SUMMARY:THE REFLECTING SKIN (1990) -- 𝔉𝔬𝔩𝔨 ℌ𝔬𝔯𝔯𝔬𝔯 𝔄𝔯𝔬𝔲𝔫𝔡 𝔗𝔥𝔢 𝔚𝔬𝔯𝔩𝔡
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Influenced…by Alice in Wonderland and the paintings of Andrew Wyeth\, THE REFLECTING SKIN is a tour de force of twisted gothic imagination\, its deadpan horrors only enhanced by the stunning beauty of Dick Pope’s photography.” – Sight & Sound \n\n\n\nAn instant cult classic when it premiered to sold out screenings at Cannes in 1990\, THE REFLECTING SKIN is a nightmarish vision of the American dream. Growing up in the 1950s in small-town Idaho\, 8-year-old Seth and his friends play a prank on the town recluse\, a mysterious English widow named Dolphin Blue (Tony winner Lindsay Duncan). After his father tells him stories of vampires\, Seth becomes convinced Dolphin is a vampire\, stealing the souls of his neighborhood friends one by one. When his older brother Cameron (Lord of the Rings‘ Viggo Mortensen\, in one of his first starring roles)\, returns home from military service in the Pacific and takes a liking to Dolphin\, Seth feels it’s up to him to save Cameron from his friends’ fate. With stunning visuals recalling Edward Hopper paintings and a surreal blend of horror and pitch-black humor\, THE REFLECTING SKIN is a “stunningly beautiful…Gothic masterpiece” (The Guardian). \n\n\n\nEach month\, Arkadin presents a selection of FOLK HORROR AROUND THE WORLD\, creepy folktales from all corner of the globe to give you the Sunday scaries. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:DINNER IN AMERICA (2020) w/ punk rock love songs pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“An authentic and awkward love story between two outcasts who find solace in each other. It subverts the MPDG trope by giving us a neurodivergent woman who isn’t there to fix anyone and a love story that feels messy and real\, rather than idealized. Dinner in America is a raw\, uncomfortable\, but ultimately heartfelt exploration of love\, rebellion\, and what it means to truly accept someone\, weirdness and all.” – 34th Street \n\n\n\nA DIY love letter to being authentically yourself\, finding your voice\, and being punk AF\, DINNER IN AMERICA may just be the quintessential love story for Generation Z. In a dreary Midwestern suburb\, aggro punk rocker Simon (Kyle Gallner) finds himself on the run again after a bout of arson and a close call with the police. A chance encounter with the spirited and socially awkward Patty (Emily Skeggs) provides him a place to lay low. As the two embark on a series of misadventures\, they begin to realize they have a lot more in common than they first expected. Skillfully directed by Adam Rehmeier and set to the beat of brilliant original songs\, DINNER IN AMERICA found an adoring audience on TikTok and Letterboxd\, whose users have propelled the film from Sundance also-ran to true-blue cult cinema phenomenon. The film’s rough-edged but empowering story of misfits in love has particularly resonated with neurodivergent audiences who see a bit of themselves in Patty\, an outcast who just wants to be accepted\, not changed. \n\n\n\nIn honor of the incredible original tunes in Dinner in America (including the earworm “Watermelon Song”)\, a Punk Rock Love Songs pre-show will precede the film\, starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person. However\, we encourage researching titles to determine if a screening may contain content that could be upsetting to you. Please feel free to contact us for guidance on specific films.

SUMMARY:WHAT'S UP\, DOC? (1972) w/ Barbra Streisand pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Literally reels of pure\, unadulterated and sustained laughs!” – Variety \n\n\n\nA joyous celebration of classic screwball farce\, Peter Bogdanovich’s WHAT’S UP\, DOC? updated the zany style of Hawks and Sturges for the New Hollywood ’70s. Barbra Streisand stars as the Bugs Bunny-esque Judy Maxwell who sets her sights on nebbishy musicologist Howard Bannister (Ryan O’Neal\, in bespectacled Cary Grant mode) and his precious igneous rocks. Too bad Howard already has a fiancée\, prim-and-proper Eunice (Madeline Kahn in her film debut). With hilarious complications\, including a daffy luggage mix-up plot\, quippy rapid-fire dialogue\, and one of the wildest chase sequences ever put to film\, DOC is worthy of comparison to the screwballs that inspired it and remains one of the funniest films of the 1970s. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll be celebrating the magic of Babs with a Barbra Streisand pre-show beginning at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:S&M rom-com SECRETARY (2002)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A small groundbreaking comedy\, a contemporary Cinderella story with a kink and a wink” – The New York Times \n\n\n\nMaggie Gyllenhaal\, in her first leading role\, faces off against James Spader in a deliciously kinky rom-com for all you little freaks out there. Lee Holloway (Gyllenhaal) is a young woman addicted to pain who finds her perfect foil when she takes a secretarial job with E. Edward Grey (Spader)\, where she learns that taking orders really turns her on\, a predilection that will be put to extensive use by her control-freak boss. Gllyenhaal brings a winking faux-naivete to her role\, while Spader\, as the original Mr. Grey\, embodies the sexy weirdo archetype par excellence. What might have seemed obnoxiously retrograde in the wrong hands is\, in writer-director Steven Shainberg’s hands\, wickedly funny\, supremely steamy\, and surprisingly sweet.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:SOMETHING WILD (1986) w/ New Wave pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Joyfully offbeat… It’s vivaciously funny and sexy and spontaneous\, it’s full of hairpin turns that rivet and delight\, it’s a dizzyingly unbridled love comedy that turns darker and more dangerous — not abruptly but inexorably\, like a sunny day melting into night\, until you realize you’re watching a violently free-spirited thriller about the true stakes of passion.” – Variety \n\n\n\nThere’s never been a film quite like SOMETHING WILD. Directed by oddball auteur Jonathan Demme (The Silence of the Lambs\, Stop Making Sense)\, the story starts as a quirky rom-com and ends up as a surprisingly unhinged thriller while remaining deliriously offbeat throughout. It all starts outside a New York greasy spoon where quirky\, free-spirited Lulu (Melanie Griffith) confronts strait-laced yuppie banker Charlie (Jeff Daniels) for failing to pay his bill. It’s not long before the two find themselves on an interstate road trip and possibly falling for each other\, until Lulu’s menacing ex-husband (Ray Liotta) shows up. Featuring a killer ’80s soundtrack and electric performances from Daniels\, Griffith\, and Liotta\, SOMETHING WILD is both a kinky comic thriller and a radiantly off-kilter love story. \n\n\n\nThe movie is preceded at 4:30 pm by a New Wave pre-show paying tribute to Something Wild’s iconic soundtrack. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:MAUVAIS SANG (a.k.a. Bad Blood\, 1986) presented by Lost in the Arthouse
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLOST IN THE ARTHOUSE is a monthly series hosted by Arkadin co-owner Keith Watson that takes you to hidden corners of filmdom far from Hollywood. From must-see classics to obscurities waiting to be discovered\, these films stand at cinema’s bleeding edge. \n\n\n\n“A masterpiece of ecstatic cinema from 1986… With an emotional world akin to that of the New Wave masters\, a visual vocabulary that pays tribute to their later works\, and a visionary sensibility that owes much to Jean Cocteau’s fantasies\, Carax suggests the burden of young genius in a world of mighty patriarchs who aren’t budging.” – The New Yorker \n\n\n\nWith this giddily romantic\, exquisitely stylized sophomore feature\, Leos Carax cemented his status as one of the boldest filmmakers of his generation. In a world ravaged by STBO\, a sexually transmitted disease only acquired by people having sex without any emotion\, a rebellious young man (Denis Lavant) is recruited by a veteran criminal (Michel Piccoli) to steal the antidote. He soon falls dangerously in love with his new associate’s lover (Juliette Binoche)—an infatuation that catapults him out into the street to run to the pounding beat of David Bowie’s “Modern Love” in one of the most exhilarating moments of cinema (so powerful\, it was cribbed note for note by Noah Baumbach in Frances Ha). In what may well be the defining film of 1980s French film\, Leos Carax revived the the spirit of early Godard\, creating a bold and beautiful gangster film-cum-romance that serves as a vibrant love letter to the possibilities of cinema.  \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Cary Grant & Irene Dunne in THE AWFUL TRUTH (1937)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The Awful Truth is one of the great American comedies\, but it’s also a mighty and mysterious film about relationships\, which are composed of nesting negotiations—performances—that leave scars.” – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nIn this Oscar-winning farce\, Cary Grant (in the role that first defined the Cary Grant persona) and Irene Dunne exude charm\, cunning\, and artless affection as an urbane couple who\, fed up with each other’s infidelities\, resolve to file for divorce. But try as they might to move on\, the mischievous Jerry can’t help meddling in Lucy’s ill-matched engagement to a corn-fed Oklahoma businessman (Ralph Bellamy)\, and a mortified Lucy begins to realize that she may be saying goodbye to the only dance partner capable of following her lead. Directed by the versatile Leo McCarey\, a master of improvisation and slapstick as well as a keen and sympathetic observer of human folly\, THE AWFUL TRUTH is a warm but unsparing comedy about two people whose flaws only make them more irresistible. \n\n\n\nEach week in February\, Arkadin presents SCREWBALL SUNDAYS\, $5 matinee screenings of some of the zaniest comedies from Hollywood’s Golden Age.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Cult Classic Sci-Fi Indie THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET (1984)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“ONE OF THE BEST SCI-FI MOVIES OF ALL TIME! A gentle-hearted satire on race and the immigrant experience…science fiction at its most succinct and humane.” – Slant Magazine \n\n\n\nBlending sci‑fi\, social satire\, and street‑level realism into an indie cult classic\, THE BROTHER FROM ANOTHER PLANET takes a sly look at social divisions through the eyes of a mute\, three-toed extraterrestrial slave who just so happens to look like an African-American man. Written and directed by indie legend John Sayles (Lone Star\, Matewan)\, the film wittily exposes the absurdities of race\, power\, and cultural identification as The Brother finds community in Harlem while hiding out from international bounty hunters who seek to take him back to his home planet. It’s a quirky\, political\, and unmistakably human riff on the classic immigrant’s story brought to life by Joe Morton’s soulful yet wordless lead performance.  \n\n\n\nOTHER WORLDS brings you to strange new realms through science fiction and fantasy. Featuring classics\, hidden gems\, and cult favorites\, this series offers a mind-bending retreat from our mundane reality. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:$3 MONDAY MYSTERY MOVIE: Bizarre Animated Lesbian Sci-Fi Musical
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn the last Monday of every month\, Arkadin chooses an underseen deep cut to inflict upon an unwitting audience. Though the genre and tone may change\, the price always remains the same: three measly bucks. You can’t afford not to get yourself a ticket!  \n\n\n\nImagine an animated\, futuristic\, overtly queer version of Phantom of the Paradise and you’re maybe a third of the way to comprehending the sheer audacious WTFery of this month’s mystery selection. Little known and barely seen\, this obscure little gem features a shockingly high-profile voice cast — none of whom surely understood what exactly they were getting into. Sometimes cheesy\, other times mind-bendingly psychedelic\, this tripped-out dreamscape features some genuinely fascinating ideas and mind-blowing images alongside plenty of corny cliches and goofball moments. But there’s an endearing sincerity and genuine inventiveness that makes this film a true must-see for lovers of cinema’s stranger side. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTheater Policies\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAll seats are first-come\, first-served.\n\n\n\nThe theater opens 30 minutes prior to showtime\, except for “Happy Hour” events and pre-shows when the theater opens at the listed start time.\n\n\n\nAll ages are welcome at Arkadin except for Drinkolas Cage events\, which are restricted to 21+.

SUMMARY:SUBMARINE (2010) w/ Richard Ayoade pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A mesmerising\, outlandish and warm-hearted indie comedy… In simple terms\, it’s 97 minutes of absolute cinematic joy.” – HeyUGuys \n\n\n\nDirected by beloved British comedy multi-hyphenate Richard Ayoade\, SUBMARINE is deadpan\, stylish\, and moving. A deeply lived-in coming‑of‑age comedy adapted from Joe Dunthorpe’s novel about a Welsh teen determined to control the chaos of his life—his love life\, his parents’ marriage\, and his own overactive imagination—the film stars Craig Roberts as shy\, awkward Oliver Tate who sets out to lose his virginity while also stopping his mother (Sally Hawkins) from drifting toward a mystical ex-lover (Paddy Considine). Blending dry humor\, Wes Anderson-like visuals\, and a dreamy soundtrack by Arctic Monkeys’ Alex Turner\, SUBMARINE is a sharply observed portrait of adolescent delusion and longing that’s witty\, melancholic\, and irresistibly offbeat. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, come out for a pre-show dedicated to actor-comedian-author-panel-show-legend Richard Ayoade\, starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND (2004) w/ Michel Gondry music videos pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Among the best love stories of the 21st century…impossible to forget” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nWidely (and rightfully) considered one of the best American films of the 21st century\, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND is a wildly inventive and deeply soulful exploration of love\, loss\, and memory. Fully liberated from the shackles of mugging comedy\, Jim Carrey stars as sad sack Joel\, who is stunned to discover that his girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet\, in perhaps her finest performance) has had their tumultuous relationship erased from her mind. Joel decides to get the same treatment\, but as his memories of Clementine begin to fade\, Joel suddenly realizes how much he still loves her. Charlie Kaufman’s brilliant\, heartbreaking\, and mind-altering script is brought to weird and wonderful life through the innovative in-camera special effects of director Michel Gondry. ETERNAL SUNSHINE may be a film about forgetting\, but once experienced\, it sticks in your heart and mind forever. \n\n\n\nBefore the film\, we’ll be showcasing some of Michel Gondry’s equally innovative music video work with a pre-show starting at 6 pm. \n\n\n\nThis film is screening as part of Arkadin’s February 2026 series\, OFFBEAT ROMANCE\, featuring quirky tales of oddballs in love. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:RYE LANE (2023) w/ A Tribe Called Quest pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The greatest romantic comedy to be released in recent memory” – Katie Carter\, Katie at the Movies \n\n\n\nA buoyant British romantic comedy that puts pretty much every other stab at the genre this decade to shame\, RYE LANE is everything you want in a rom-com. It’s funny\, full of life\, and features two leads with genuine chemistry: David Jonsson as the recently-broken-up-with Dom and the also-recently-broken-up-with Yas. The two meet-cute at an art exhibition before spending a whirlwind day together\, sharing Before Sunrise-style banter against the bustling environs of South London before setting off on a mission to recover Yas’s copy of A Tribe Called Quest’s The Low End Theory from her ex’s flat.

SUMMARY:Cecil B. DeMille's wild Art Deco sex comedy musical disaster film MADAME SATAN (1930)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“[B]ombastically eclectic…orgiastic…unbelievably camp… In short\, it’s absolutely bizarre.” – Screen Slate \n\n\n\nBetter known for his serious-minded historical epics\, Cecil B. DeMille made his first and only foray into the musical genre with this bizarre pre-code sex comedy/romance/disaster movie/Art-Deco rhapsody for MGM. Wealthy but frigid socialite Angela Brooks (Kay Johnson) is dismayed to discover that her husband Bob (Reginald Denny) has seemingly lost interest in their icy marriage in favor of a hot-blooded young showgirl named Trixie (Lillian Roth). To win him back and prove her feminine wiles\, Angela adopts the persona of “Madam Satan\,” an alluring masked temptress—in a fabulous costume—who puts her skills to the test at an elaborate masquerade ball held aboard a zeppelin floating above Central Park. Angela succeeds in wowing the room\, but the doomed Deco dirigible is struck by lightning leading to a fiery crash that eerily anticipates the Hindenberg disaster by seven years. The film’s spectacular central set piece features an unforgettable dance sequence complete with the Deco-tastic “Spirit of Electricity” as danced by Theodore Kosloff\, a veteran of the Ballets Russes — alongside the sublime production design of Cedric Gibbons and Mitchell Leisen (heavily inspired by Parisian Art Deco) and sensational costumes by Gilbert Adrian.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:HIGHLANDER (1986) w/ Queen pre-show presented by Strange Brew
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis film is presented by St. Louis’s long-running cult film series Strange Brew — winner of the 2025 A-List Award for Best Movie Night in St. Louis. Strange Brew programmer Jon Scorfina will provide an introduction. \n\n\n\nA forensic scientist named Brenda (Roxanne Hart) investigates a string of mysterious beheadings in New York City and believes a reclusive antique dealer with the alias Russell Nash (Christopher Lambert) might be the prime suspect in the cult fantasy HIGHLANDER. As she gets closer to Russell\, he reveals the unbelievable story that he is truly Connor MacLeod\, an immortal born in the Scottish Highlands in the 16th century who is in a multi-century battle with other immortals who must be beheaded until only one remains. Sean Connery plays Ramirez\, Connor’s mentor and fellow immortal friend\, and Clancy Brown plays The Kurgan\, a 16th-century sadistic barbarian turned modern NYC street punk\, who has challenged Connor for the ultimate prize: to be the final immortal! \n\n\n\nDirector Russell Mulcahy\, a popular music video director\, cast lead actor Christopher Lambert after finding his picture in a magazine — not knowing the actor did not speak English and would have to learn the language during the brief period between landing the role and filming began. The film features a beautiful orchestral score by composer Michael Kamen\, as well as multiple original songs by rock megastars Queen including “Princes of the Universe” and “Who Wants to Live Forever.”  \n\n\n\nHIGHLANDER was an initial critical and box-office bomb during its theatrical release in 1986\, but found international success through its home video release and has since gone on to develop a devoted cult following. The original film spawned three live-action sequels\, an anime movie\, multiple television spin-offs\, and a remake currently in the works starring Henry Cavill\, but fans know\, “There Can Be Only One!” \n\n\n\nCome out early to celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Highlander with a special Queen music video preshow starting at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:PINK FLOYD: THE WALL (1982) presented by Dark Dream Cinema
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDark Dream Cinema is a monthly film series devoted to the creeping undercurrents of the arthouse scene\, hosted by Michael Morlaine. \n\n\n\n“Visually stunning\, sonically appealing\, and disturbingly still relevant.” Michael Cavendar \n\n\n\nPink (Bob Geldof) is a superstar with some serious baggage: Haunted by the father he lost in World War II\, hounded by the press and the fans and the industry itself\, and worn down by a growing sense of malaise and disconnect\, he builds an internal barrier between himself and everyone else. Eventually going catatonic\, Pink lapses into a fantasy world of nightmarish images and delusions of grandeur—but faced with his own annihilation\, he’ll need every last ounce of resolve in order to break through the wall.  \n\n\n\nDetailing the mental decay of a rock god who fancies himself a despotic ruler\, The Wall redefined the rock opera and pushed the limits of dark\, surrealistic cinema. Scored with music from Pink Floyd’s immortal concept record\, and interspersed with animated sequences by Gerald Scarfe\, The Wall doubles as both a rousing cinematic experience and a cautionary tale of how easily one can exploit the public’s thirst for celebrity and bigotry as the grounding for outright fascism. In an age in which reality TV stars hijack the White House and jackbooted thugs wage war on American streets\, there’s never been a more urgent time for Pink Floyd’s call to arms than now. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Indie Horror Cult Classic MAY (2002)
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“★★★★ – May is a horror film and something more and deeper\, something disturbing and oddly moving… [I]t functions as a black comedy\, but then it glides past the comedy and slides slowly down into a portrait of madness and sadness. The title performance by Angela Bettis is crucial to the film’s success. She plays a twisted character who might easily go over the top into parody\, and makes her believable\, sympathetic and terrifying.” – Roger Ebert \n\n\n\nOne of the defining indie horror films of the 21st century\, Lucky McKee’s MAY begins as the darkly funny portrait of a socially awkward veterinary assistant with a lazy eye whose only real friend is a creepy doll before gradually transforming into a twisted\, terrifying\, and profoundly affecting riff on Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein. Played with haunting pathos and neurotic charm by Angela Bettis\, May is an eccentric bisexual icon\, bouncing between hunky Adam (Jeremy Sisto)—whose perfect hands May becomes obsessed with—sexy co-worker Polly (Anna Faris) and a nameless dirtbag punk (James Duval). But May’s relationships eventually descend into depravity as she learns that people are not 100% perfect—only certain parts of them are. A difficult-to-market but easy-to-love combination of romance\, comedy\, and slasher thrills\, MAY wasn’t a hit upon its initial theatrical release\, but it’s become a true cult classic in the intervening quarter century\, the kind of film you find yourself feverishly recommending to friends just as soon as it’s hooked its bloody claws into you. \n\n\n\nThis film will be preceded by a pre-show featuring female-centered horror shorts\, beginning at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:Bad-Movie Classic MAC AND ME (1988) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“One of the best bad movies of all time! An accidentally riotous failure.” – Complex \n\n\n\nOne of the most baffling\, beloved\, and jaw-droppingly weird sci-fi films of the 1980s\, MAC AND ME has gained legions of fans across the universe thanks to its bad acting\, worse dialogue\, uncannily strange creature design\, and outrageously rampant product placement\, including the film’s most infamous scene: a hip-hop dance party set inside a McDonald’s! From writer-director Stewart Raffill\, the man behind fellow WTF classic Tammy & the T-Rex\, MAC AND ME tells the heartwarming story of M.A.C. (short for Mysterious Alien Creature)\, an ostensibly lovable little alien who in no way resembles E.T. MAC gets separated from his family and takes refuge in the home of a wheelchair-bound middle schooler named Eric (Jonathan Ward). While Mac adjusts quickly to life on Earth\, soon gaining a love for popular soft drink brands and fast food restaurants\, he remains desperate to reunite with his family before the gun-toting thugs of the federal government catch up with him.

SUMMARY:THE RULES OF ATTRACTION (2002) w/ Dawson's Creek pilot pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“Somewhere between a black romantic comedy and a psychosexual horror show\, it’s a film so delightfully bratty that it could be easy to miss what lies beneath… The Rules of Attraction brims with doomed yearning.” – The Guardian \n\n\n\nRIP James Van Der Beek. While he embodied the sensitive hunk archetype on beloved teen soap opera Dawson’s Creek and in the football drama Varsity Blues\, Van Der Beek went fully against type in Roger Avary’s deliriously stylish adaptation of Bret Easton Ellis’ nihilistic cult novel THE RULES OF ATTRACTION. Forget everything you thought you knew about Dawson Leery and higher education. Making his directorial debut\, Avary\, the Oscar-winning co-writer of Pulp Fiction\, takes you back to school and drops you in the middle of the drugged-out\, sexed-up lives of (fictional) Camden College’s most disaffected students. Van Der Beek plays Sean Bateman\, a womanizing drug dealer whose quest for some kind of connection brings him face-to-face with Lauren (Shannyn Sossamon)\, a shy girl looking for love but saving herself for the much sought after Victor (Kip Pardue) while Paul Denton (Ian Somerhalder) wants to make a connection of his own…with Sean. With a kitted-out visual style that employs split screens\, in-your-face montage\, and too-cool-for-school needle drops\, THE RULES OF ATTRACTION is fast-paced and funny even when its characters’ lives are spinning out of control. Roger Avary and Bret Easton Ellis may not have exactly covered themselves in glory over the past couple decades\, but this darkly funny satire of life\, love and the pursuit of debauchery remains a compellingly fatalistic plunge into the deep end of depravity as well as an impeccable time capsule of early-’00s fads and fashions. \n\n\n\nTo fully celebrate Van Der Beek (as well as his millennial-icon co-stars Katie Holmes\, Joshua Jackson\, and Michelle Williams)\, we’ll be presenting the full pilot episode of Dawson’s Creek before the film\, starting at 6:15 pm. Doors open at 6 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:THE RED SPECTACLES (1987) -- New 4K Restoration w/ dystopian shorts pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“A noir nightmare that’s halfway between detective story and farce\, live-action and human cartoon\, serious and scatological\, and Seijun Suzuki and Jean-Luc Godard.” – Screen Slate \n\n\n\nBefore creating mind-bending anime classics Ghost in the Shell\, Angel’s Egg\, and Patlabor\, visionary filmmaker Mamoru Oshii made this philosophical live-action blend of film noir\, political allegory\, and existential mystery. THE RED SPECTACLES is a visually striking black comedy that meditates on justice\, memory\, and the cost of loyalty that also inspired Oshii’s own Stray Dog: Kerberos Panzer Cops and its legendary animated prequel Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade. \n\n\n\nIn a dystopian near-future Japan\, law and order is enforced by a brutal paramilitary police unit known as the Kerberos Panzer Cops\, aka ‘Watchdogs of Hell’\, equipped with heavy weaponry and reinforced body armor called “Protect Gear.” However\, when their extreme methods spark public outcry\, the government moves to dismantle the unit. Disobeying orders to disband\, a trio of officers stage a rebellion—but only one\, Koichi Todome Shigeru Chiba)\, escapes. Three years later\, Koichi returns to Tokyo after living in exile\, carrying a mysterious suitcase. He seeks to reunite with his former comrades and uncover the truth behind the crackdown\, but he soon finds himself in a surreal and dreamlike city—a shadow of its former self\, filled with strange characters\, elusive memories\, and Kafkaesque absurdity. As reality begins to unravel\, Koichi descends deeper into paranoia\, unable to tell friend from foe\, truth from illusion. \n\n\n\nThe film will be preceded by a pre-show of dystopian short films at 6:30 pm. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN (1974) w/ Mel Brooks pre-show
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n“The best Mel Brooks film with the finest Gene Wilder performance is this near-flawless horror spoof that’s shot in velvety monochrome.” – Times (UK) \n\n\n\nRightfully regarded as one of the greatest comedies ever made\, YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN never gets old. Mel Brooks’ pitch-perfect satire of (and loving homage to) the Universal monster movies of the 1930s stars the maniacally brilliant Gene Wilder as Dr. Frederick Frankenstein (pronounced “Fronkensteen\,” of course)\, a scientist determined to live down his family’s lurid reputation for creating evil creatures until he finds himself in the old family castle where he can’t help but take up the family business. With the help of Teri Garr as the voluptuous Inga\, Marty Feldman as the bug-eyed assistant Igor\, and an abnormal brain\, Frankenstein ultimately brings to life a monster played with madcap mastery by Peter Boyle. But can the Monster be tamed? Or will he turn Frankenstein’s sex-starved socialite fiancee (the hilarious Madeline Kahn) into his bride? As Mel Brooks celebrates a century on the Earth this year\, let’s pay a fond return to perhaps his finest hour. \n\n\n\nPlus\, we’ll have more Mel before the film! Come out early for a Mel Brooks pre-show starting at 6 pm! \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun? We’re celebrating brides\, monsters\, mad doctors and more this month with our FEMALE FRANKENSTEINS series\, featuring thrills\, chills\, dark laughs and twisted loves\, all culminating with our screenings of the widely-acclaimed new horror-comedy DEAD LOVER! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nArkadin does not generally provide advisories about subject matter or potentially triggering content in films\, as sensitivities vary from person to person.

SUMMARY:FRANKENHOOKER (1990) -- Friday Night WTF!
DESCRIPTION:BUY TICKETS\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nFriday Night WTF screenings are cheap\, weird\, and out of control! Cult trashterpieces\, so-bad-they’re-good crapfests\, movies that make you ask “What the hell am I watching?!” — we’ve got ’em all on Friday night. \n\n\n\n“If you only see one movie this year\, it should be Frankenhooker” – Bill Murray \n\n\n\nAfter making horror history with Basket Case and Brain Damage\, the incomparable Frank Henenlotter unleashed FRANKENHOOKER—the goriest\, goofiest\, all-time greatest bastardization of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein you’ll ever see. After accidentally murdering the love of his life\, Jeffrey Franken decides to reanimate her with the help of a drug named Supercrack…and the body parts of a dozen streetwalkers. Like a twisted mash-up of John Waters’s Serial Mom and Stuart Gordon’s Re-Animator\, FRANKENHOOKER is a bad-taste triumph that revels in sublime camp\, gloopy gore\, and neon-soaked dreamscapes. Plus a perfectly pitched comedic turn by Penthouse Pet Patty Mullen as the title character. It’s everything a late-night WTF movie should be! \n\n\n\nWhy should Jessie Buckley have all the fun?
