Coming up next- on Monday 27th- is Wes Craven's THE SERPENT AND THE RAINBOW. The Serpent and the Rainbow is a 1988 horror film directed by Wes Craven. It is, in a broad sense, a zombie movie, but one of the more traditional, pre-Night of the Living Dead voodoo types. Originally filmed in Haiti, the political and social unrest meant moving the entire production to the Dominican Republic midway through production for the safety of the cast and crew. Anthropologist Dennis Alan (Bill Pullman) travels to Haiti to investigate a drug used by black magic practitioners: one allegedly capable of transforming the living into zombie. He meets with Marielle Duchamp, a Haitian medical doctor who has been working closely with cases of zombification. One of her most recent cases is a man named Christophe, a fresh zombie with a better memory than usual. In their investigation, they meet with Louis Mozart, who, despite being something of a con man, is willing to provide them with the mysterious zombie drug. Meanwhile, Haitian dictator Dargent Peytraud notices Dr. Alan's investigations, and seeks to intimidate him into leaving the country. Alan stands up to the man, only to have his dreams haunted by visions of Peytraud, and the living dead.

TONIGHT

Next week- Monday 20th- we have David Lynch's WILD AT HEART, a crazy-violent-romantic road movie. Won Best Picture at Cannes in 1990, if things like that matter to you. Trailer is here if you need reminding.

Stickers? Yep, plenty left.

Soon! This sucker only runs for 75 minutes, we are going to press play at 6.30pm.

Well that was fun. This week (Monday 13th) we have The Creature From The Black Lagoon. The grandaddy of many a monster flick, this 1954 efffort still holds up very well indeed, and really does deserve to be seen in it's entirety, not just used as a lazy pop culture reference.

Also, the stickers have arrived. Come get some!

Research shows that 81% of people plan their Mondays on Friday. So here you go.

This thread could use a bump. Yes, we are kicking off again for 2013 next Monday, 6th May. It's the same deal- come along, sit at the bar and watch a movie from about 6.00pm onwards. Maybe have a drink too? I know I will. There is a Facebook page because you have to have one and there will be stickers, too.

These are not in date order yet, although ''Videodrome'' will be first up.

A couple of these will be shown on the big screen in the band room once those knitters finish their season.

original lineup of the Beasts of Bourbon featuring James Baker, Spencer P. Jones, Tex Perkins, Kim Salmon and Boris Sujdovic.

I still say this is one of several early line ups, not the original.

Well I got my ticket...but due to some work-related time poverty, I can no longer go. So I've given it to a friend. Have fun, guys, maybe next time.

I have Android Lost on my new Motorola. Free, and it is fun to play with. But that doesn't help you.
