malevolent turn as his ultimate plan comes to bear, igniting a
series of increasingly maddening and menacing events.

miracle, Tore is invited back to his home and becomes friendly
with him, his wife and two kids. Before long, Tore moves in
and gradually becomes part of his family. However, Benno cant
resist playing a cruel game, designed to challenge Tores beliefs.
As his trials become more and more extreme, Tore fnds his

ENTER THE DRAGON (1973)
Staf pick of Tyisha!
Robert Clouse directs Lee in what would sadly be his last
completed feature flm role before his untimely and mysterious
death in 1973. Te result is a spectre of the cinema, a towering,
wholly breathtaking persona who resonates onscreen with
vibrancy and vitality, supported by co-stars John Saxon (Roper)
and Jim Kelly (Williams). Lee goes undercover by way of an
invitation to a martial arts tournament on a secluded island,
hosted by an unsavory, suspected crime boss. As Lee discovers
an underbelly of corruption and prostitution, his cover is blown
and two fellow tournament competitors (Roper and Williams)
must fght not for sport, but instead for survival.
LET ME OUT (1983)
Staf pick of Carlos!
Everyone knows the iconic image of Tony Montana, whether he
is brandishing his little friend or smeared over with cocaine.
It is easy to forget that there is a major movie here that lives
up to the hype, with Oliver Stone in top form as screenwriter
and director Brian De Palma painting a bloody portrait like no
other. Al Pacino stars as the Cuban exile who quickly moves
up the ranks of a drug cartel, displacing its leader while also
seducing his woman. Te wealth and power come with costs,
and soon Tony fnds those he cared for most to be lost to him.
Tings get nastier as he tries to stay at the top.

BLUES BROTHERS (1980)
A free-wheeling, drug-fueled smash-em-up of music, comedy
and action, this is a movie that spits at boundaries and labels.
Its refuses to be caged and smashes through expectations with
every scene change. John Belushi and Dan Akroyd star as Jake
and Elwood Blues, two brothers on a mission from God to
save their old Catholic orphanage the only way they know how:
by putting their old band back together performing a charity
gig. Along the way, they dodge lawmen of every kind, neo-
Nazis, and crazy ex-girlfriends.
BUTCH CASSIDY AND
THE SUNDANCE KID (1969)
Despite only co-starring in two flms together, its pretty easy
to think of Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a deeply
entrenched pair. Te two established in a short time the type
of chemistry some franchise co-stars spend sequels trying to
cultivate. As a pair of outlaws, dedicated to each other as they
were their desire for riches, Newman and Redford perfectly
compliment each other. Amiable nice guys who just happen to
wield guns, the two are the nicest criminals you could ever hope
to fnd yourself in a standof with.
Cinema Cocktails:

con back and forth thats both intelligent and absolutely idiotic
at the same time.

INDIANA JONES

photo together.
TOMMY BOY QUOTE-ALONG (1995)
Tere have been other comedies since this movie was frst
released, but none of them have managed to oust the words of
Tommy Callahan Jr., adorably idiotic man child, from the top
of my vocabulary. And then theres the deliciously deadpan wit
of David Spade, who plays Richard, Tommys coworker and
reluctant babysitter. If mockery is a science, then Richards jibes
at Tommy (Did I catch a niner in there? Were you calling from
a walkie talkie?) should have earned him the Nobel Prize.
Together, Spade and Farley made up one of the most hilarious
duos in the history of cinema, and well celebrate them at this
special Action Pack screening by quoting along with all of our
favorite lines
WAYNES WORLD QUOTE-ALONG (1992)
Youll laugh, youll cry... youll hurl. You know the story -- two
slacker friends have a local cable access show that gets picked
up for professional broadcast and things get awesome....NOT!
Wayne falls for the majorly babelicious bass-playing Tia Carrere,
while the slimy Rob Lowe tries to steal her away. Meanwhile,
Garth sha-wings his way into the arms of a truly Foxy Lady, and
then there are all sorts of diferent endings!
