Come out to Ortine in their backyard for another wonderful movie screening. Kings County Cinema Society is winding down their residency at this beautiful Prospect Heights spot, so come on out if you haven’t made it yet. This week Tobes is hosting Forbidden Planet (1956, 98min), the touchstone sci-fi classic of the 1950’s with Leslie Nielsen (The Naked Gun) and Robby the Robot leading an expedition to investigate an abandoned colony of settlers 17 light years from earth. Outstanding effects and hilariously outdated gadgetry at every turn. MGM’s first foray into big-budget sci-fi, director Fred M. Wilcox’s epic combined then-state-of-the-art special effects with a story borrowed from Shakespeare’s “The Tempest”
