/a> as a program of \u201cmad, mad movies!\u201d We embody the hyperbole later tonight, Friday, May 25<\/strong>, beginning 10 p.m.<\/strong> at SoDo Theatre<\/a>, 114 S. Neil St., Champaign, IL<\/strong>, when we unleash an eclectic show characterizing the very nature of PJE and your friends here at the Secret MICRO-FILM Headquarters<\/strong>. Intrigued?<\/p>\n

Starting this TTC, we plan to launch each show with an hour-long mix of short films, music videos, and Webisodes. (The more locally-created material we can cram into the opening cornucopia, the better!) This outing will feature the creepy Lovecraft<\/strong> ode THE WINDOW INTO TIME<\/strong><\/a> from Tangeant Productions<\/strong> of Urbana<\/strong>, two more adventures in the mash-up series NINJA THE MISSION FORCE<\/strong><\/a> by Dark Maze Studios<\/strong> of Champaign<\/strong>, and the debut of a seriocomic serial called THE BLACK KNIGHT OF SIOUX CITY<\/strong><\/a> created by Iowa<\/strong>-to-Charleston<\/strong> transplant Braden Boe<\/strong>, who also directed the New Art Film Festival<\/strong> selection A WAR FOR II<\/strong>. We\u2019ll even sneak you a peek at Tangeant\u2019s upcoming sci-fi drama, HEARTSHOT<\/strong>, starring a bevy of C-U movie regulars including Mike Trippiedi, Steve Keen, Cara Maurizi, Bill Kephart<\/strong>, and Chris Lukeman<\/strong>!<\/p>\n

After this contemporary madness, we\u2019ll break briefly so you may commiserate with your fellow Cinema Time Travelers and raid (politely) the snack bar before we thrust you into a black-and-white age of old-school movie magic! Several vintage shorts by the likes of Thomas Edison<\/strong> and Harry Houdini<\/strong> will amaze you before the great Vincent Price<\/strong> makes a return TTC PD appearance in the rare horror drama THE MAD MAGICIAN<\/strong>. Can you guess which role he plays? Can you afford to miss it, then?!?<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re looking for a strange and wonderful way to launch your holiday weekend, come see if the TTC fits the bill! We hope this community micro-cinema concept set in a clean, safe, and fully-equipped environment will encourage you to talk up our \u201cworst kept secret\u201d in Champaign movie entertainment to your friends and neighbors!<\/p>\n
