Uncapie here with some very cool news!
For the next two weeks, the Aero Theater at 1328 Montana Avenue in Santa Monica is hosting a retrospect on films from the seventies.
This Wednesday starting at 7:30 P.M. is "Mama Night" featuring director Steve Carver's exploitation classic, "Big Bad Mama" that's filled with blood, bullets and breasts! See William Shatner go crazy! See Angie Dickenson's bodacious ta-ta's! See Tom Skerrit have numerous sexual escapades! With special guest appearance by Corman regular, Dick Miller!
As an addeded bonus, Steve Carver will be in attendance for a q&a session right after the film.
The second feature is the classic, "Black Mama/White Mama" with the sexy Pam Grier, Margaret Markov and the ever-popular, crowd-pleasin' Sig Haig! A movie with chicks in chains co-written by Johnathen Demme. What more could you ask for? Lynn Borden, who plays the matron in "Black Mama/White Mama," will be introducing the film.
Thursday night starting at 7:30 PM features "Shampoo" and "Coming Home."
7:30 P.M. Friday is the action-packed, "The French Connection" and the "Brink's Job."
Saturday, beginning at 7:30 P.M., is a once-in-a-lifetime event. The coolest double-bill yet! A rare screening of, "The Dion Brothers" and "Race With the Devil!"
If you've never seen the "Dion Brothers," this maybe your only chance ever! This is the only surviving 35mm print in existence.
Stacey Keach and Frederic Forrest are at their best as two coal-mining brothers from West Virginia out to score big in the city in order to open a seafood restaurant. Shoot outs, double-crosses, stolen police cars, torture in a bathtub by an electric razor and Stacey Keach threatening a guy with a live lobster! This movie is insane!
A q&a will be held between the two films with Frederic Forrest and Barry Primus. Stacey Keach was scheduled as well, but unfortunately he won't be able to atttend due to a play he's performing in London.
Sunday is a William Graham double-bill beginning at 7:30 P.M. The rare "Together Brothers" about a group of inner city youths solving a murder and "Cry For Me Billy," a long lost, gritty western about a gunslinger(Cliff Potts) who hangs up his pistols when he falls in love with an Indian girl. When she's attacked, he fills his hands once more and all hell breaks loose.
Director William Graham will be in attendence for a q&a session between films.
Next week, Friday May 25, at 7:30 P.M. is a horror double-bill treat. "The Other" and the original, "Wicker Man." If you have never seen "The Other," this is one dark and creepy movie set in the 1930's in New England that plays on your psyche with Lovecraftian overtones. Look for a young John Ritter in a small role. The original "Wicker Man" is a solid little horror yarn that will keep you guessing until the end with an all-star cast featuring Edward Woodward, Britt Ekland and the great Christopher Lee!
Have fun!
