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: Natives of the Wild – who have never seen a motion picture… Wild Beasts – who have never had to fear a modern rifle… and – The Jungle…
This April, let The Deuce take you back to a time when movie theaters were Palaces – when entertainment had a capital “E” – and when Thailand was SIAM! Travel to a time long changed in CHANG: A DRAMA OF THE WILDERNESS!! The perils and pitfalls of Jungle life as experienced by Kru and his family (all native Laotians – there are no “actors” in this film!) – confronting and tenuously “mastering” the untamed environment and fearsome wild animals (not actor-animals either!) that stalk the rain forest in which they’ve built their stilted home! (Maybe not ALL the animals are so fearful – Kru’s son, Nah, does have a best-buddy monkey named Bimbo…) Leopards on your lap! Tigers on your tail! Monkeys on your back!! CHANG puts YOU in places you’ve never been and will never want to leave! Mighty! Exciting! Flaming! Fierce! Thrilling! Fascinating! CHANG!! “The producers have requested newspaper writers not to reveal the meaning of the word “Chang”.” Discover for yourself as the enthralled audience of Times Square’s Rivoli Theatre did for the first time back in 1929!
Before unleashing King Kong into the world – directors Cooper and Schoedsack made docu-drama-adventure films as far away from Hollywood as could be imagined – travelling, living, and filming in remotest regions of “exotic” edens such as Persia, Siam, and Sumatra – often at the precarious peril of their own lives… What they brought back from these “unseen lands” thrilled audiences with realism, glimpses into the unknown and the bravado by which they were made – which was readily apparent upon the screen… and now The Deuce brings that thrill to YOU! Because we’re adventurous!!
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: Allison Williams, Violet McGraw, Ronny Chieng, Brian Jordan Alvarez
M3GAN is a marvel of artificial intelligence, a life-like doll programmed to be a child’s greatest companion and a parent’s greatest ally. Designed by brilliant toy-company roboticist Gemma, M3GAN can listen and watch and learn as she becomes friend and teacher, playmate and protector, for the child she is bonded to. When Gemma suddenly becomes the caretaker of her orphaned 8-year-old niece, Cady, Gemma’s unsure and unprepared to be a parent. Under intense pressure at work, Gemma decides to pair her M3GAN prototype with Cady in an attempt to resolve both problems–a decision that will have unimaginable consequences.
In 2006 CBGB, the most famous rock club in the world, closed its doors forever. Everybody associated it with bands such as Blondie, The Ramones and The Talking Heads, but no one remembers that what made it legendary were the hardcore matinées in the 80s.
Walter Schreifels, of several influential NYC hardcore punk bands, tells us a story not only about some kids and their music but of New York and its changes, too.
