Notes from the attic: Parade
We watched Parade (1974) in movie club sometime ago. Jacques Tati's last film -- a made-for-TV variety show full of standup, circus magicians, jugglers and clowns. It's a lot of fun for the whole family. A great way to introduce Tati to the younger ones.

Read More...Notes from the attic: The Pumaman (MST3K)
Wow, you forget sometimes how bad movies can be. Fortunately, Mystery Science Theater 3000 is there to remind you and salvage the wreckage. We watched The Pumaman (1998) a couple months back in movie club. (Here's the 1980 film link sans funny.) Tony Farms is just a regular old handsome scientist, but one day he's […]

Read More...Notes from the attic: The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
We watched this twisty mystery-thriller from Dario Agento a while back in movie club. After a writer witnesses an attempted murder whilst out on an evening stroll, someone wants him dead, too. Pretty great (the movie, not the murder attempts). 1970.

You asked and we heard you – we will be opening Awake: The Life of Yogananda, an unconventional biography about the East Indian mystic who brought yoga and meditation to the West in the 1920s, on Friday the 29th. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MdnrP1fMn7I[/youtube]
Read More...Roar!
Roar (1981) is what you get when big-cat-obsessed filmmakers make what is essentially a 17-million-dollar home movie: pure insanity ... and lots of big-cat wrestling and puncture wounds. The plot doesn't even matter (and frankly doesn't make sense anyway). Come see the weirdest, wildest movie we'll screen this year and wonder, like we did, how […]
