A salute to Edgar Wright, Simon Pegg and Nick Frost’s
now-complete magnum opus: the Three Flavours Cornetto
Trilogy! In addition to SHAUN OF THE DEAD (the one
that started it all, with Nick Frost enjoying a blood-red
strawberry Cornetto ice cream novelty), presenting the
uproarious farce HOT FUZZ (for the boys in blue, the blue
Cornetto “original”) and sci-fi spoof THE WORLD’S END (in
honor off the little green men of lore, the “mint-choc-chip”).
THE WORLD’S END
Fri, Oct 18, 11:30; Sat, Oct 19, 11:30
For Gary King (Simon Pegg) and Andy Knightley (Nick
Frost) it was supposed to be the ultimate reunion: a boozy
quest to complete the epic pub crawl across their
hometown of Newton Haven that they left unfinished twenty
years ago. But they didn’t count on the alien invasion and
robot apocalypse beginning that night, before they can
reach their final destination: the World’s End pub!
Uproarious, explosive and surprisingly heartfelt, co-starring
Martin Freeman, Eddie Marsan, Paddy Considine and
Rosamund Pike.
DIR/SCR Edgar Wright; SCR Simon Pegg; PROD Tim Bevan, Eric
Fellner, Nira Park. UK, 2013, color, 109 min. RATED R
SHAUN OF THE DEAD
Fri, Oct 25, 10:30; Sat, Oct 26, 12 midnight;
Thu, Oct 31, 10:00
A surprise hit in 2004 and an enduring cult item since,
Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg's "rom-zom-com"—
a romantic comedy, with zombies—remains one of the best
examples of the horror-comedy hybrid genre. Dumped by
his girlfriend, slacker appliance salesman Pegg is so down
in the dumps that he fails to notice the zombie plague
taking over his London neighborhood until one pops up in
his backyard. Fortunately, he and his couch-potato flatmate
Nick Frost prove to be ace zombie dispatchers, and round
up their remaining loved ones to make a final stand at their
local pub, the Winchester.

HOT FUZZ
Fri, Nov 1, 11:30; Sat, Nov 2, 11:30
Stabbed in the back by his superiors, driven London cop
Nicholas Angel (Simon Pegg) is relegated to the bush
leagues—the picture-postcard-perfect village of Sandford.
There, he’s partnered with inept-but-eager Danny Butterman
(Nick Frost), the son of the local Inspector (Jim Broadbent).
However, as a series of grisly accidents disturbs the idyllic
village, Angel becomes convinced that something is rotten in
Sandford. And it will take all of Angel’s cop smarts, and
everything Butterman learned from his countless viewings of
BAD BOYS II, to take the bad guys down. Co-starring
Timothy Dalton, Paddy Considine, Martin Freeman, Bill
Nighy, Rafe Spall and Olivia Colman.

Casting a long and terrifying shadow over the genre,
German silent film master F. W. Murnau's uncredited
appropriation of Bram Stoker's "Dracula" set the standard for
all vampire flicks to come. Max Schreck's monstrous Count
Orlok is singularly frightening, repulsive and beastly, where
Bela Lugosi was courtly and Christopher Lee seductive.

Robert Wise’s iconic haunted house film, based on Shirley
Jackson’s novel “The Haunting of Hill House,” set the standard
for atmospheric fright-making, inducing the viewer to imagine
more than what’s shown. A team of paranormal activity
investigators, including anthropologist Dr. Markway (Richard
Johnson), two psychics—the brassy, lesbian Theodora (Claire
Bloom) and shy, retiring Eleanor Lance (Julie Harris), a powerful,
but highly suggestible, empath—and the mansion’s potential
heir, playboy Luke Sannerson (Russ Tamblyn), set up camp in the
house, the first guests it’s had in years. But will they become the
house’s latest victims?

Haunting of Hill House” by Shirley Jackson. US/UK, 1963, b&w, 112 min. NOT RATED

“Brains…more
brains!” Hapless
warehouse
employees Frank
and Freddy release
a toxic nerve gas
from a canister
containing a military
experiment gone
wrong, and soon
have a reanimated
cadaver on their
hands. Their effort
to destroy the
shambling threat
makes matters much
worse, polluting the
atmosphere and
creating an acid
rain that soon
soaks…the
graveyard. This cult classic from screenwriter-turned-director Dan
O’Bannon (ALIEN, TOTAL RECALL, DARK STAR) is overflowing
with outlandish gore, eye-popping visuals and lots of laughs, set
to a rockin’ soundtrack featuring The Cramps, The Damned,
Roky Erickson, T.S.O.L. and, fittingly, The Flesh Eaters.

An adorable and heart-warming animated film for the whole
family. A young girl with a triple palindrome name, Anina
Yatay Salas, must endure a weeklong suspension after a
schoolyard fight, and ultimately learn a lesson. A beautifully
animated tale of friendship and acceptance, cartoonist and
illustrator-turned-filmmaker Alfredo Soderguit brings to life a
striking 2003 children’s book by Sergio López Suárez (which
Soderguit also illustrated). Best Film and Director, 2013

Rodolfo is filled with regret. He’s divorced and remarried
but none the happier. His ex-wife Graciela and his teenage
daughter Ana are wary about letting him back into their lives,
but Rodolfo is determined to ingratiate himself with them both,
thinking up ways to help around the house, eventually camping
out on the couch. Complicating matters, Graciela takes up with
a man who looks eerily like her ex-husband, only much smarter,
and Ana experiences her own first serious relationship. A quirky
dramedy about three people condemned to the same, absurd
fate: being a family. Official Selection, 2012 Cannes, Toronto
Film Festivals.

Sullen 14-year-old Lucía’s week-long vacation with her brother
and her divorced dad appears ruined when torrential rainstorms
arrive, closing the pool and canceling all outdoor activities.
But Lucía befriends a local girl at the arcade, not to mention
the dreamy-looking Santiago, which soon leads to sneaking
out at night, parties on the beach, first love and first heartache.
An unsentimental portrait of family life under less-than-ideal
circumstances, graced with genuine moments of humor and
tenderness. Grand Prix and Best Screenplay, 2013 Miami

Like Alejendro González Iñarritu’s AMORES PERROS and
BABEL, this film is a multi-layered and grittily realistic drama, a
fragmented narrative reflective of a fragmented society. Héctor,
an absent father and distant husband, discovers his wife has
long been having an affair. Cristian, a blue-collar laborer heavily
in debt, lives with his girlfriend Valentina. Desperate for money,
he kidnaps the well-to-do Héctor’s son, initiating a series of
events that will change the lives of both families forever. A huge
box-office success in Venezuela.

"When there's something
strange in the neighborhood,
who you gonna call?" Released in
1984, GHOSTBUSTERS became a
record-setting box office smash, a
summer movie benchmark that established the template for how
to blend special effects with comedy to create imaginatively
escapist adventure. In a fortuitous convergence of then-red-hot
comic talent, director/producer Ivan Reitman sure-handedly
guides actors/authors Harold Ramis and Dan Aykroyd's script,
a winning vehicle for top-billed Bill Murray, while supporting
players Sigourney Weaver, Ernie Hudson, Annie Potts and Rick
Moranis contribute memorable moments of hilarity.
