VERTIGO

SPECIAL SCREENINGS
BLOOD AND BLACK LACE (1964)
In this movie Mario Bava created one of the most influential
films ever made an Italian classic that would spearhead the
giallo genre, provide a prototype for the slasher movie, and have a
huge effect on filmmakers as diverse as Dario Argento and Martin
Scorsese. Newly restored from the original camera negative and
presented here in its original, uncut Italian form, this screening
will allow fans to see the movie afresh and offers newcomers the
ideal introduction to a major piece of cult filmmaking.
Mondo + Chiller:
THE HOUSE ON HAUNTED HILL (1959)
Featuring limited Mondo giveaways and Chiller surprises!
This film featured stars both on screen and off. Ever reliant Vincent Price stars in one of his most memorable roles, but the real
star of the show is director William Castle and his promotional
stunt Emergo, in which a plastic skeleton was flown over the
audience in the theater during key moments of the film. His
creativity and inventiveness took sometimes mediocre movies and
made them genuine experiences. This experience is said to have
inspired Alfred Hitchcock to make his own low budget horror
film.... PSYCHO!
THE LAST NARUTO THE MOVIE (2014)
The much loved series Naruto comes to an end. Presented in
Japanese with English subtitles, the story picks up two years after
the battle between Naruto and Sasuke, in the Village Hidden
in the Leaves. Many questions will be answered and maybe our
favorite outcast will find love.
Cartoon Cereal Party: Looney Tunes Edition
Grab a kid or nine and show them the true meaning of hilarity
as we assemble the greatest collection of classic Warner Brothers
Looney Tunes ranging from the quackbusting ways of Donald
Duck to one-off wild shorts featuring holes that teleport you
through space and time. Well also provide you with, what can
only be described as a horribly irresponsible amount of cereal for
you to consume where the only limit to balancing your morning
breakfast is yourself with an ALL-YOU-CAN-EAT cereal bar!
LOST SOUL: THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEYS ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU (2014)
David Gregory sorts through decades of rumors and myth to
reveal the true behind-the-scenes story of the films troubled
history. Many of the key players in the production, including
Stanley, Robert Shaye, Edward R. Pressman, Fairuza Balk and
members of Stan Winstons effects team, present their sides of the
story. The interviews reveal that the film was plagued by production mishaps, warring egos, and numerous other problems, both
large and small. It truly must be seen to be believed.

she will not outlive her daughter and must find her daughter a

documentary traces this process through the story of a wonderfully quirky and deeply connected mother-daughter duo. The

the incandescent Audrey Hepburn as Eliza Doolittle and the
debonair Rex Harrison (star of the original Broadway version)

like a lady. This classic adaptation of the musical, based on
George Bernard Shaws Pygmalion, sparkles with life and
memorable music, and in spite of a little rain in Spain, youre
guaranteed to walk out of the theater feeling absolutely loverly.

whole new level. This movie is pure robot-fighting destruction
between Dinobots, Junkions, Sharkticons, and robots THE
SIZE OF PLANETS.

TRANSFORMATION

A LITTLE CHANGE GOES A LONG WAY

VERTIGO (1958)
Although Hitchocks tale of murder and obsession is now hailed
as a masterpiece that wasnt the case when it was first released
in 1958, and its easy to see why. Filled with original ideas and
bold choices and themes VERTIGO was, for lack of a better
term, ahead of its time. Jimmy Stewart plays the films central
figure, retired detective Scottie Ferguson and his performance
is a brilliant mix of contained internal struggle and showy
melodrama. Matching Stewarts crazily perfect and bizarre turn
is the gorgeous Kim Novak, who tackles the tricky role of Scotties love interest. The great Saul Bass contributes mesmerizing
title sequences along with a trippy dream sequence and Bernard
Hermanns score is beautiful, chilling and timeless.

CLUE Quote-Along (1985)

Youve done it in the library. Youve done it in the dining room.

CLUE cards, of course) to intensify your evening at Mr. Bodys
manor. Whether youve seen this movie a thousand times or

night. And remember, Communism was just a red herring.
ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
Sing-Along (1975)
Produced for the London stage in 1973, THE ROCKY
HORROR SHOW was Richard OBriens musical tribute to
B-movies, sci-fi, 50s rock, and Hammer Horror, as filtered
through the transgressive and camp attitudes rock-opera and
punk. A huge success, the play caught the attention of 20th
Century Fox, who fast-tracked a low-budget theatrical adaptation. Featuring most of the creative team and cast of the original
production including Tim Curry reviving his much acclaimed
performance THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW
was a flop when originally released in September 1975. Now, at
long last, the anitici.....pation is over! As the cult of Rocky Horror approaches its fourth decade, the Action Packs twenty-first
century celebration of the daddy (and mommy) of interactive
movies has incorporated new breakthroughs, elusive ingredients, and that...SPARK!, which will make the RHPS experience
better than ever!

Video Vortex: BLOOD MASSACRE (1991)

Join hosts Matt Desiderio (Horror Boobs) and Mike Hunchback (Seminal Psychosis) for your monthly dose of VHS only
insanity. Bring your VHS tapes - well be set up to trade and sell
some great stuff! This month we have Don Dohlers rare slasher

Big Screen Classics: DR. NO (1962)
On January 16, 1962, Connery stepped into 007s shoes for
the first time and the movie world would never be the same.
The first Bond film received a warm welcome from American
moviegoers, who got to see Bonds memorable introduction at
a chemin de fer table, as well as the agents first encounters with
the ever-lovesick Moneypenny, the devilishly crafty designer M
and his initial brush with SPECTRE. SPECTRE member Dr.
No dwells in a private paradise on the island of Crab Key, where
he is plotting to sabotage the American space program.
AGFA Presents:
FIVE ELEMENT NINJAS (1982, 35mm)
Director Chang Cheh puts on display the talents of Cheng
Tien-chi in one of his most entertaining martial arts movies.
When evil ninjas attack and kill students at a kung fu school,
the lone survivor assembles a group to take revenge. What
results is excessive, gruesome and awe-inspiring, with fight
choreography sure to get your heart pumping.
Fangoria Presents:
THE HITCHER (1986, 35mm)
My mother told me never to do this. With one of the greatest
opening lines in horror history, young Jim Halsey (C. Thomas
Howell) opens the door of his drive-away car to John Ryder
(Rutger Hauer), and so begins an odyssey of terror through the
stark American Southwest. The remarkable feature debut of
director Robert Harmon and screenwriter Eric Red, this film is
a quintessential road-trip fear fest, as Ryder relentlessly pursues
Jim down the desert highways...not to kill him, necessarily, but
perhaps to draw the young man into his dark side.
Cinema Cocktails: MILLERS CROSSING (1990)
This film blew onto the scene in 1990, despite critical success
it was originally a financial letdown before finding its audience
on home video. This film features some of the finest acting
of its outstanding casts careers, breathtaking cinematography
and the sharp, quirky dialogue weve come to expect from a
Coen Brothers film. Double-crosses and manipulation are the
name of the game in this masterful send up to bullet-riddled
gangsters, smoking guns, and femme fatales. And if thats not
enough well have Alamo Beverage Director, Bill Norris, on
hand crafting us some custom cocktails to go with the film.
Kids Camp: THE NEVERENDING STORY (1984)
The kingdom of Fantasia is about to be wiped out, and the
enemy isnt an evil wizard or a thermonuclear device, its
Nothingness. The only thing standing in the way is the faith
of a small boy named Bastian (Barret Oliver). He discovers the
kingdom in a magical bookstore, and as he begins to read the
adventure between the covers, it becomes so real that the people
in the story know about Bastian.

Monday Night Thread Up:

POINT BREAK (1991, 35mm)
For a film that goes through such feats of testosterone surfing, sky diving, playing football on the beach to be 100%
Adrenaline, it is really about finding the perfect pair: partners,
friends, lovers and two 2! meatball sandwiches. Kathryn
Bigelow has made a career out of portraying masculinity in all
of its grit, glamor and unrequited eroticism. This may not be
the film that won her an Academy Award for Best Director, but
it is her magnum opus of excess and quite possibly the best or
only film ever made about surfing bank robbers that dress up
as ex-presidents and only live to get radical.
Girlie Night: PRIDE AND PREJUDICE (2005)
Two words: Mr. Darcy. Seriously, this description should just
end there because WHAT MORE DO YOU NEED? What
more does ANY woman need than the brooding, handsome,
totally swoon-worthy Mr. Darcy? Ok, well, Pemberly doesnt
hurt. Nor do all of the fancy balls and gorgeous dresses and
romantic intrigue. Now, you may be one of those Austen purists
who will only watch the BBC version with Colin Firth (which
is, admittedly, a masterpiece). If so, I feel the need to point out
that hello, did you miss the POINT of the story? Its not good
to be prideful OR prejudiced! Give this 2005 version a chance.
Staff Picks: TAXI DRIVER (1976)
Staff pick of Lio!
There has never been a more depraved antihero than Robert
DeNiros Travis Bickle, the cab-driving sociopath with a gun fetish and a hatred for scum. Throughout the film, he stalks New
York Citys 42nd Street district, catching matinee screenings of
porno flicks and struggling to connect with another soul in the
wretched insect-hive that was 70s Manhattan.
Vinegar Syndrome:
THE TELEPHONE BOOK (1971)
A major, forgotten comedic gem from New Yorks underground
film scene of the early 1970s, THE TELEPHONE BOOK
tells the story of Alice, a sex-obsessed hippie who falls in love
with the worlds greatest obscene phone caller. Alices quest
to find her dream lover introduces her to an avant-garde stag
filmmaker, a manipulative psychiatrist, and a lesbian housewife.
Orgies will be witnessed, the fourth wall will be broken, and
bananas will be eaten -- erotically -- as this wild, wickedly smart
satire tickles your funny bone and tests the limits of good taste.
TOUGH GUY CINEMA: THEY LIVE (1988, 35mm)
You see them on the street. You Watch them on TV. You might
even vote for one this fAll. You Think theyre people just like
you. Youre wrong. Dead wrong. Rowdy Roddy Piper stars as
a homeless drifter who stumbles aCross a box full of Hyperadvanced sunglasses that provide him with the sight to view
skinless spacemen who are subliminally enslaving humans. If
youve got a thing for WWF wrestlers acting, this movie is for
you! If you like balls-out action and explosions, this movie is for
you! If you appreciate social commentary and satire, well guess
what Mr. Smarty Pants? You have to see this film!
