Take-Up Productions and The Trylon Microcinema’s month-long celebration of the career of one-man effects powerhouse Ray Harryhausen continues this weekend with two more science fiction  demi-classics: the fine 1964 adaptation of H. G. Wells’ The First Men in the Moon (Harryhausen’s only film in ‘scope) and the monster-from-Venus mini-epic 20 Million Miles to Earth.  Both films were directed by Nathan Juran, who also helmed the fantasy classic The 7th Voyage of Sinbad.   Showtimes are as follows:

First Men in the Moon
Friday: 7:00pm, 9:00pm
Saturday: 7:00pm, 9:00pm

20 Million Miles to Earth (HD)
Sunday: 5:20pm, 7:00pm

Tickets are $8.00, and can be purchased (cash-only) at the door or in advance online.  For the complete schedule for this series and advance ticketing information, click here.

The Trylon Microcinema is located at 3258 Minnehaha Ave S in Wtf-Film’s own Minneapolis, MN, and is the home of Take-Up Productions.

The Trylon Microcinema, an intimate 50-seat house located at 3258 Minnehaha Ave. S in Wtf-Film’s own Minneapolis, MN, is quickly becoming the most exciting film venue in the city for eclectic cinema aficionados.  This past Halloween brought a month-long tribute to the cinema of David Cronenberg, for instance.  Films are screened in either 35mm or HD (non-film screenings are denoted on the schedule).

Starting this weekend, as lead-up to the big-budget remake of Clash of the Titans, the Trylon is hosting a retrospective of the special effects films of Ray Harryhausen, from his early days toiling on low-budget science fiction programmers to his heyday in the mid-60s.  This weekend brings a classic double feature, the epic fantasy Jason and the Argonauts and the ultimate in 50s alien invasion cinema Earth vs. The Flying Saucers. Screening times are listed below:

Jason and the Argonauts
Friday, 05 March: 7:00pm, 9:00pm
Saturday, 06 March: 7:00pm, 9:00pm

Earth vs. The Flying Saucers (HD)
Sunday, 07 March: 7:00pm, 9:00pm

Cash is accepted at the door, or tickets can be purchased in advance online (see the link below).  Seating is limited, so I suggest planning ahead (and yes, I realize I posted this too late for anyone to act on the shows tonight – next week’s announcement will be more timely).
