Wolfen

Who Is Killing The Great Real-Estate Tycoons Of NYC?… THE DEUCE finds out when we take you to The Harris Theatre for WOLFEN!

Plus: Prizes and surprises, Bronx Brewery Pale Ale at the after-party, and music by DJ BONES! Hosted and presented by THE DEUCE JOCKEYS: Jeff, Andy, and Joe!

Just Added: Actor Tom Noonan will be joining The Deuce boys for a special Q&A following the film!

A bevy of grisly beheadings with connections to bombed-out-Bronx building development bewilders NYC Homicide cop Albert Finney and finicky coroner friend Gregory Hines – they’re just not biting on this B.S. of ‘terrorists’ being behind it all. Sound familiar? But things get even more bizarre when ‘high-steel’ American Indian Activists and self-described ‘shape-shifters’ start showing up on the suspects list. Suffice it to say: someone or some-THING is out there trying to level the playing field and it will tear the scream from your throat!!

The only non-Woodstock film directed by Michael Wadleigh from the novel by Whitley Strieber. Starring Albert Finney, Gregory Hines, Edward James Olmos, Diane Venora… and creepy Tom Noonan as a nutty zoologist!

Wild Tales

The Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language film out of Argentina, WILD TALES spins six stories about the pleasure of losing control.

Inequality, injustice and the demands of the world we live in cause stress and depression for many people. Some of them, however, explode. This is a movie about those people.

Vulnerable in the face of a reality that shifts and suddenly turns unpredictable, the characters of Wild Tales cross the thin line that divides civilization and barbarism. A lover’s betrayal, a return to the repressed past and the violence woven into everyday encounters drive the characters to madness as they cede to the undeniable pleasure of losing control.

The Big Lebowski Film Feast

Update: A second show has been added for Tuesday, April 21st at 7:15pm! 

Grab some burgers, some beers and a few laughs at THE BIG LEBOWSKI Film Feast. Your troubles are over, Dude.

Sometimes there’s a man — we won’t say a hero, ’cause what’s a hero? — but sometimes there’s a man who fits right in there — and that’s the Dude, in Los Angeles. The Dude spends most of his time knocking back caucasians while getting baked in the bath; if he’s not there, he’s almost definitely at the bowling alley. Things seem to be going all right for The Dude, that is until a couple of toughs break into his apartment and take a leak on his favorite rug. On a quest to get his rug back, The Dude takes on the role of private dick on behalf of his richer namesake, The Big Lebowski, a wheelchair bound millionaire whose wife has gone missing. And even if he’s a lazy man – and the Dude was most certainly that…. But… lost our train of thought here… Aw hell, we’ve done introduced him enough.

For this 4/20 (and 4/21!) screening of the Coens’ classic half-baked LA Noir, we’ve teamed up with fully-baked California brewery Lagunitas to cook up a multi-course meal that abides with scenes from the movie.

God Told Me To

Starring: Tony Lo Bianco, Deborah Raffin, Sandy Dennis, Sylvia Sidney, Sam Levene, Richard Lynch, Andy Kaufman

Armed with nothing but a cheap mail order rifle, an everyday Joe turns expert sniper, randomly taking out over a dozen New Yorkers. Devout detective Peter Nicholas (Lo Bianco) is on the case and gets shaken to the core when he finds out the killer’s motive: God told him to do it. As the investigation continues, more and more New Yorkers go on divinely inspired rampages and it’s up to Detective Nicholas to find out if these people are acting on God’s word, or if this sudden spat of violence has a more terrestrial cause.

It Follows

Starring: Maika Monroe, Keir Gilchrist, Daniel Zovatto, Jake Weary, Olivia Luccardi, Lili Sepe

For 19-year-old Jay, Autumn should be about school, boys and weekends out at the lake. But after a seemingly innocent sexual encounter, she finds herself plagued by strange visions and the inescapable sense that someone, or something, is following her. Faced with this burden, Jay and her teenage friends must find a way to escape the horrors that seem to be only a few steps behind.

Maps to the Stars

David Cronenberg’s latest, MAPS TO THE STARS, takes a twisted tour through the dark side of tinseltown.

Meet the Weiss family, who are making their way in Hollywood rife with money, fame, envy, and relentless hauntings. Stafford Weiss (John Cusack) is a famed TV self-help therapist with an A-list celebrity clientele. Meanwhile, Cristina Weiss (Olivia Williams) has her work cut out managing the career of their disaffected child-star son, who’s fresh out of rehab at age 13. Yet unbeknownst to them, another member of the Weiss family has arrived in town – mysteriously scarred and tormented Agatha (Mia Wasikowska), just released from a psych ward and ready to start again. She soon becomes personal assistant to unraveling actress Havana Segrand (Julianne Moore), who is beset by the ghost of her legendary mother. But Agatha is on a quest for redemption – and even in this realm of the artificial, and the unearthly, she’s determined to find it, no matter what it takes.

Fight for Your Life

THE DEUCE teams up once again with 42nd Street expert and exploitation extraordinaire ‘Uncle Bill’ Lustig for a screening of his fave freak-out FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE!

Plus: Prizes and surprises, Bronx Brewery Pale Ale at the after-party, and music by DJ BONES! Hosted and presented by THE DEUCE JOCKEYS: Jeff, Andy, and Joe!

“Why, you poor white trash! If it wasn’t for that gun, you’d be a yellow-streaked bum!”

William Sanderson (of Newhart fame) takes his film-debut turn as a hate-filled redneck prison escapee who, along with Mexican and Asian sidekicks, home-invade prominent African-American minister Robert Judd and family… Racist epithets abound before the tables are finally, brutally turned…

Denied a British theatrical release in 1981, FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE was released the following year on video, allowing the UK public brief access to the flick before it wound up on the ‘video nasties’ list and was outlawed – notably, for being the only title to appear on the list due to offensive language… Considered by critics as an “outrageous sleazefest” and “amazingly racist,” FIGHT FOR YOUR LIFE will be presented by filmmaker Bill Lustig, who returns to THE DEUCE for year number two as our special guest curator!

Night of the Creeps

Starring: Jason Lively, Steve Marshall, Jill Whitlow, Tom Atkins, Wally Taylor, Bruce Solomon

An immensely fun creature feature from director Fred Dekker (The Monster Squad), Night of the Creeps takes on the charmed premise of taking Animal House and turning all the frat boys into zombies controlled by alien brain slugs. With the biggest party night of the year in chaos and all of the jocks in town turned into the living dead, only a buttoned up indoor kid (Jason Lively of Rusty Griswold fame) and a drunk, wiseass detective (Tom Atkins of being awesome in everything he’s in fame) can stop the slugs, kill the jocks and save the girls on Sorority Row.

Get your guns ready, cause it’s Miller time.

Leprechaun

Starring: Warwick Davis, Jennifer Aniston, Ken Olandt

Spend St. Patrick’s Day with Nitehawk and one evil LEPRECHAUN!

In the first of the infamous film franchise, Willow’s Warwick Davis play a super evil Leprechaun who’s come all the way from Ireland to South Dakota to get his gold back from thieving Dan O’Grady but winds up locked in a basement. Cut to ten years later and the new tenants (one of whom is Jennifer Aniston in her film debut) unknowingly let the sucker out. The killing spree and terrorizing that ensues can only be stopped by a four leaf clover. Whether these friends have the luck of the Irish or their luck runs out one this is for sure, never, ever steal a Leprechaun’s pot of gold.
