D.o.S. Schedule for December

Here it is kids, the December line up:

Monday Dec 5/05: Verhoeven Night Part 3

7pm: Katie Tippel [1975] -- Poor girl Keetje works her way up the social ladder from prostitute to the wife of a wealthy socialist in turn of the century Holland. Starring Monique van de Ven (Turkish Delight) & Rutger Hauer.

9pm: Soldier of Orange [1977] -- A group of middle-class college boys join the Dutch Resistance during World War II looking for an adventure. Featuring Rutger Hauer at his rugged best.


Monday Dec 12/05: Mech-Attack

7pm: Robot Jox [1990] -- Another one of those lost action classics from the early nineties. While not quite up there with "Robocop 2", it is directed by Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) and it features a Jeffrey Combs cameo. And giant mech-robots!!!!

9pm: Returner [2002] -- You've seen the trailer, now see the movie. Fairly standard Japanese Sci-Fi with lots of CG and of course, giant robots.


Friday Dec 16/05: 3rd Annual Xmassacre!!!
At Blim (17th @ Main). Door 7pm, Film at 8pm. Tell your friends!!!

Monday Dec 19/05: Horror Sequels Worth Another Look

7pm: The Amityville II: The Possession [1982] -- More of a prequel than a sequel, The Possession deals with the house's previous tenants and the evil spirits that possessed the son and led him to kill his family.
9pm: The Exorcist III [1990] -- Directed by William Blatty (who wrote the screenplay for original Exorcist as well as the novel), from his novel "Legion". Sadly, the studio was expecting more of a straight-up sequel & tacked on an exorcism in the final moments of the film causing some serious continuity issues.
