FIRST BLOOD & RAMBO: FIRST BLOOD PT II

Double Feature (1982)
New DCP restorations!

ANNIE (1982)
Reserve seats for just $1-3 each, which will be donated to local
non-profit Youth Theater Interactions!

One week before Stallone potentially wins that Oscar after four
decades of portraying Rocky, revisit his other iconic character the lean and mean Rambo!

Lets go to the movies to see ANNIE with the family! When

youre stuck in a day thats gray and lonely, ANNIE puts a smile
on your face and a tap in your step, even an uptight all-business
Daddy Warbucks cant resist the charm. Scrappy girls and stray
muts prevail, the hard-knock life is more virtuous then Easy
Street, and were all dancing for joy that We Got Annie!

The origins of Rambo are easy to forget, having been overshadowed by the sequels and parodies, but FIRST BLOOD is a
stone cold masterpiece. Stallone crafts the iconic character as
a laconic drifter who is pushed by a small town, small minded
sheriff until he has no choice but to defend himself using every
tactic he learned as a Green Beret.

VALENTINES DAY
TITANIC (1997)
Admission includes a glass of champagne and surprise sweet treat!

In FIRST BLOOD PART II we enter a whole other territory

of action movie, now being knee-deep in the 80s where excess
abounds. Here Rambo becomes the machine gun wielding hero,
a one-man army intent on saving POWs in Vietnam. Bursting
with explosions and that Rambo yell, it is dizzying, bulletriddled and dead serious.

Celebrate Valentines Day with the sweeping romance and

heart-bursting spectacle of TITANIC! Whether you want to
feel like King of the World or a blossoming Rose, take the ride
of James Camerons epic and let tears and laughter flow. Revel
in Roses dodging of pompous leerer Cal and the raucous, fun
times in third class. Your heart will go on even as the great
tragedy strikes!

Burt-Day: the Burt Reynolds Movie Marathon

Five Burt Reynolds movies all in 35mm!
To mark the 80th birthday of living legend Burt Reynolds, we
present to you five movies, all on 35mm, showcasing the talent
of a man who is much more than a mustache draped over a sly
smile. In his decades-spanning career, Mr. Reynolds has raced
cars, tossed footballs, done some singing and dancing, and even
directed, all with effortless charm (and the help of courageous
stunt doubles). We wont reveal the line-up of movies until they
flicker onscreen, but you can count on spending some time
amongst liquor law breakers and other cons, in the Southern
swamp and blazing-sun locales, with Hal Needhams foolhardy
auto-antics and plenty of Burts signature cackle.
Special thanks to the Academy Film Archives and American
Genre Film Archive.

HAYAO MIYAZAKI SERIES

MIYAZAKIS INCREDIBLE CINEMATIC ACHIEVEMENTS

HOWLS MOVING CASTLE (2004)

In a land on the brink of war, Sophie, a young hat maker is
transformed into a ninety-year-old woman by a vengeful witch.
Her only chance at regaining her youth is with the help of a
fire demon who wants to escape the wizard he is bound to. So
begins Sophies journey through the warring nations, where she
crosses paths with kings, sorcerers, a living scarecrow, and, of
course, a moving castle.
Beautifully delving into the themes that Miyazaki has continually returned to (the futility of war and mans relationship with
nature), it also has one of the most moving romantic stories in
any Studio Ghibli film.
KIKIS DELIVERY SERVICE (1989)
Hideo Miyazaki tackles the delicate topics of growing up and
growing vulnerable, taking on the subject matter in a manner
which is, at the same time, serious and whimsical (the hallmarks
of a Studio Ghibli film).
Join Kiki as she begins to understand her powers and shows
the world that not all witches are bad, though they do fly on
broomsticks and own black cats. In Miyazakis world, they
also deliver baked goods, find romance, rescue their pets from
trouble and, on occasion, have their perseverance tested. This
film reminds us that, despite our differences, we all have to
mature from child to adult at some point.
NAUSICAA OF THE VALLEY OF WIND (1984)
This film is one of Miyazakis earliest efforts; he started it as a
long-running comic epic, but in 1984, he produced a two-hour
animated version. All the Miyazaki hallmarks are in place:
rapturous explorations of natural vistas, a fascination with flight
and flying machines, and a spunky female lead out to change
the world, or at least hold her corner of it together through
sheer love.
Nausica is the princess of a rural valley that lives at peace on
the edge of a deadly fungal wasteland, until a ship carrying a
weapon from a bygone industrial age crash-lands nearby. When
warriors from a far country come to retrieve the artifact, their
invasion draws Nausica and her people into a sprawling political conflict.
MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO (1988)
Here is a childrens film made for the world we should live in,
rather than the one we occupy. A film with no villains. No fight
scenes. No evil adults. No fighting between the two kids. No
scary monsters. No darkness before the dawn. A world that is
benign. A world where if you meet a strange towering creature
in the forest, you curl up on its tummy and have a nap.
My Neighbor Totoro has become one of the most beloved of all
family films without ever having been much promoted or advertised. Its a perennial best seller on video. On the Internet Movie
Database, its voted the fifth best family film of all time, right
behind Toy Story 2 and ahead of Shrek. The new Anime
Encyclopedia calls it the best Japanese animated film ever made.
Whenever I watch it, I smile, and smile, and smile.

HAYAO MIYAZAKI SERIES

MIYAZAKIS INCREDIBLE CINEMATIC ACHIEVEMENTS

PRINCESS MONONOKE (1997)

Full of myth, magic, creation, and destruction PRINCESS
MONONOKE stands as one of director Hayao Miyazakis
crowning achievements. The epic struggle of nature against
human industry is shown here through the eyes of a young man
caught up in the middle. The gods of the forest are just trying
to protect their home. The humans invading the woods are
just looking for a little break and poor Ashitaka is just trying to
figure out what is going on and why hes become involved.
With giant wolves, adorable tree spirits, and the beautiful music
of Miyazakis frequent collaborator Joe Hisaishi, you wont be
able to look away. And you wont want to either.
SPIRITED AWAY (2001)
Ostensibly, this film is the story of a girls voyage into the
spirit world to rescue her parents, who, in typical idiotic adult
fashion, drive on a road where they shouldnt drive, eat food
they shouldnt eat and end up getting turned into pigs. But this
premise is, as usual, mainly an excuse for Miyazakis imagination and id to free-associate, channeling and repurposing elements of Eastern and Western mythology, Lewis Carrolls Alice,
E. Nesbit, Where the Wild Things Are, George Herrimans
Krazy Kat comic strip, Mervyn Peakes Gormenghast trilogy
and God only knows what else.

Temple of Schlock:
BLACK TIGRESS (1967, 35mm)
Rare 35mm screening presented by the American Genre Film
Archive! Introduced by Temple of Schlocks Chris Poggiali.
Once upon a time in Spain-doubling-for-the-West, the residents
of Santa Ana were being terrorized by a baddie known as El
Diablo and his hired thugs, who took hostages and bled the
town dry until one day help arrived in the form of... welllll, this
being an Italian western, youre probably expecting Django or
Ringo or Sartana, but no, its sexy saloon singer Lola Gate to the
rescue, played by a badly dubbed...Lola Falana?! Yes, not long
after making her stage debut as a protg of Sammy Davis, Jr.
in the Broadway musical Golden Boy, Lola followed the career
path of Clint Eastwood, Jack Palance and other American actors
who went to Europe in search of the starring roles that were
eluding them in Hollywood.
Video Vortex: BLOODSTREAM (1985)
When filmmaker Alistairs latest slasher -- also called BLOODSTREAM -- is rejected by a scumbag producer, all seems lost.
But when Alistair finds out that the rejection was a ruse to cut
him out of the profits, he does what any self-respecting weirdo
would do -- he dons a skull mask, calls himself The Angel Of
Death, and embarks on a revenge-fueled bloodbath!! BLOODSTREAM explodes with several movies-within-movies and a
meta-boosted commentary on the Video Nasties era. Imagine
Dario Argento reworking THE LAST HOUSE ON DEAD
END STREET through a haze of youth, inexperience, and
third-generation VHS crust and youre halfway there.

HARD BOILED (1992, 35mm)
Rare uncut subtitled version screening in 35mm!

that culminates in an epic hospital shootout featuring a nearly
three minute long single take that has been imitated yet never
equaled. A
lready an established action cinema veteran in Hong

violent, beautiful, mean and never ever subtle.

Michael Gingold.

of Flint, Michigan in the wake of dramatic GM workforce
reductions in the 1980s. The son of a factory worker who
escaped Flint by way of a journalism career, Moore profiles the
once-prosperous citys decay and the flailing, often tone-deaf
responses from city officials, wealthy suburb dwellers, and
even hometown celebrities like game show host Bob Eubanks.
His key aim throughout the film -- to confront GM chairman
Roger B. Smith about plant closings and to bring him on a tour
of Flint, where families are evicted on Christmas Eve.
