Friday, November 16th
at The Castro Movie theatre
in San Francisco, CA.


7:30pm
STAYING ALIVE
Written/Directed by Sylvester Stallone
Cast: John Travolta, Cynthia Rhodes, (cameo by Sly). 1983, 93min.

We kick off the night strutting our disco buns to John Travolta, reprising his role from Saturday Night Fever. Only now, it's the early-1980's and disco dancing has mutated into an electro-aerobics scene where slutty spandex, homemade headbands and laser light-shows rule the night! With an unstoppable amount of memorable one-liners, Sylvester Stallone redefines the rock-montage sequence by making an entire sweat-fest in super-slow motion. And to top it all off, the soundtrack is created by his musical genius brother, Frank Stallone.
Preceeded by some amazing 80's trailers.

9:30pm THE WIZ
Written by Joel Schumacher; Directed by Sidney Lumet.
Containing: Diana Ross, Michael Jackson, Nipsy Russell, Richard Pryor, Lena Horne. 1978, 134min.

Ease on down the road to this all-black cast, disco adaptation of L. Frank Baum's classic, The Wizard of Oz. Dismissed as a failure upon it's release, this brave reinterpretation showcases some of the decade's great stars: Diana Ross sparkles as Dorothy, who dreams of getting out of the black & white ghetto streets; Michael Jackson will blow your mind as the fortune-cookie, advice-giving Scarecrow, while Nipsey Russell will break your heart as the rusted Tin Man. Add to that the almighty Richard Pryor as the Wizard and the magistic Lena Horne as Glinda the Good Witch, you have to wonder why this film didn't succeed. A must see on the big screen! Preceeded by trailers of other inspirational disco spectacles.

MIDNITE - THE APPLE
Written/Directed by Menehm Golan
Containing: Catherine Mary Stewart, George Gilmour, Grace Kennedy, Vladek Sheybal. 1980, 90min.

This mind-melting 1980 sci-fi/musical spectacle is set in the super-distant future of 1994. While many films from the 1970's and 1980's have a level of campiness through their failed ambitions, this biblical epic (in content and grandeur) takes the triple-teared cake for it's aspirations of making the greatest Disco extravaganza ever.

Bring everyone you know to this film becausee no one, and I mean no one, will be left unsatisfied! Preceeded by some of the most unbelievable trailers you've ever seen.

$10 for ALL THREE FILMS!
