Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure
Monday, January 30

1hr 30mins // directed by:Stephen Herek // featuring:Keanu Reeves, Alex Winter, George Carlin

With only a few days left before their high school graduation, two most excellent dudes, Bill S. Preston, Esq. (Keanu Reeves) and Ted “Theodore” Logan (Alex Winter), are on the verge of flunking history.

Unless they can ace their final history report, Ted’s dad will pack him off to a military academy in Alaska, meaning their band, The Wyld Stallyns, will come to a heinous end. Luckily for these wanna-be rock stars, a guardian angel from the future, Rufus (George Carlin), comes to them with a bodacious solution: a time-traversing phone booth in which they travel back to the past and round up personages of historical significance who can help them stage a most triumphant oral report. Whoaa!

“Billy, you are dealing with the oddities of time travel with the greatest of ease.” – Bill S. Preston, Esq. to Billy the Kid, rescued from a bar fight

Join us before the film as Edward Farhi, a most excellent professor of physics at MIT and director of its Center for Theoretical Physics, unravels the oddities of time travel and weighs in on the question: Is travel through time physically possible? Dr. Farhi has studied the complexities of building a time machine, though not of the phone-booth variety.

Edward Farhi was trained as a theoretical particle physicist but has also worked on astrophysics, general relativity, and the foundations of quantum mechanics. His current interest is the theory of quantum computation. He was on the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center and at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland before coming to MIT, where he joined the faculty in 1982. He has won three teaching awards at MIT and has presented his research at many of the world’s leading physics research centers.

1hr 54mins // directed by:Kinji Fukasaku // featuring:"Beat" Takeshi Kitano

At the dawn of the millennium Japan collapsed. Disorder reigned and the adults feared their teenage children - promiscuous, retaliatory, violent - and passed the Millennium Educational Reform Act. Under this act, every year one high-school class is chosen to participate in the Battle Royale - a literal fight to the death.

42 students are given three days to kill their classmates - until one is left standing victorious - or everyone dies. These are the rules of Battle Royale, a government sanctioned way to reform the country's juvenile delinquents. Beat Takeshi (Outrage, Johnny Mnemonic, Violent Cop) stars as a retired teacher turned military official who oversees the Battle Royale and Officer Krupke he ain't...

The Theatre Bizarre
Fri & Sat, Jan 27 & 28, Feb. 10 & 11

bennyhillifier
1hr 54mins // directed by:Buddy Giovinazzo, Tom Savini, Richard Stanley, David Gregory and more // featuring:Udo Kier, Tom Savini, Debbie Rachon

Producer and segment director David Gregory ("Sweets") will be in attendance Saturday, Jan. 28th for an intro and Q&A. Executive producer Daryl Tucker will be on hand for the Saturday, Feb. 11th screening.

Down a seedy city street, a young woman is obsessed with what appears to be a long abandoned theatre. One night, she sees the front door slightly ajar and impulsively decides to sneak inside.

But there in the vast, eerie auditorium, a show unlike any other unfolds before her eyes. Its host is an odd marionette-like man who will introduce her to six tales of the truly bizarre: A couple traveling in a remote part of the French Pyrenees crosses paths with a lustful witch; A paranoid lover faces the wrath of a partner who has been pushed to her limit; The Freudian dreams of an unfaithful husband blur the lines between fantasy and reality; The horrors of the real world are interpreted through the mind of a child; A woman addicted to other people's memories gets her fix through the fluid of her victims’ eyeballs; And a perverse obsession with sweets turns sour for a couple in too deep. But as the stories unfold, something strange is happening to the woman. Something irreversible and horrific. Something that awaits its next audience in The Theatre Bizarre.

Directed by Douglas Buck (Sisters, Family Portraits: A Trilogy of America) , Buddy Giovinazzo (Combat Shock, Life is Hot in Cracktown), David Gregory (Plague Town), Karim Hussain (The Beautiful Beast, Subconscious Cruelty), Jeremy Kasten (The Wizard of Gore (2007)), Tom Savini (Tales from the Darkside, Night of the Living Dead), and Richard Stanley (Hardware, Dust Devil).

Co-presented by Emerson College, department of Visual and Media Arts and the Boston Underground Film Festival.

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
regular run, still going, I know I already posted this, and it is awesome!

2hr 07mins // directed by:Tomas Alfredson // featuring:Gary Oldman, John Hurt, Colin Firth, Thomas Hardy

Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy is the long-awaited feature film version of John le Carré’s classic bestselling novel. The thriller is directed by Tomas Alfredson (Let the Right One In). The screenplay adaptation is by the writing team of Bridget O’Connor & Peter Straughan.

The time is 1973. The Cold War of the mid-20th Century continues to damage international relations. Britain’s Secret Intelligence Service (SIS), a.k.a. MI6 and code-named the Circus, is striving to keep pace with other countries’ espionage efforts and to keep the U.K. secure. The head of the Circus, known as Control (John Hurt), personally sends dedicated operative Jim Prideaux (Mark Strong) into Hungary. But Jim’s mission goes bloodily awry, and Control is forced out of the Circus – as is his top lieutenant, George Smiley (Gary Oldman), a career spy with razor-sharp senses.

Estranged from his absent wife Ann, Smiley is soon called in to see undersecretary Oliver Lacon (Simon McBurney); he is to be rehired in secret at the government’s behest, as there is a gnawing fear that the Circus has long been compromised by a double agent, or mole, working for the Soviets and jeopardizing England. Supported by younger agent Peter Guillam (Benedict Cumberbatch), Smiley parses Circus activities past and present. In trying to track and identify the mole, Smiley is haunted by his decades-earlier interaction with the shadowy Russian spy master Karla.

The mole’s trail remains cold until maverick field agent Ricki Tarr (Tom Hardy) unexpectedly contacts Lacon. While undercover in Turkey, Ricki has fallen for a betrayed married woman, Irina (Svetlana Khodchenkova), who claims to possess crucial intelligence. Separately, Smiley learns that Control narrowed down the list of mole suspects to five men. They are the ambitious Percy Alleline (Toby Jones), whom he had code-named Tinker; suavely confident Bill Haydon (Colin Firth), dubbed Tailor; stalwart Roy Bland (Ciarán Hinds), called Soldier; officious Toby Esterhase (David Dencik), dubbed Poor Man; and – Smiley himself.

Even before the startling truth is revealed, the emotional and physical tolls on the players enmeshed in the deadly international spy game will escalate…

The Innkeepers

1hr 40mins // directed by:Ti West // featuring:Sara Paxton, Pat Healy, Kelly McGillis

After over one hundred years of service, The Yankee Pedlar Inn is shutting its doors for good.

The last remaining employees, Claire (Sara Paxton) and Luke (Pat Healy), are determined to uncover proof of what many believe to be one of New England's most haunted hotels. As the Inn’s final days draw near, odd guests check in as the pair of minimum wage “ghost hunters” begin to experience strange and alarming events that may ultimately cause them to be mere footnotes in the hotel’s long unexplained history.>>
