Teen
Rebellion Triple Feature!
Rock 'n' Roll High School
dir.
Allan Arkush, USA, 1979, 35mm, 93 mins, color
 Produced
by genre giant Roger Corman, Rock 'n' Roll High School
is a throwback to 1950s teen centered music films like Rock
Rock Rock, though obviously updated to reflect the musical
scene of the late 70s. PJ Soles (Halloween, Stripes)
plays Riff Randell, a rebellious student at Vince Lombardi High
School who is obsessed with punk rock legends The Ramones.
Riff meets her heroes, writes a song for them, and enlists their
help in overthrowing the evil school principal Miss Togar, who
has embarked upon a campaign to rid the community of rock music.
A
highly ridiculous and enjoyable comedy that features Corman
film regulars like Mary Woronov, Paul Bartel and the immortal
Dick Miller.
Satan's Cheerleaders
dir.
Greydon Clark, USA, 1977, 35mm, 92 mins, color
 The
janitor at a local high school is actually the scout for a coven
of Satanists on the lookout for
a
virgin to sacrifice. He kidnaps the cheerleading squad to use
for their rituals. However, unbeknownst to the devil-worshipers,
one of the cheerleaders is actually a witch, and has plans of
her own for the Satanists. Directed by the infamous exploitationer
Greydon Clark (Black Shampoo, Without Warning)
and featuring once respectable actors John Ireland, John Carradine
and Yvonne De Carlo.
Joy Sticks
dir.
Greydon Clark, USA, 1983, 35mm, 88 mins, color
When
a top local businessman and his two bumbling nephews try to
shut down the town's only video arcade, its employees and patrons
fight back. Not Academy Award©
material to be sure,
but if you're a fan of 1980s arcade games, this film has some
sweet footage of games like Satan's Hollow and Pac-Man in action.
Starring a slumming Joe Don Baker and Jon Gries (Monster
Squad, Napoleon Dynamite) as punk rocker/nemesis
King Vidiot.
$12
general admission; available one hour before showtime.
