Creep into the Halloween season with The Deuce and the looney-bin bizarre-ity of THE BOOGEY MAN! (that’s 2 words!) The scars of childhood trauma fester in the befuddled minds of their grown brother and sister adult selves.. awakened by the “magic mirror” that “witnessed” said trauma! Forcing seemingly well-adjusted sister Lacy and weird brother (weird) Willy (played by real-life sibs!) to come to terms with their troubled past… Trippy! Tense! Totally wack-a-doo!
The “most famous” in a string of strange and stranger films from Fassbinder alumn Ulli Lommel and his through-the-eighties collaborator/muse/wife, DuPont-heiress Suzanna Love… Disregard any naysaying about this nutty little nugget – you’ll (Suzanna) love it just like those lungers lounging around Times Square’s decrepit Anco Theater did!
Starring: Peter Weller, Jennifer Dale, Lawrence Dane
This November, The Deuce has a special furry feast in store for YOU! And it’s OF UNKNOWN ORIGIN! Peter Weller finds he’s got a pesky problem in his picture-perfect (possibly supposedly Water Street-located) brownstone while the fam’s away on vacay… and the more bothersome it becomes, the more ballistic the boy gets! Bonkers!!
Basically, it’s Robocop versus a rat!! Not a “monster rat” nor a “mutant rat” – not a rat “possessed by the devil” – or even a necessarily “evil” rat.. just your average, big fat wily rat… THAT CAN’T BE GOT RID OF!! Imagine the REALISM to be had for the lucky Times Square Cine 42 viewers trying to avoid the theater’s own “wildlife” scurrying underfoot!
Starring: Anthony Michael Hall, Jenny Wright, Jeff Kober, Glynn Turman

Day one of Iowa rube Daryl (Anthony Michael Hall) arriving in Los Angeles to live with his brother, he mistakes a drug dealer’s suitcase for his own, and then becomes the prime suspect when brother and girlfriend are found murdered. With his parents unreachable and nowhere to turn, he begs for help from Dizz (Jenny Wright, the adorable Mae from Near Dark), a punk scenester who helps him dodge police while also tracking down his brother’s killer.
Anthony Michael Hall broke free from the John Hughes bubble to star in this thriller, apparently turning down dork-typecast roles in Ferris Bueller’s Day Off and Pretty in Pink. Though its hard-to-fathom plot may be why it was banished to obscurity, Out of Bounds is a fun movie that portrays LA as neon grimy, and features a club scene performance by Siouxsie and the Banshees.
Starring: Christian Bale, Margot Robbie, John David Washington, Chris Rock, Anya Taylor-Joy, Zoe Saldana, Mike Myers, Taylor Swift, Robert De Niro
Set in the ’30s, Amsterdam follows three friends who witness a murder, become suspects themselves, and uncover one of the most outrageous plots in American history.

A raunchy, gory thrill ride where slimy beasts and gratuitous T&A fill the screen from start to finish. Basically a Corman remake of his own PIRANHA but with monster suits, HUMANOIDS has sleazy fun value — with a slam-bang climax featuring an entire town trashed by marauding fishfolk.
Featuring beloved genre stalwarts Vic Morrow and Doug McClure, and with SFX from Rob Bottin (THE THING) and Chris Walas (THE FLY), seeing is believing as the salmon are definitely coming home to spawn!

We begin our journey through Spike Lee’s New York in Bed-Stuy, with his most well known and well regarded film, DO THE RIGHT THING.
Inspired by a heat-fueled episode of ALFRED HITCHCOCK PRESENTS, as well as the racially motivated attack of Michael Griffith in Howard Beach, and the murder of Eleanor Bumpurs at the hands of the police, Spike’s Oscar nominated screenplay blends a larger than life theatrical sensibility with the many harsh systemic realities that continue to torment Black Americans everyday. The film possesses the unique ability to incite anger, laughter, sadness, and the constant feeling of sweltering heat all in swift succession during its two hour runtime.
DO THE RIGHT THING also features incredible performances across the board from many of Spike’s classic repertory of players, along with reliably distinct work from cinematographer Ernest Dickerson, and one of the most iconic opening credits sequences in modern cinematic history. This classic film and its influence will always be felt, and forever stitched into the fabric of Black culture.
