First Trip To The Bengies in 2009 - Memorial Day Dusk To Dawn Show

Matthew and I went to the Bengies for the first time this year for the annual Memorial day all-night show. We both made it through until the sun came up and D. played the national anthem to end the show. We evening stayed awake through "Obsessed".

The Line-Up:

Coraline - Really good and the best movie of the night. In the vein of "Nightmare Before Christmas" and "The Corpse Bride" but better. And weirder. 4 Timmyheads.


Star Trek - Not your father's Star Trek my ass. A steaming pile of lameness. The only cutting edge thing about it was Eric Bana as the Bad Ass and his summary execution (not shown) of the captain of the Kelvin. Matthew liked it though.


Obsessed - Another winner from Beyonce (remember "Goldmember"). Only lots, and lots of T&A could have saved this one.


Knowing - Pretty good but kind of weak towards the end. Reading up about this one is what convinced me to go to the all-night show. Real Sci-Fi, not "Gossip Girl" in space.

Tradition! Dusk 'til Dawn ALL NITE Show

Original email message from the Bengies Drive-In

Dear GREAT Patrons of the Bengies Drive-In Theatre,

We are NOW OPEN on FRIDAY, SATURDAY & SUNDAY!  

DUSK   'til   DAWN    

THIS weekend is Memorial Day weekend, and our 53rd* ANNUAL all night shows in the drive-in tradition! 
We WILL be open all 3 nights BUT the Dusk to Dawn shows will ONLY play on Saturday and Sunday.

(53rd*Ken noted, this is actually the 53rd, BECAUSE the Bengies did not open until JUNE of 1956, so there was no Memorial day show. The Labor Day weekend D to D will be the 54th in this 53rd Anniversary Year of the Bengies.) 

3 of the 4 titles ARE in W I D E  S C R E E N, showing  EDGE TO EDGE on the biggest theatre screen in the *USA!*  Saturday and Sunday is the traditional...

DUSK   'til   DAWN  

"STAR TREK" rated PG13, is HOLDING, because it is way too much fun, but mostly because we have seen an increase in interest both from fans who wish to see it again, BUT AMAZINGLY, from the folks who were never Star Trek Fans.  It is important to note here, that you do not have to be a fan or even ever had an interest in "Star Trek" to enjoy this fine feature.

Showing all 3 nights with the VERY fast paced "STAR TREK" is the top rated thriller, "OBSESSED" rated PG13. An unhinged stalker  threatens to destroy a happy family and career.

We will begin the ALL NIGHT program (Saturday into Sunday, and Sunday into Memorial Day Monday) with the HIGHLY ACCLAIMED, one-of-a-kind animated feature "CORALINE" rated PG.

The program will also include a sci-fi thriller, "KNOWING" rated PG13.  Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, says: "...among the best science-fiction films I've seen..."
