April 13 Film Showing

 


How's about a special international double feature?!

First up is "The Turkish Star Trek". Turkey has a proud history of stealing American films and remaking them with no money and their own unique set of production values. When they remade Superman, Superman became a homemade doll dangling on string in front of a black and white TV, and when they remade Star Wars, Luke Skywalker fought an army of Cookie Monsters on a field of trampolines. Turkish remakes of films are confusing madness, but invariably end up being twice as entertaining as the originals. Turkish Star Trek continues this cinematic tradition. In Turkey it’s called Turist Omer Uzay Yolunda, which probably translates literally to “Tragic Mistake.” Wait ‘til you see “Kirk” and “Spock” in incredibly fake sets having incomprehensible adventures. Turkish cinema takes an American classic, turns it on its head and kicks the living crap out of it. This film will be shown during the pot luck dinner.

Our main feature will be Caltiki, The Immortal Monster from 1959. It’s a truly international oddity. An Italian movie set in Mexico, though filmed in Spain and pawned off as being American, even in Italy! It is the only '50s "monster on the rampage" film made by the Italians and the best radioactive blob movie ever! When explorers discover in Mayan ruins a flesh-devouring, ever growing blob it makes the one Steve McQueen once found seem affectionate.

Also: Yet another great episode of Radar Men from the Moon from 1951. Starring Commando Cody flying through cosmos battling very mean aliens with big guns.

This is an alcohol-free, smoke-free event. Children are welcome!
