Sea View Theatre

Michael will be playing this week at the Sea View Theatre on THURSDAY ONLY! Sea View Theatre is kicking off its new Summer Thursday Screenings of Box Office and Festival Hits with one of the biggest movie events of the year: MICHAEL. Directed by Antoine Fuqua and written by John Logan, MICHAEL traces the rise of Michael Jackson from his early years with the Jackson 5 to his emergence as the King of Pop, capturing the drive, talent, pressure, and extraordinary artistry behind one of the most influential performers of all time. At the center of the film is Jaafar Jackson, Michael Jackson’s real-life nephew, in a breakout performance that has become one of the major talking points of the film. Jaafar doesn’t just imitate Michael — he channels the movement, the vulnerability, the precision, the voice, and the electricity that made Michael Jackson a once-in-a-generation performer. His performance gives the film its heart and its charge, turning familiar songs and legendary moments into something newly alive on screen. The film also features a powerhouse supporting cast, including Colman Domingo as Joe Jackson, Nia Long as Katherine Jackson, Miles Teller, Laura Harrier, and Mike Myers, bringing dramatic weight to a story filled with fame, family, ambition, pressure, and undeniable musical genius. Critics and audiences have been talking about the scale of the production, the musical sequences, and Jaafar Jackson’s star-making performance — but the real reason to see MICHAEL at the Sea View Theatre is simple: this is a movie built for the big screen. The songs, the dancing, the costumes, the stage recreations, and the shared audience energy make it more than a biopic. It is a theatrical event. Join them at they launch the series with MICHAEL — the box-office hit, audience favorite, and big-screen musical event of the summer — at the Sea View Theatre. Showings – select to order tickets: Thu, Jun 18th, 7pm @ Sea View Theatre (https://seaviewtheatre.eventive.org/schedule/6a2ae9de97fe45faaed9df34)

Obsession will be playing this week at the Sea View Theatre. Before it became one of the year’s biggest breakouts, OBSESSION exploded out of the Toronto International Film Festival, where it premiered in the legendary Midnight Madness section and immediately became a festival sensation. Now audiences are proving the festival buzz was real. OBSESSION has shocked the industry with a massive audience response, an A- CinemaScore exit-poll grade, and a huge Rotten Tomatoes audience score — the kind of word-of-mouth that turns a low-budget discovery into a box-office phenomenon. What started as a genre sleeper has become a full-blown theatrical hit, growing week after week as audiences tell their friends: you have to see this with a crowd. Written and directed by rising filmmaker Curry Barker, OBSESSION takes a classic “be careful what you wish for” idea and twists it into something creepy, funny, bloody, and deeply unsettling. After a shy music-store employee makes a wish for his longtime crush to love him back, he gets exactly what he asked for — and quickly discovers that forced love comes with a horrifying price. Critics have called the film “a fairy tale from hell,” “deeply unsettling,” and “one of those movies” that gets under your skin and stays there. RogerEbert.com praised it as “consistently” twisted, noting that Barker “pulls nothing,” while other reviews have singled out Inde Navarrette’s terrifying, star-making performance and Barker’s ability to balance dread, dark humor, and shocking horror.
