You probably already know we’re hosting a Friday The 13th mini-marathon on Friday, September 13th at the Aero Theater in Santa Monica. Now I can announce that Part 3 will indeed be screened in 3D (red and blue anaglyph). We also have some great guests coming out! Mark Swift (co-writer of Freddy Vs. Jason and Friday The 13th 2009) will be onhand to help me introduce Part 2 and Todd Farmer (writer of Jason X, Drive Angry and My Bloody Valentine 3D) is gonna come on down and help intro Part 3. In addition, we’re also working on getting a SPECIAL guest introduction for Part 1… but you’ll just have to come down for yourself and see what happens.
The whole thing starts at 5PM – there will be a little bit of a street scene outside the theater and you’re welcome to come dressed as your favorite franchise character. There will be food trucks, prizes for costumes and trivia. The FIRST FILM will start at 730 PM and we’ll keep going until we’re done. The whole thing is only $13 (you can buy the tickets here)!
Again, there are CASH PRIZES of $500, $300 and $100. The cash prizes are for the Costume Contest. Come down by 5PM dressed as your favorite F13 character. The three best costumes will win – with the grand prize winner getting $500 and so on. Don’t have a costume? No problem! We’re giving away 13 BLU-RAY BOXED SETS of “Friday the 13th: The Complete Collection” as well as 13 MEALS from the Food Trucks outside! These prizes are for our Trivia and Scream Contests (these also start at 5PM).
The Aero Theater is located at 1328 Montana Ave. Santa Monica, CA 90403. Here’s the official blurb, “Co-presented by Warner Bros. Home Entertainment, Bloody-Disgusting.com and Street Food Cinema: The Friday The 13th films introduced a one-man killing machine named Jason Voorhees, and just like that masked slasher they’ve proven pretty near immortal with 12 features spanning three decades. Join us as we celebrate the Warner Bros. Home Entertainment release of the Blu-ray boxed set “Friday the 13th: The Complete Collection” starting at 5:00 PM with crazed costume, trivia and scream contests for cash prizes and DVDs. Rediscover the seminal horror series (one of film history’s longest) on the big screen with its first four installments beginning at 7:30 PM.“
After pulling in $28 million at the worldwide box office this month, director (and star) Dev Patel’s critically acclaimed action-thriller Monkey Man is now available to watch at home.
You can rent Monkey Man for $19.99 or digitally purchase the film for $24.99!
Monkey Man is currently 88% Fresh on Rotten Tomatoes, with Bloody Disgusting’s head critic Meagan Navarro awarding the film 4.5/5 stars in her review out of SXSW back in March.
Meagan raves, “While the violence onscreen is palpable and painful, it’s not just the exquisite fight choreography and thrilling action set pieces that set Monkey Man apart but also its political consciousness, unique narrative structure, and myth-making scale.”
“While Monkey Man pays tribute to all of the action genre’s greats, from the Indonesian action classics to Korean revenge cinema and even a John Wick joke or two, Dev Patel’s cultural spin and unique narrative structure leave behind all influences in the dust for new terrain,” Meagan’s review continues.
She adds, “Monkey Man presents Dev Patel as a new action hero, a tenacious underdog with a penetrating stare who bites, bludgeons, and stabs his way through bodies to gloriously bloody excess. More excitingly, the film introduces Patel as a strong visionary right out of the gate.”
Inspired by the legend of Hanuman, Monkey Man stars Patel as Kid, an anonymous young man who ekes out a meager living in an underground fight club where, night after night, wearing a gorilla mask, he is beaten bloody by more popular fighters for cash. After years of suppressed rage, Kid discovers a way to infiltrate the enclave of the city’s sinister elite. As his childhood trauma boils over, his mysteriously scarred hands unleash an explosive campaign of retribution to settle the score with the men who took everything from him.
Monkey Man is produced by Jordan Peele’s Monkeypaw Productions.
