Sorry to miss yesterday's post, Stockhaz! That's what a birthday dinner will do to you the next day. Ongoing series this last Monday of August '13 include Anthology Film Archives' That's Sexploitation! and Film Forum's massive Son Of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror. The complete lineup as follows;

Film Forum

THE SERVANT (1963) Dir; Joseph Losey

TERMINATOR 2: JUDGMENT DAY (1991) Dir; James Cameron

THE UNKNOWN (1927) Dir; Tod Browning

Anthology Film Archives

Nitrate Stock is pleased to present this new feature, which asks friends, readers and fellow film aficionados to provide their choice for the month's most unmissable flick.

Yeeeeeeehaw!!!

So begins the rousing chorus in the opening credits to "2000 Maniacs" (sung by the director himself, not because he could sing, but because it was cheaper than hiring someone).

Summer 2013's definitely not going out with a whimper, at least not on the rep sreening circuit. Continuing series today include BAM's A Time For Burning; Cinema of the Civil Rights Movement, the J. Hoberman curated Fun City: New York in the Movies 1967-75 over at Astoria's Museum of the Moving Image, Anthology Film Archives' dual tribs to Russ Meyer in particular (The Glandscape Artist) and the grindhouse softcore genre of the 60's in general (That's Sexploitation!), and Film Forum's massive Son of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror!

LOTS going on today in the world of rep cinema screenings. Ongoing series include Film Forum's massive yet soon to wind down Son of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror fest, MoMA's Auteurist History of Film series, and Anthology Film Archives' collective Hallelloo to the godfather of the Nudie Cuties, the gloriously batshit Russ Meyer. The lineup today as follows;

Film Forum

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1956) Dir; Don Siegel

THE SERVANT (1963) Dir; Joseph Losey

INVASION OF THE BODY SNATCHERS (1978) Dir; Phil Kaufman

Film Forum's Son of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror series blazes forth, the Film Society's Werner Herzog trib at Lincoln Center gets weirder, and Anthology Film Archives' genuflection toward the original nudie merchants (including one Russ Meyer) heats up. The lineup today as follows;

Film Forum

STRAIT-JACKET (1964) Dir: William Castle

THE SERVANT (1963) Dir: Joseph Losey

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE? (1962) Dir: Robert Aldrich

MoMa

SHADOWS (1959) Dir: John Cassavettes

Alfred Hitchcock's PSYCHO kicks the day in rep screening off as part of Film Forum's ode to film geek joy, the Son of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror series!

Film Forum gets the day in rep screening begun with its Son Of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror series. The Kaiju classic MOTHRA, a cautionary tale warning of the potential perils faced whence a pair of Barbie doll-sized birdcaged chicks kick off a duet, celebrates the gleeful destruction of major Japanese cities all day today.

Michelangelo Antonioni's L'AVVENTURA, the film that made the director's name on the world cinema stage, screens for the second of its three day run as part of MoMA's excellent Auteurist History of Film series.

Today's rep cinema shenanigans begin at Film Forum as their Son of Summer Sci-Fi, Fantasy and Horror series unspools William Cameron Menzies' INVADERS FROM MARS, Kurt Neumann's KRONOS and Nicolas Roeg's

The Museum of the Moving Image in Astoria kicks off the day in rep film screenings with Francis Ford Coppola's studio debut YOU'RE A BIG BOY NOW and acting great Ossie Davis' directorial debut COTTON COMES TO HARLEM.
