You read right folks, we're back, & we're badder than ever.
Monday, November 7: Spy Games
7PM: Modesty Blaise [1966]: Monica Vitti plays the titular (I've always wanted to say that) super spy, based on the British mod newspaper comic of the same name. With Terence Stamp and Dirk Bogarde.
9PM: Danger Diabolik [1968]: Also based on a mod comic (this time Italian), only with Mario Bava (!!!!!!) directing. Stylish, sexy & very true to the source, this is required viewing.
Monday, November 14: Val Lewton Night Part 2
7PM: The Leopard Man [1943] -- One of the lesser known Lewton horrors, this one involves a lounge singer named Kiki & a leopard on a leash who gets loose. Directed by Jacques Tourneur, who also helmed the original "Cat People" & "I Walked With a Zombie".
9PM: Ghost Ship [1943] -- Weird male power dynamics dominate this claustrophobic horror film set on a boat. Is the Captain crazy, or is there something even more sinister at work?
Monday, November 21: Rape Revenge -- BIG DISCLAIMER: Do not come if the subject of rape upsets you. I'm serious, these are not pleasant movies.
7PM: I Spit On Your Grave [1978] -- The "classic". Sleazy, misogynist exploitation, oddly considered "feminist" because most of the film is spent with the girl hunting and brutally (!) killing the men who assaulted her. However, this ignores the first 45 mins of her being humiliated and assaulted.
9PM: Irreversible [2002] -- From French "bad boy" director Gaspar Noe, this movie has been known to destroy souls. Even Sinister Sam's. Starring real life couple Monica Belucci & Vicent Cassel.
Monday, November 28: Maniac Mansion
7PM: Maniac [1980] -- One of the classics of the stalk & slash genre, this one's considered better than average (although a far cry from "Henry: Portrait of a Serial Killer", which we'll be screening next month) & psychologically compelling.
9PM: Oily Maniac [1976] -- Completely bizarre Shaw Brothers monster movie about a guy who transforms into a slime monster & attacks women. Extremely exploitive (yes Bob, there are boobies) with a rubber oil monster. What's not to love about this movie?!?
Also, a very special presentation this Saturday beginning at 7PM:
Visionary Man: The Films of Uwe Boll
7PM: House of the Dead
9PM: Alone in the Dark
Bring all of the booze you can safely carry & any psychotropics you feel like ingesting. I'll print off directions for the drinking game online.
Pop fund will be in effect (please let me know if you want something other than Pepsi) & RSVP please.
