Upcoming Movies

June 30th 2011 Raging Bull DON KING announces Featured Music: Raging Bluegrass, with Odetta & Gryphon Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Robert De Niro doesn't pull any punches in this 1980 biopic about middleweight boxing champ Jake La Motta. In fact, under the direction of Martin Scorsese, De Niro brings to life a character that is both despicable and sympathetic. And talk about commitment: De Niro gained 60 pounds while making this film about one of the most unlikable protagonists ever depicted on film. Seriously...Jake La Motta makes Rocky Balboa seem like Richard Simmons, so don't watch Raging Bull hoping for a feel-good training montage. This film captures the raw intensity of a boxer's life, and the desperation of a man so insecure and paranoid, he beats the crap out of the only people who see any good in him. Come for the film's potent character study, and stay for the graphic fight scenes (in and out of the ring)! They are both gnarly and cinematically beautiful, rivaling anything you've seen before or since.

July 7th 2011 Coming to America Featured Music: TBD Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Hilarious comedy with Eddie Murphy as an African prince who travels with his loyal, royal companion to the United States to search for a bride.

July 14th 2011 The Warriors Featured Music: Dog Soldier Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown A battle of gigantic proportions is looming in the neon underground of New York City. The armies of the night number 100,000; they outnumber the police 5 to 1; and tonight they're after the Warriors - a street gang blamed unfairly for a rival gang leader's death. This contemporary action-adventure story takes place at night, underground, in the sub-culture of gang warfare that rages from Coney Island to Manhattan to the Bronx. Members of the Warriors fight for their lives, seek to survive in the urban jungle and learn the meaning of loyalty. This intense and stylized film is a dazzling achievement for cinematographer Andrew Laszlo.

July 21st 2011 Star Trek Featured Music: Moon Hooch, plus Free Art Society Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Boldly going where no "Trek" has gone before, this 2009 reboot of the 40-year-old sci-fi franchise tells the origin stories of the beloved crew of the Starship Enterprise. Led by a rebellious pre-Captain Kirk, the film follows Spock, McCoy, Sulu and the entire galactic gang as they first attend Starfleet Academy. But before they can even sign each other's yearbooks, they're summoned to intercept an evil, time-traveling Romulan (played by Eric Bana) hell-bent on destroying the Federation. Reimagining a cult classic of super-nova proportions is as dangerous as a Klingon with a painstik, but director J.J. Abrams (creator of "Alias" and "Lost") manages to re-energize the franchise with enough snappy dialogue, twists, and special effects to satisfy even the most nitpicky space-geek.

July 28th 2011 Arthur Featured Music: The Debonairs Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Millionaire playboy Arthur dances to the tune of his grandmother's purse strings - until a lovable shoplifter steals his heart. Arthur's upper-crust servant Hobson (Academy Award winner John Gielgud) is disdainful of the girl but the couple's true love wins him over.

August 4th 2011 The Pope of Greenwhich Village Featured Music: Elliot Sharp Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Charlie is a maitre d' with dreams of escaping New York's Little Italy and buying his own restaurant in the country. Paulie is a hustler who never met a get-rich-quick scheme he didn't like. Mickey Rourke and Eric Roberts practically ooze marinara from their pores as these Italian American cousins who flirt dangerously with loan sharks, the mafia, secretly sired racehorses and the occasional cracked safe.

August 11th 2011 Kick-Ass Featured Music: Mamarazzi Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Within the halls of his high school Dave Lizewski is a nobody but he is about to crank his nightlife up a notch. Armed with a sweet costume and nothing better to do, Dave takes to the streets to fight crime as Kick-Ass, the world's newest superhero. Even without special powers or a score to settle, his exploits take the internet by storm-and soon he's got a team of masked vigilantes by his side and one very real super villain to take down.

August 18th 2011 Rosemary's Baby Featured Music: The Luddites, plus East Village Dance Project Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Young husband and wife Guy and Rosemary move into a creepy New York apartment building, where Guy gets particularly chummy with their eccentric, elderly neighbors. When Guy's acting career suddenly takes off, the couple decides to start a family. But Rosemary's strange dreams and failing health lead her to wonder what's growing inside her - and why her neighbors have such a vested interest in her unborn child.

August 25th 2011 The Godfather Featured Music: Nuyorican Poet's Cafe Slam, plus Raya Brass Band Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown Move over, Tony Soprano: it turns out there was a time in American history before mob bosses had psychiatrists and houses in the suburbs and amusing dreams about strippers. The epic tale of the Corleone family took the world by storm in 1972, as the visceral family ties between Marlon Brando and Al Pacino threatened to leap right off the screen. Director Francis Ford Coppola takes seemingly simple themes - right and wrong, the American Dream, proper disposal of a horse head - and transforms them into a sweeping saga for the ages. Fun fact: Brando famously refused to accept his Academy Award for Best Actor, instead sending a woman dressed in Native American garb to the ceremony in his place.

September 1st 2011 Stake Land Featured Music: Just Desserts Gates open at 6:00pm. Movie starts at sundown In a fierce, alternative vision of America's bleak future, a young boy is about to learn how cruel the world can be. Martin was a normal teenage boy before the country collapsed in an empty pit of economic and political disaster. And from the ashes rose a new breed of terror. A vampire epidemic has swept across what is left of the nation's abandoned towns and cities, and it's up to Mister, a death dealing, rogue vampire hunter, to get Martin safely north to Canada, the continent's New Eden. Welcome to Stake Land, kid...
