Join the Washington DC Sunday Night Film Club this Sunday, Nov 7th at 3:15 pm for Monsters at the Landmark E Street Cinema . Look for #mce_temp_url# Brian wearing an Avenue Q T-Shirt in the theatre lobby about 15 minutes before the film. As always, after the film we will descend on a local establishment for dinner/drinks/discussion.
In 2009 NASA discovered the possibility of alien life within our solar system. A probe was launched to collect samples from Europa, one of Jupiter’s moons, but it crashed upon re-entry over Central America. Soon after, new life forms began to appear there and half of Mexico was quarantined as an Infected Zone. Today, the American and Mexican military still struggle to contain the extraterrestrial “creatures.” After six years, they’re no longer aliens—they’re residents. Our story begins when a U.S. photojournalist Andrew Kaulder (Scoot McNairy, In Search of a Midnight Kiss) agrees to escort a shaken American tourist Sam Wynden (Whitney Able) through the Infected Zone in Mexico to the safety of the U.S. border. Written and directed by Gareth Edwards, the sci-fi thriller Monsters has been widely acclaimed at film festivals worldwide.
