| Gobble gobble hey! MADCAP Theaters, Mill Avenue’s hippest movie mecca, announces its cornucopia of celluloid for Turkey Month! The theaters are located at730 S. Mill Avenue, Tempe (northwest corner of Mill & University). THURSDAY-SATURDAY NOV. 5-7 Range Life Film Festival This traveling showcase of indie productions checks into MADCAP for a three-day indie mini-fest "designed to connect communities, empower creative minds, and rejuvenate film exhibition and education." Translation? A great opportunity to see a handful of primo alt-cinema that’s not ever going to show up within a mile of a corporate chain multiplex. Last Cup: The Road to the World Series of Beer Pong (2008) Who needs 2 Girls 1 Cup when you’ve got many guys, lots of cups, much beer and wall-to-wall drunkenness? A foam-flecked documentary that does for beer pong what Hoop Dreams did for basketball. White on Rice (2009) A 40 year-old slacker muddles through life and comic cross-cultural calamity in the film festival howler that’s been likened to an Asian-American Napoleon Dynamite. Assassination of a High School President (2008) Mischa Barton and Bruce Willis go the Brick route in a shaggy teen noir tale set at Hard-Boiled High. Anywhere USA (2008) One film, three stories and a handful of the quirkiest characters to ever trudge across American turf munching pot brownies and like that. Box Elder (2008) Food- and beer-motivated couch surfers do the guy thing in a lay about laff riot that critics have hailed as “Slacker bliss!” and “Animal House meets Clerks!” $8 Students, $10 Regular Admission Thursday, November 5, 7pm - White on Rice Friday, November 6, 7pm - Anywhere USA, 9pm - Last Cup Saturday, November 7, 7pm - Assassination of a High School President, 9pm - Box Elder FRIDAY NOV. 6 Poultrygeist: Night of the Chicken Dead (2006) Dung ho! Troma Entertainment (Toxic Avenger) continues to rule the Grade Z cinema roost with this critically-acclaimed turkey involving gizzards, gore and guffaws set in and around a fried chicken franchise. . . built on a haunted Indian burial ground! Original or extra crispy, this nutzoid bucket o’ blood is just the recipe for another whacked-out Troma classic. $8, times TBA. FRIDAY NOV. 13 (Black Friday) The Room (2003) There’s always Room for one more in the unintentionally hilarious art house howler that’s become the surprise audience-participation cult hit of the 21st century. Tommy Wiseau fans of the world, unite! Teenage Mother (1966) Return to the swingin’ Sixties when the idea of a high school sex ed class, $10-a-bag pot, graphic birth-of -a-baby footage and a very young Fred Willard in a straight role as the coach were enough to send adolescent drive-in movie-goers into backseats in full-blown reproductive mode! The Room, 9 pm, $7 (Also shows on Saturday November 14) Teenage Mother, 11 pm, $7 (Also shows on Saturday November 14) (Double feature, $10) SATURDAY NOV. 21 Ghostbusters (1984) Who ya gonna call? The one, the only, the original! See the comedy spooktacular again on the big screen during a 25th anniversary screening before Hollywood louses it up with the unnecessary remake/sequel now on the drawing boards. (And do your bit for charity by posing for a souvenir photograph with the costumed Arizona Ghostbusters fund-raising troupe before each screening.) 7 & 9:20 pm, $8 THURSDAY NOV. 26 (THANKSGIVING) DAWN-TO-DUSK 12-HOUR MOVIE MARATHON!!! Blow out the post-turkey dinner tryptophan with 12 solid hours of cinema pot luck, MADCAP style! The non-stop feast of filmic delights includes six full-length features (a “mystery” menu heavy on the horror, comedy and action-adventure) as well as tasty trailers and other fun fixin’s! Runs continuously from 7 pm to 7am. $15 TICKETS FOR MARATHON ARE AVAILABLE ONLY ONLINE AND WILL NOT BE SOLD AT THE DOOR! |
