Director Richard Donner In-person for LETHAL WEAPON 30th Anniversary Screening on October 24 at the Ahrya Fine Arts

October 12, 2017 by Lamb L.

Laemmle Theatres and the Anniversary Classics Series present a 30th anniversary screening of LETHAL WEAPON, the hyperkinetic buddy cop movie that launched an enormously popular franchise.

LETHAL WEAPON (1987)
Q&A with Director Richard Donner
Tuesday, October 24, at 7:30 PM
at the Ahrya Fine Arts
Click here for tickets

Mel Gibson and Danny Glover star as cops who are polar opposites but are forced to work together to break up a deadly drug ring. Gibson plays a reckless, undisciplined, suicidal detective who is paired with a cautious family man, played by Glover.

Screenwriter Shane Black brought a fresh twist to the thriller genre with these unexpected characterizations, and Richard Donner directed with energy and finesse.

Gary Busey and Mitchell Ryan portray the villains, and Darlene Love and Traci Wolfe co-star. Joel Silver produced the film.

The Washington Post called the film—a box office smash in 1987–“a vivid, visceral reminder of how exciting an action film can be.”

Roger Ebert declared, “This movie thrilled me from beginning to end,” and his critical confrere, Gene Siskel, added, “Gibson and Glover make a great team.” Three sequels and a TV series followed.

After starting in television, Richard Donner scored his first big-screen success with a low-budget horror movie, The Omen. He then launched the comic book film craze with Superman in 1978, which introduced Christopher Reeve as the Man of Steel. Donner’s many other films include the three Lethal Weapon sequels, Inside Moves, Ladyhawke, The Goonies, Scrooged, and Conspiracy Theory.

MANSFIELD 66/67 with THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT + WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER October 25-November 2 at the Ahrya Fine Arts Theater

October 11, 2017 by Lamb L.

Laemmle Theatres joins FilmBuff, The Ebersole Hughes Company, and Vintage Los Angeles for the opening night premiere of MANSFIELD 66/67, featuring the directors P. David Ebersole and Todd Hughes with special guests. Scheduled to appear: AJ Benza, Richmond Arquette, Mary Woronov, Donna Loren, Alison Martino and more! October 25 premiere seating is limited and tickets are $20 each.

MANSFIELD 66/67 is about the last two years of movie goddess Jayne Mansfield’s life, and the rumor that her untimely death was caused by a curse after her alleged romantic dalliance with Anton LaVey, head of the Church of Satan.

Welcome to MANSFIELD 66/67, a true story based on rumor and hearsay, where classic documentary interviews (including John Waters, Kenneth Anger, Dolly Read, Tippi Hedren, Mamie Van Doren, AJ Benza, Marilyn, Peaches Christ, Mary Woronov, Susan Bernard and more) and archival materials are blended with wild dance numbers, performance art and animation (voiced by Ann Magnuson and Richmond Arquette), elevating a tabloid tale of a fallen Hollywood idol into a celebration of the mythical proportions of a true original we can’t help but live to love more each day.

We open the film for a week-long engagement at the Fine Arts on Friday, October 27th and will also screen two Mansfield classics, THE GIRL CAN’T HELP IT from October 27th – 29th and WILL SUCCESS SPOIL ROCK HUNTER? on October 28 and 29.

Yôko Yamanaka’s second feature follows a 21-year-old Japanese woman with erratic humor as she ghosts one boyfriend after another. A beautician with little commitment to her work and no real desire to achieve anything, she burns every bridge, accumulating broken hearts in her wake. "Yuumi Kawai is immediately magnetic…Yamanaka’s work defies binaries… The film and its lead feel[s] pulsatingly alive." ~ Variety #DesertOfNamibia #WorldwideWednesdays #yokoyamanaka #yuumikawaii #山中瑶子 #河合優実
