Monday Movies are Back at a New Location!
Monday, September 17, 2007 Monday Movies begin again at our new location The Tonic Lounge. We've got an indoor venue, and plenty of new 16mm films to show you.
Monday the 17th is Rock n' Roll Night. We are showing The Girl Can't Help It (1956, black & white, 99 minutes) the quintessential rock & roll movie, starring Jayne Mansfield. Performances by Little Richard, Fats Domino, Gene Vincent, Julie London, Fats Domino, Eddie Cochran, and The Platters. We wanted to take advantage of the great sound system we now have access to, and this film does just that!
Upcoming schedule:
September 24, Deadly Driving Night
Last Date (1950 B&W, 15 min.) Reckless teen driving, starring a young and unknown Dick York, before he was gay or Darin Stevens.
None For The Road (1957 B&W, 15 min.) Her lucky charm bracelet was no match for a liquored up escort home.
Red Light Return (1965 Eastman color, 15 min.) Crash test dummies and crumpled steel show you just how much General Motors cares.
October 1, Military Disasters
Disaster Control Nuclear Fallout (US Air Force, 1956, B&W, 30 min.) Hey! I can see the bones in my hand right through the skin!
Battle of Russia (US Army, 1943, B&W, 30 min.) Academy Award winner for best documentary by Frank Capra. No Santa, no Jimmy Stewart, just hardcore war and a smattering of Nazis to boot!
Military Blooper Reel (US Army, 10 min.) The fun never ends when the military makes training films. Spliced together outtakes and mistakes that remind us war is funny!
October 8, Ghetto Life
Marked For Failure (NET, 1964, B&W, 60 min.) Before PBS, there was National Educational Television. After a series of films tearing into the government and the powerful white majority such as this one, NET was shut down so that it could no longer embarrass Whitey with his own money.
