1hr 25mins // directed by:Robert Houston // featuring:Tomisaburô Wakayama, Masahiro Tomikawa

He whips out his sword and relieves his victims of their heads!

More of a greatest hits movie than an actual stand-alone film of its own, Shogun Assassin is the delirious hybrid of two episodes of the popular Baby Cart series dubbed into English and fused together into a hyper-violent bloodbath ballet that's sure to entertain the samurai-film enthusiast with a strong stomach.

Co-presented by the Boston Underground Film Festival.

The Room

Midnite

1hr 30mins // directed by:Tommy Wiseau // featuring:Tommy Wiseau

Special screenings of The Room with Tommy Wiseau and co-star Greg Sestero in person, April 20 & 21. The Love Is Blind Tour 2012. Purchase your tickets now before they sell out and it's too late.

Midnite crowds have flocked to attend this show due to its "so amazingly bad it's [spooning] great" charms. In recent years, some of Hollywood's most talented have counted themselves being in the cult of The Room. Paul Rudd, David Cross and Jonah Hill catch the film whenever they can.

The Room's director, producer and leading man is the mysterious Tommy Wiseau. In the film, Tommy portrays "Johnny", a man who becomes involved in a love triangle when the woman he loves begins sleeping with another man. Johnny is also the mentor of a drug dealing man child, a dog aficionado and possesses an alarmingly unnerving giggle.

Kept as an L.A. secret for half of a decade, The Room has now found its way to the east coast and we here at the Coolidge are proud to present it in all its baffling glory.

They're the fabulously funny friends you grew up with! Join Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Tweety and the gang for another fun-filled weekend of classic Warner Bros cartoons at the Coolidge!
(Looney Tunes on 35mm as they were shown back in the day! I think it's pretty awesome!)

Kevin Smith Live & In Person
Thursday, March 22, 7PM

Join the Coolidge in welcoming Kevin Smith (director of Clerks and Mallrats, writer of Silent Bob Speaks and The Bionic Man) for an exclusive Boston appearance in support of his hilarious new book TOUGH SH*T: Life Advice from a Fat, Lazy Slob Who Did Good (Gotham Books, March 20, 2012, available in Hardcover, eBook and Penguin Audio). In it nothing is off limits, it’s a memoir that unlocks his unlikely path to success. For this special evening Kevin will discuss the book and answer questions from the audience.

This isn’t a book of feel-good stories. It’s a book of Tough Sh*t. He talks about the critics who’ve savaged his films and the actors and executives who’ve made him hate what he loves. He discusses his fallout out with Harvey Weinstein and The Weinstein Company and his feuds with Bruce Willis. He examines his struggles with weight, the infamous Southwest Airlines incident, and why he decided to start smoking pot at the age of 38. But he also tells you the good stuff you get if you suffer through the Tough Sh*t, like his amazing wife Jen, who suffers through marriage to a sex-obsessed fatty.

Sprinkled throughout, Kevin offers his readers gems of life advice that have helped him along the way: like what he learned from his hero Wayne Gretzky – “Don’t go where the puck’s been; go where it’s gonna be;” from the very act of conception – “You’re a big, fat bucket of win when you begin this crapshoot life;” and from Ferris Bueller: “You can never go too far. But if you’re gonna get busted, don’t let it be by a guy like that.”

Fanboys, film-buffs, stoners, fatties, skinnies, Smodcasters and anyone who wants to know how to get away with getting paid for doing what they love will find something to like in this book.

All tickets: $28, ticket price includes a signed copy of the book to be picked up upon arrival at the theatre.

Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me
Fri & Sat, March 23 & 24, Midnite

2hr 15mins // directed by

avid Lynch // featuring:Sheryl Lee, Ray Wise, Heather Graham, Kiefer Sutherland

20th anniversary screening!

After the cancelation of the television series Twin Peaks, David Lynch (Lost Highway) returned to the big screen to tie up loose ends and tell the back story of Laura Palmer: the days leading up to her brutal murder and the beginning of the FBI investigation into a mysterious murderer that could be tied-in with the death of Palmer.

Return to the idyllic Pacific Northwest town of Twin Peaks before homecoming queen Laura Palmer's grizzly death tipped the community on its head. As with the best Lynch films, the seedy underbelly of an otherwise picture perfect town is revealed to be even more disturbing than anyone could have imagined.

Special Agent Chester Desmond (Chris Isaak) is investigating the murder of teen Teresa Banks when he mysteriously disappears. The following day long-lost Agent Philip Jeffries (David Bowie) appears to Agent Dale Cooper (Kyle MacLachlan) and shares with him a dream that he witnessed at the Black Lodge. Cooper is assigned to investigate the disappearance of Agent Desmond and try to piece together the Banks murder. He reaches a dead end, but is positive that the killer will strike again.

One year later in the town of Twin Peaks Laura Palmer (Sheryl Lee) is trying to keep up her chaste appearance at high school while engaging in recreational drugs and sex with nefarious men in out-of-the-way bars and gambling establishments, and running with "bad boy" James Hurley (James Marshall) behind her boyfriend's back. What is behind her dual personality? Nightmares of an unknown man and a room with red curtains haunt her. Could these be more than just dreams?

Almost universally panned upon release, Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me has proven to be one of Lynch's best films and a crowning jewel in the cult of Twin Peaks.

Everything Is Terrible! presents DoggieWoggiez! PoochieWoochiez!

1hr 30mins // directed by:Everything Is Terrible! // featuring

ogs, dogs, and more dogs!

Those krazed VHS-hunting pupz from Everything Is Terrible! (everyone’s favorite found footage chop shoppe) are back with their third inner-eye-opening feature — containing a feat never before attempted in either human or canine history.

EIT! asks but a few simple questions: 1) “What if we made a movie composed ENTIRELY out of dog-related found footage?”; 2) ‘What if this magickal movie, made up of thousands of other dog movies, was also a remake of Alejandro Jodorowsky’s 1973 masterpiece The Holy Mountain?”; and, 3) “What if we went on the road performing an all-new “live in fur” show that picked up where Cirque Du Soleil and The Rock-A-Fire Explosion left off?”

Well, let’s stop asking dumb rhetorical questions because this never-ending spiral of World-Pup winning, sunglasses-wearing, murder-solving, skateboarding pooches is real! This is it! Are you dog enough to go fetch it? ARFFFFFF!

An Evening with Don Hertzfeldt featuring It's Such A Beautiful Day
Monday, April 2, 7PM

1hr 11mins // directed by

on Hertzfeldt

Cult animator and Academy Award nominee Don Hertzfeldt (Rejected, Billy's Balloon, the Meaning of Life) is coming to the Coolidge Corner Theatre for a rare one-night-only event! A selection of Don's classic animated shorts will return to the big screen, culminating in the exclusive Boston-area premiere of his newest film, It's such a beautiful day: the third and final chapter in a trilogy about a mysterious man named Bill.

Chapter One, Everything will be OK, won the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Award in Short Filmmaking and was named by many critics as one of the "best films of 2007".

Chapter Two, I am so proud of you, received twenty-seven awards and was described by the San Francisco International Film Festival as "[his] best yet... even the Hertzfeldt faithful may be too stunned to laugh."

Nearly two years in the making, the 23-minute It's such a beautiful day is Don's longest, and most ambitious piece to date: blending traditional animation, experimental optical effects, trick photography, and new digital hyrbids; printed out one frame at a time, the movie was captured entirely on an antique 35mm animation stand, one of the last remaining cameras of its kind left in America.

The entire animated trilogy, along with some additional classic Hertzfeldt shorts, will be screened together for the first time via new 35mm prints, immediately followed by a live on-stage Q&A session with Hertzfeldt, moderated by Adam Savje, Studio Manager for the Animation Department at MassArt.

Don Hertzfeldt's animated films have been featured in over a thousand film festivals and venues around the world and have collectively received over 150 international awards. Some notable honors include a Short Film Palm D'or nomination at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival (Billy's Balloon), a 2001 Oscar nomination for Best Animated Short (Rejected), the Sundance Film Festival's Jury Award in Short Filmmaking (Everything will be OK), and Best Picture and Best Screenplay from the Fargo Film Festival (I am so proud of you). In 2010, Don received the San Francisco International Film Festival's "Persistence of Vision" Lifetime Achievement Award at the age of 33.

Kill Bill Vol. 1 & 2 Double Feature

bennyhillifier

4hr 07mins // directed by:Quentin Tarantino // featuring:Uma Thurman, David Carradine

"Do you find me sadistic?"

Quentin Tarantino's deadly Bride (Uma Thurman) slashes her way to vengeance in this two- part film that pays homage to genres ranging from Japanese Pinky Violence to classic Chinese kung-fu with a little bite of Fulci undead thrown in for good measure.

When the Bride awakes from her coma and finds that the child she was carrying was among the victims of a wedding day massacre ordered by her former master, Bill (David Carradine), she composes her "Death List Five", and begins to cross off the names that took away all she held dear. Armed with a blade crafted by the legendary Hatori Hanzo (Sonny Chiba), she begins to sever the limbs of all those that stand between her and her intended prey.

Co-presented by the Boston LGBT Film Festival.

and more to come!
