Excellent performances by Jane's Addiction coupled with terrible acting from Perry and Casey. Lots of drug use. |

Batman (the 1966 original!)March 12 |
Rotten Tomatoes review |
|
"The whole movie feels like a 30 minute episode in which the director told the actors to speak slowly so that they could try to shoot enough film stock to make it into a feature length movie." |

Roger Ebert review |
|
A somewhat romanticized story of male prostitutes in LA. I liked it, but I think that i'd give it two stars, because something just wasn't there. I think that maybe the characters weren't developed enough. |

Roger Ebert review |
|
A history of the beginnings of skateboarding as we know it, told through the eyes of Stacy Peralta, of Powell-Peralta fame. Everyone liked this movie. |

An amateur filmmaker in the 60's, working on his own project, gets thrust into directing a science fiction movie, set in the year 2001. It looked great, but it was on the boring side. |

This is the movie that made John Waters famous, and quite possibly the film that made bad taste cool. |

Thora Birch and Steve Muscemi play in a great movie based on a Daniel Clowes comic. There will be a quiz and discussion afterwords. |

Cannibal! the musicalJanuary 8 |
Rotten Tomatoes reviews |

A hilarious, sometimes gross musical buy Trey Parker of South Park fame. I think that they did this while still in college! |

A really well reviewed movie that gets deep into sexuality and the rifts between the classes in Mexico. |
