Midnight Movies
Two films typically play at midnight every Friday and Saturday. However, only one film is scheduled in advance. Please check back every Wednesday when we post information about the second midnight film playing that coming weekend.
Pink Flamingos February 4
John Waters, 1972, 108m
The ultimate midnight movie! With the title of “Filthiest Person Alive” at stake, Babs Johnson (Divine), her degenerate son, and dim-bulb mother face stiff competition from the vile Marble clan (David Lochary and Mink Stole) in an unbridled assault on every taboo in the book. Incest, drug trafficking, bestiality and an egg fetish are merely the tip of the proverbial iceberg!
The House of the Devil February 4
Ti West, 2009, 93m
Sam is a pretty college sophomore, so desperate to earn some cash that she accepts a babysitting job even after she finds out there is no baby. At first, it seems just a bit creepy, but it quickly becomes clear that she will end the night in a bloody fight for her life…
Drive February 10
Nicolas Winding Refn, 2011, 100m
Part of the Oscar-Nominated Films collection
Only nominated for Sound Editing, but come on – Ryan Gosling’s steely performance, Albert Brooks’ atypical villain, and Nicolas Winding Refn’s gliding direction were all worthy contenders overlooked by The Academy this year. The story is pure pulp: A mysterious Hollywood stuntman, mechanic and getaway driver lands himself in trouble when he helps out his neighbour. The execution is anything but.
Bridesmaids February 10, 11
Paul Feig, 2011, 125m
Part of the Oscar-Nominated Films collection
Named her best friend’s maid of honor, down-on-her-luck Annie’s (Kristen Wiig) competition with a fellow bridesmaid, the wealthy and beautiful Helen, threatens to destroy the wedding. Melissa McCarthy’s show-stopping performance was nominated for Best Supporting Actress, while Kristen Wiig got a nod for Best Original Screenplay.
Full Metal Alchemist: The Sacred Star of Milos February 17, 18, 24, 25
Kazuya Murata, 2011, 110m
A fugitive alchemist with mysterious abilities leads the Elric brothers to a distant valley of slums inhabited by the Milos, a proud people struggling against bureaucratic exploitation. Ed and Al quickly find themselves in the middle of a rising rebellion, as the exiled Milos lash out against their oppressors. At the heart of the conflict is Julia, a young alchemist befriended by Alphonse. She’ll stop at nothing to restore the Milos to their former glory – even if that means harnessing the awful power of the mythical Philosopher’s Stone.
The Room February 17
Tommy Wiseau, 2003, 99m
This “electrifying American black comedy about love, passion, betrayal and lies” stars (and was directed, written and produced by) the mysterious Tommy Wiseau, and has been a cult favorite in LA for almost 6 years. “Enter The Room and leave forever changed!”
The Rocky Horror Picture Show February 18
Jim Sharman, 1975, 100m
Join us as we do the Time Warp again! Midnight Madness will join us to make sure that what’s happening in the audience is just as entertaining as what is on screen.
The Holy Mountain February 24, 25
Alejandro Jodorowski, 1973, 114m
Chilean avant-garde filmmaker Alejandro Jodorowsky weaves a grotesque tale rich in allegory and sacrilegious imagery as a thief (Horácio Salinas) is first crucified, then enlisted by an alchemist (Jodorowsky) to join a group of elites who seek divinity and immortality in this surreal mind-trip of a film.
