Read about the history of our series THE DEUCE and its 100th screening at Screen Slate

The Deuce has your hearts in mind this Valentine season – and is going to break them with HOLLYWOOD 90028! Mark and Michele don’t exactly “meet cute” but find semi-solace in each other as two like, lonely lost souls struggling to get by – adrift in the seedy underbelly of early 70s LA… pouring their hearts out – their hopes and fears – like water from an overflowing well… he a wanna-be “cinematographer” wiling away shooting low-end porn with dreams of “getting somewhere” – she already knowing her porno-present has no future – nothing left to dream for… the bigger difference being: Mark is also a murderer!!

The sole feature freak-show from female director Christina Hornisher (billed here as “Craig Hansen”) plays more like a proto-feminist psychodrama than the grindhouse nudie-horror-thriller it’s (un) dressed up to be – subverting genre expectations at every head-scratching turn as it twists its meandering way under your creeped-out skin! With a beautiful original poster evocative of Freud and Michael Powell’s Peeping Tom – the zip-coded 1973-lensed conundrum baffled and bopped around drive-ins unnoticed before finally finding its way to the slack-jawed end-of-the-Seventies burn-outs of the Deuce’s Liberty Theatre under the more titillating title: THE HOLLYWOOD HILLSIDE STRANGLER… Many wept – as it’s a tale that hits close to home even a country-length and near-decade (now half-century) away… Everyone lives alone… will we die alone, too? See it with someone you trust – see it with The Deuce!

Starring: Phoebe Cates, Betsy Russell, Matthew Modine, Ray Walston, Sylvia Kristel

This March, The Deuce takes you back to school – PRIVATE SCHOOL – for some lessons in love… and lust!  Whether smoking in the schoolyard and mocking authority figures, making fools of the drooling horn-toad Freemont School boys, or aerobicizing to the strains of Rick Springfield’s “The American Girl,” the sassy-lassies of ‘Cherryvale School for Girls’ will win your hearts! They OWN this movie!! Ribald! Raucous! Rebellious! Rambunctious!! With a little bit of some Betty/Veronica/Archie/Jughead dynamics sprinkled in the mix… And even able to slip in some unexpected emotional sincerity and heartfelt romance into its juvenile morass of horny-hijinks and cross-dressing shenanigans!!

Titillated teens kept PRIVATE SCHOOL at the Times Square Theatre – and on the Deuce – for over a year – mostly doubled with Cates’s FAST TIMES AT RIDGEMONT HIGH – making Phoebe the unheralded screen-queen of early Eighties 42nd Street… and she sings TWO SONGS in this one!

Starring: Channing Tatum, Salma Hayek, Caitlin Gerard, Gavin Spokes, Ayub Khan-Din

“Magic” Mike Lane (Channing Tatum) takes to the stage again after a lengthy hiatus, following a business deal that went bust, leaving him broke and taking bartender gigs in Florida. For what he hopes will be one last hurrah, Mike heads to London with a wealthy socialite (Salma Hayek) who lures him with an offer he can’t refuse… and an agenda all her own. With everything on the line, once Mike discovers what she truly has in mind, will he–and the roster of hot new dancers he’ll have to whip into shape–be able to pull it off?

Starring: Brendan Fraser, Sadie Sink, Hong Chau, Ty Simpkins, Samantha Morton

A reclusive English teacher suffering from severe obesity attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.

When an old wealthy man suddenly dies in flagrante delicto, his lover Rebecca Carlson is charged with his murder. Blunt about their robustly kinky sex life, she is believed to have taken advantage of his fragile health in order to collect on his fortune, left to her in his will. She easily convinces lawyer Frank Dulaney (Willem Dafoe) of her innocence, and he agrees to represent her. Her allure is undeniable, and he can’t help but sample what she has to offer, professional ethics be damned.

Another delectable exercise in excess from producer Dino De Laurentiis, Body of Evidence is fully Madonna’s show; she’s at the height of her powers, so as ridiculous as the movie can get, one can’t help but marvel at the audacity.
