Thanks to our buddies Kings County Cinema Society for suggesting this awesome screening.
From the site:
Presenting a hot 25th anniversary summer screening of CRIMEWAVE, Sam Raimi’s 1985 followup to EVIL DEAD. Written by his former roommates the Coen Brothers (cameo-ing in the event photo), CRIMEWAVE is an antic blood pudding of Three Stooges gags, pitch-black comedy, film noir and vaudevillian slapstick.
CRIMEWAVE is both Raimi and the Coens’ first trip into the world of big-time boffo filmmaking, and when the film was fiddled with by its backers, both halves shunned the end product. Hence CRIMEWAVE is not available on US DVD. Irregardless, it’s a must-see for fans of either ouvre; there’s not a frame of daylight between the overlapping visions, and several set pieces – especially revolving around Bruce Campbell’s character of Reynaldo “The Heel” – are delicious, juicy cinema carne.
The movie screens with a classic short by Rene Laloux (FANTASTIC PLANET) and a brand-spanking new one: Mallory Lance and Evan Husney’s action-packed SECRET OPS. Come sit in BFP’s cozy air-conditioned theatre and drink beer with us on a hot Wednesday night.
