EASY LIVING (1937)
Preston Sturges wrote this Depression-era Cinderella story, in
which working girl Jean Arthurs fortunes change after she lucks
into possession of a rich womans coat. As those around her assume that what she wears is an indicator of who she is, Arthur
climbs the social ladder and eventually falls in love with Ray
Milland - the son of the coats real owner. EASY LIVING was
the first major comic script from the unparalled Sturges, ably
filmed by the still underrated Mitchell Leisen, with an eye for
the beauties of opulence and havoc alike. A sophisticated film
that isnt lacking in pie-fights. And well have an amazing collection of custom themed cocktails available at the show! 3/12
Vinegar Syndrome:
THE TELEPHONE BOOK (1971)
A major, forgotten comedic gem from New Yorks underground film scene of the early 70s, 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. Photographed in gorgeous, high-contrast black-andwhite, and punctuated with a remarkably surreal color animated
sequence. Newly restored from an archival 35mm print! 3/31
In LOST SOUL - THE DOOMED JOURNEY OF RICHARD STANLEYS ISLAND OF DR. MOREAU, director
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. LOST SOUL is a treasure trove
of fascinating stories ranging from Marlon Brandos bizarre
erratic behavior to Val Kilmers ego-driven sabotage to Richard
Stanleys covert ops after being kicked off the set. This documentary truly must be seen to be believed. 3/18
Video Vortex:
ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES (1985)
Somewhere off the coast of Dimension X, six humans crash
a boat on an island. At first, all is well. There are berries to
eat and wounds to tend. But when a man turns into a pile of
steaming goop in an acid lake, its clear that theres trouble
in paradise. And thats when hundreds of shark-toothed
demonoids begin to CHOW IT DOWN. ATTACK OF THE
BEAST CREATURES is no-budget ecstasy. Its an ode to
1950s monster-paranoia. But most of all, its an ode to lil
bloodthirsty buddies that have DayGlo eyes and K-Mart
Halloween wigs. Hypnotic, hilarious, and triumphant in its
enthusiastic ambition, ATTACK OF THE BEAST CREATURES is everything you could want from a movie that was
shot in Stanford, Connecticut for the price of a decent used
lawn mower. 3/24

DRAFTHOUSE FILMS
SPRING (2015)
Evan (Lou Taylor Pucci, EVIL DEAD, THUMBSUCKER) is
a young American fleeing to Europe to escape his past. While
backpacking along the Italian coast, everything changes during
a stop at an idyllic Italian village, where he meets and instantly
connects with the enchanting and mysterious Louise. A flirtatious romance begins to bloom between the two however,
Evan soon realizes that Louise has been harboring a monstrous,
primordial secret that puts both their relationship and their lives
in jeopardy.
This may be the perfect film to show for St. Patricks Day. In
celebration of everything green and Irish we are creating the
ultimate party and creating a good ol fashioned Shoot-Along.
Well provide the guns, the caps and the tattoos and you can
join in on the most outrageous way to watch a movie like this.
However, our own Chef Sticks has decided to take it one step
further and create a delicious Irish inspired three course meal
so good that will probably make you question your nationality.
