LIFEFORCE (August 30, 7:30pm at The Aero)
So we almost had a full-on outer space headline going and then Dustin Hoffman had to go and ruin it. Or, well...
Anyhoo, anybody wanna watch some sexy space vampires run amok on planet Earth? Of course you do. That's why we've been blessed with the likes of Lifeforce. Tobe Hooper's space-sucker classic screens in 70mm during the closing weekend of Set The Aspect Ratio to Stun at the Aero: A weekend that also features It's A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World and Those Magnificent Men In Their Flying Machines. It should indeed be a magnificent way to celebrate America's workforce this long weekend.
CLOSE ENCOUNTERS OF THE THIRD KIND (New 35mm print at The Cinefamily, September 6,7,8)
Looking ahead to next week, watch Richard Dryfeuss become a total douchbag of a dad by abandoning his wife and children for some wild pipe dream involving, get this... aliens from outer space. Remember when he built that mountain out of his mashed potatoes? Heh. Jokes on Dryfeuss as that isn't even a real place...
THE GRADUATE (August 31, 7pm, Cinespia presents at Hollywood Forever Cemetery)
Because who wouldn't want to watch Anne Bancroft seduce Dustin Hoffman from the comfort of a cemetery...
