Class of Nuke 'Em High (1986): Smells Like Teen...
Tromaville high school has got it’s fair share of problems. An unfortunate location less than a mile from a leaky nuclear power plant (Is this better or worse than an ancient Indian burial ground? I’m not sure). Then there’s the student body and faculty who are being terrorized by a punk gang called The Cretins. A group who supposedly turned from honor students to blood thirsty assholes in...

Best of Netflix Watch Instantly: Parting Glances...
Parting Glances is a movie about gays that isn’t full of lame sterotypes. Michael (Richard Ganoung), is sharing the last forty eight hours before his longtime partner Robert leaves for work in Africa. It’s set in middle-class gay eighties New York at the outbreak of the AIDS crisis, when misinformation and rampant stereotyping were creating a mix of panic and denial. While Michael...

Promotional Stills: License to Drive (1988)
I have a confession to make. I have never had a driver’s license. Maybe it was growing up in a small city with lots of public transportation and then transplanting to a bigger city with even more public transportation, but I never really wanted one. Looking for parking has always given me anxiety, so taking the subway or riding my Mongoose through the streets of Philly were fine with me....

Helter Skelter (1976): We Are Family.
It’s my own damn fault for watching a movie of the week. Some Netflix mismanagement led me to this place: a three hour movie that reads like a “ripped from the headlines” episode of Law & Order, with all the re-enactments, time stamps, prosecution pow wows and even a teary eyed on the stand freak out courtesy of Charles Manson (played by Steve Railsback). All that’s...

Hubba Hubba: James Dean by Phil Stern (1955)
I’m saying James Dean is a babe, you’re saying “Duh!”. I’m just glad we agree on something.

Found Stills: Emmanuelle (1974)
Emmanuelle is about as classy as softcore porn gets. It’s the kind of movie I imagine that couples during the seventies went to see on a date. People used to do this! Now that would result in a de-friend on facebook and no callback. When did we become such prudes?

Basket Case (1980): Dick In a Box.
Duane Bradley arrives in Manhattan with his lion’s main of hair blowing in the wind and all the doe eyed innocence (and an uncanny resemblance) to a Brady. But his honest-to-goodness look are a cover for a secret, stored in a locked wicker basket which he takes everywhere and who’s contents intrigue everyone he meets. I mean it’s not exactly a monogrammed Louis Vuitton...

Things to Do: Alien at BAM 7/11.
In the words of Phil Collins “Tonight, tonight, tonight, Oooohhhhhh” they are playing Alien at BAM (!!!) You know you wanna see Ripley in her tighty whities, be honest with yourself. Shows at 6:50 and 9:30, soak up some nachos and A/C on this stupid hot Monday.

BONUS: The Misfits (1961)
There are few things that I love more than a well executed color prism, and this is a perfect example. This is the Czech poster for the 1961 film The Misfits, the last screen appearance of Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe and the closing film of a Marilyn! a festival devoted to our favorite bombshell currently happening at BAM. Check out more info here.
