director
Joe
Dante
spins
an
affectionate
tale
about
three
UFO-obsessed
kids
who
decide
to
build
a
spaceship
out
of
their
tree
house
and
garbage
cans.
Ethan
Hawke
and
River
Phoenix
(at
the
age
of
15!)
perfectly
encompass
the
mid-80s,
pre-pubescent,
geekiness
that
many
of
us
were
feeling.
Preceded
by
a
handful
of
outcast

Dare
I
say
there
is
no
better
80s
action
film
than
James
Cameron's
slime-drippin',
acid-sprayin',
chest-burstin'
extravaganza?!
While
colonizing
has
always
been
one
of
America's
favorite
pastimes,
these
inhabitants
don't
seem
too
eager
to
play.
Come
cheer
for
the
baadasssss
female
of
the
decade,
Ellen
Ripley
(Weaver)
as
she
does
her
best
to
survive
in
this
interspecies
world
war.

- DARK
STAr (1974) - Written
by
Dan
O'Bannon;
Directed
by
John
Carpenter
 A team of wacky American astronauts have orders to blow up all "unstable" planets in the universe. Along the way they argue with their computerized bomb, ask the 'big' questions in life and fight aliens that look exactly like beach balls! John Carpenter's low-budget UCLA student debut combines pertinent politics, hi-larious hi-jinx & super spiffy special effects. Extremely RARE 35mm print!
NOTE: Due to the short length (82min) there will be a trailer reel of choice John Carpenter trailers preceding the film.
$10 for ALL THREE FILMS!
