After watching Christian Bale's Bruce Walne in this sumrner's BATMAN BEGINS, all we could wonder was how long it would be before that billionaire playboy totally lost it md started chopping up his memies. Bale may have started his joumey into ou collective consciousness in NEWSIES and Sl{lNG I(D$ but it was his brilliant performance as the title clraracter of Brett Easton Ellis' novel about the corporate greed culture of the 1980s that launched him towards icon status. As Patrick Batemar is mdone by the societal pressures aromd him and
eventually finds that cuiting up othen is his only way of really cutting loose, the audience is left to wonder just where the lines really are when everyone around you is obsessed with clawing their way to the top.

Since 2001 the Alamo Drafthouse has been hosting a unique series of exploitation classics culled from private collections, abandoned warehouses, even dumpsters. We present a peerless selection of horror, sexploitation, action and more, mostly from'the golden era of the'60s and'70s. Many of the films are so obscure that little or nothing has ever been written about them. Some of them are bad,all of them are enjoyable,and a rare few are mind-blowingly amazing. Best of all, it's absolutely free, We think of it as a community service for jaded film fans, a heaven-sent escape from the crushing lameness of the realworld,

to an alarming degree. Here at Alamo headquarters we're working around the clock to remedy that, Regular Weird
Wednesday patrons show a baseline sleaze deprivation index of zero. But if any of you out there need a supercharged speedball of sleaze to ensure that you are protected for the next six months or so, we prescribe this utterly unsavory masterpiece of depravity. lt s Sade's "Justine" plot again with luscious Candice Rialson, who looks exactly like Malibu Barbie,finding herself in some seriously kinky and compromi5ing situations. Rialson is great but top acting honors have

to go to Ed Bishop, of the cult TV show UF0, who plays a "collector of beautiful things". He has a couple of long ranting speeches that are priceless and worth the price of admission alone, ifthere were a price of admission. (Lars)

brothel run by Diana Dors,where every night the girls put on unbelievable stage shows featuring body paint and bizane allegorical dance numbers, lt's one of the most visually arresting sex films ever. The psychedelic stage sequences are amazing and the women, including Christina Lindberg of THEY CALL HER 0NE EYE, are stunning, But the real revdlation here is Diana Dortan over-the-hill British actress who specialized in dumb blonde and nympho roles.

(1971 d. Al Adamson) This August we commemorate the ten year anniversary of the untimely death of director Al Adamson (CARNIVAL MAGIC, FREEZE BOMB) The story of his death is as badly lit and difficult to

understand as one of his films itself, but we know that a contractor working on his horne killed him and entombed him in his own hot tub. That's some cold blooded shit, And it probably deprived the world of at ieast two or tluee more amazing and bizarre fihns of the sort that only he could make. But lei's not linger over his sad demise. Instead we'd likelo present the film that put him on the map. A film that served notice to the world that here is a man who makes fihns like no other: ridiculously cheap, barely comprehensible, but always a lot of fun. Possibly his greatest asset as a filmmaker was his total obliviousness. Al Adamson made movies like o1d people

a[led 8/3;945nm

of hvo boys growing up in a small town in Kansas in the 1980's and early 90's. One, Brian Lackey (played first by George Webster and then in his late teenage years by Brady Corbet), believes that the nightrnares and nosebleeds that afflict him throughout adolescence are results of an alien abduction that occuned in the summer of i981, when he was a shy, frail 8-year-old. That same summer, Neil McCormick (Chase Ellison, and later, Joseph Gordon-Levitt) was molested by his Little League coach (8i11 Sage). From the beginning, we suspect a connection between the boys' experiences, and part o{ the film's nanative momentum comes fiom their rediscovery of each other after 10 years. Its subject matter may be grim - but MYSTERIOUS SKIN is infused with remarkable tendemess and beauty. These are not words you usually associate with this director, whose previous fiLns - including THE LMNG END, THE DOOM GENERATION and one whose title I cannot quote here - often valued shock over feeling and provocation over compassion. What those movies did have, sometimes to a faulf was a fea-rless, rrckless honesty that Mr Araki has not lost, even as he has acquired a deeper sense of story character and emotion. MYSTERIOUS SKIN is the work of a onetime bad boy who has grown up without losing his ardent syrnpathv for the rvildness of youth. It's aiso one of the best movies I've seen so far this year (A.O. Scott, New York Times)

(2005 d. Park Chan-Wook, 120 min., R) Vengeance dominates the modern action cinema but to be a

of arf a revenge film needs to give you something more than your sadisiic jollies. It needs to show the cost of revenge to the revengeq, to innocent bystanders, and to society-which can't survive iI injustice goes unpunished but also can't survive if individuals routinely take matters into their own hands. I have found my #eat vengeance director now in Park Chan-Wook, whose OLDBOY won the Grand ]ury Prize at the 2004 Cannes Fihn Festival. Before we have the faintest idea what's going on, we meet Oh Dae-Su (Chor Min-Sik), an ordinary Seoul businessman in the throes of an epic bender on his young daughter's birthday: The jump-cuts as he raves in the police station capture his fractured perception and portend the horror to come. Released Oh Dae-Su staggers into the rainy mghf phones his daughtel, and then disappearsending up in another prisor; a private one in which {ood is shoved tluough a hole in a door and sleeping gas pours in ttuou$ the vents. He screams and bangs on the door: I{hy is he there? Oh Dae-Su learns from a TV set that his wile has been murdered and ihat his blood and hair were Iound at the scene. He has been framed-but by whom? He slices into his arm to mark each passing year, and there are 15 slices b'efore he wakes to find himsell on the roof holding a man by the tie. Obviously, this sort of taboo-flouting imagery isn't for everyone, but Parks vision is ali of a piece. He came of age in a period of South Korean upheavaf and in his work there's a pervasive distrust oI authority combined with a pervasive lack of faith

in individuals-most of whom appear to have been warped beyond salvation by an unstable society. OLDBOY is a movie where you think you're in hell from the first frame-but have no inkling of the
infemal circles to come. It says the only thing worse than noi getting revenge is

Dawn has put an end to the almanac of bummers that was her lile by committing suicidg and an insensitive comment by her sister Missy leads Aviv4 their achingly irmecure i3-year-old cousin, t0 fret that she's headed down a sirnilar path. Alter the funeral, Aviva's well-meaning but scarily blinkered mother (Ellen Barkin) hies to comfort her by poinhng out the differences between the girl and her cousin: Dawn's parents didn't love heq, and maybe she snouldn't have grown obese, or avoided the dermatologist. Solondz has always ihallenged facile moral judgments by rooting around in the darkest, dankest crevices of humanity. In his fifth feature, he emerges clutching a grand unifying theory of human behavior in his fist and drops the whoie fatalistic bag ol cheese on your lap. PALINDROMES may be his darkest movie yet. (Carina Chocano, LA Times)

D Walter Stokman 2005 7 Smin. BETA SP
On a hot aftemoon in the dog days of August 1972, one John Wojtowitz gathered together two accomplicrs fmm the sheets of Brooklyn md staged a daring bank robbery to raise money {or his male lover's sex change operation. In the face of overwhelming odds and poignant incompetence the three succeeded in failing so well that a movie was made. Sidney Lumefs DOG DAY AFTERNOON featured one of Al Pacino's best performances and made millioru for all concemed. That is, except the mastemind of dre odginal affab Mr. Wojtowita who was left to cool his heels in the big house md watch the world go by. BASED ON A TRln STORY exmines the real people md events that inspired the 1975 film. Archival news footage, plus intewiews with hostages, police officers, and FBI agents capture the chaotic 14-hour standoff, but the director's recorded phone conversations with threatening, delusional convicted felon John Wojtowicz m the centerpiece o{ tlrc domentary.
