Well ladies and gentleman, it’s that time of the month again. That’s right---movie night. Please join me and the hubby for a spectacular double feature event this Sunday, January 10, 2010.
The evening’s first film will be Todd Hayne’s notorious first short feature, Superstar: The Karen Carpenter Story (1987) which tells the tragic tale of singing sweetheart Karen Carpenter and her eating disorder told via Barbie dolls. It goes without saying that there is no corresponding thematic meal that really does something like anorexia justice, so in honor of our first feature, we will serve Karen Carpenter Cocktails. Yes, these cocktails will be tooled specifically for the purposes of dieting and slenderizing.

And our second feature will be horror director Ti West’s (The Roost, 2005) latest effort, The House of the Devil, which has enjoyed considerable festival acclaim. Released in extremely limited release in late October, come see the lauded horror film before the DVD release. The House of the Devil tells the tale of Samantha Hughes, a college student in the 1980’s that takes a strange babysitting job during a lunar eclipse, only to discover her employer’s plot to use her in a satanic ritual. Oh shit! Starring Jocelin Donahue (whom you might recognize if you caught The Burrowers, 2008) the film also features Mumblecore alum Greta Gerwig (Baghead, 2008) and 80’s horror icon Dee Wallace, that lovely woman from classics like The Howling (1981), E.T. (1982), Cujo (1983) and Critters (1986). And how could this not be appropriate without Devil’s Food Cake?

"Talk on the phone. Finish your homework. Watch TV. DIE!" What in the Hell does that mean?
ReplyDeleteThe least caloric alcoholic beverage I can think of would be flavored vodka mixed with diet soda/tonic.
The House of the Devil has an 87% on Rottten Tomatoes - that's good enough for me!
