Celebrate the '70s at Cinema 12 Theatre April 10, 2010

To mark the 40th anniversary of the opening of Cinema 12 at 100 Besinger Drive in Carpentersville, IL, Classic Cinemas will be showcasing a “Blast from the Past” series of movies. In 1970, the cinema opened with two auditoriums. When Classic Cinemas began operation in 1990, the theatre had grown to five screens. In the subsequent years and through several additions, the theatre has expanded to today’s 12 screens. The original auditorium still seats nearly 500 but its shadowbox screen has been replaced with a BIG 50 ft. screen, one of the largest in the area. The “Blast from the Past” movie series will be presented on Saturdays and Sundays beginning April 10th and continue through April 25, 2010.

Starting Saturday, April 10th at noon and Sunday, April 11th at 7:30 p.m., Cinema 12 will be showing All the Presidents Men. Two young Washington Post reporters, played by Robert Redford and Dustin Hoffman, uncover the White House link that led to the Watergate scandal.
