For those of you in the Boston area, there is some way cool stuff coming to the Coolidge Corner Theater in Brookline. Here are some highlights:

  • 7/21 (Friday @ midnight)- The Bird with the Crystal Plumage
  • 8/4 (Friday @ midnight)- The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3
  • 9/4 (Labor Day @ 7 pm)- Jaws
  • 9/8 (Friday @ midnight)- The Warriors
  • 10/14 (Saturday @ midnight)- Suspiria It’s an uncut 35mm Italian print they found in a shutdown theater. The visuals in this movie are like Snow White on acid. It’s pretty trip.
These are all 35mm prints. Coolidge Corner does a great job with these films. I'm a big fan. I will be going to all of these.

Love Pelham! Such a great ensemble piece and snapshot of my beloved NYC in the 1970s. Suspiria is a classic of Italian cinema giallo. Enjoy!

Yes, Suspiria is pretty awesome. I'm looking forward to that one. The print they are screening was just found in the basement of a shutdown theater in Italy. It's an Italian language un-cut print that's only been run a few times. Should look outstanding.

New and cool at Coolidge Corner:

11/18- Creepshow
12/3- The Fog

These are part of an Adrienne Barbeau retrospective. The Coolidge Corner theater is giving her an award. She will be there in person during the 12/2 show to accept!

Other cool stuff at Coolidge this week include a Carrie / Christine double feature as well as Pet Symetary screening Halloween night.

Their annual Halloween Marathon is tomorrow night (10/28). It’s a 12 hour deal starting at midnight. They announce the first two and the rest are a surprise. This year the two announced movies are Night of the Living Dead & Zombi.

I’m going to the shows in November and December. Don’t have the stamina for the marathon. Maybe if I knew the whole roster for the night I’d do it.

Saw Jaws at my favorite indie-theater (Coolidge Corner) on Labor Day! Total blast! They even had a scar contest!

Seeing Magnum Force there on 9/22/2018!

Now there is something really cool coming up in November:

Claudio Simonetti's Goblin Performs Suspiria

I may be going to this. The soundtrack is pretty awesome so it would be cool to see it performed live.
