In keeping with the theme of our June 4 MonSFFA meeting this weekend, our scheduled early-bird installment of Sunday Sci-Fi Cinema Matinée will spotlight movies featuring dragons!

Show up early to participate in the vote on which one  of five available films we’ll collectively discuss and review! And, we’ll preface the chosen movie with a newsreel and cartoon–in theme!–just as was offered before the main feature at movie houses in decades past!

The chosen film opens at about noon, so show up maybe an hour before that to also catch the newsreel, cartoon, and other cool, fun and interesting material!

We’ve collected several recent “High Concept” movies for inclusion in this edition of Sunday Sci-Fi Cinema Matinée.

What is a “High Concept” movie? One the premise of which can usually be summed up in a single, brief phrase or sentence! These flicks often blend genres and take a decidedly off-beat, cool, unique or particularly interesting angle in telling their story.

Be advised, however, that sometimes budget and talent can fall short of ambition, so choose wisely!

We’ve also selected a couple of early-1960s B-movies to round out your choices, including a Kaiju classic!

And all five films on offer, of course, feature a dragon, or dragons!
