May 31st

   4:00pm | Alien: Resurrection (1997) 1st in our 3 movie marathon is the 4th movie in a series of 7. Got it? Good. 200 years after her death, Ellen Ripley is revived as a powerful human/alien hybrid clone. Along with a crew of space pirates, she must again battle the deadly aliens and stop them from reaching Earth.
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Winona Ryder, Dominique Pinon, Ron Perlman

   6:00pm | Alien 3 (1992) Alien Cubed, directed by a starry-eyed David Fincher, has Ripley crash into a prison planet with a fun little stowaway eager to create some alien shenanigans and general tomfoolery. Will she rip an alien dick off and hand it to Winona Ryder in this one? Not likely, but here's hoping.
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Charles S. Dutton, Charles Dance, Paull McGann

   8:00pm | Aliens (1986) Ours and James Cameron's 3rd movie takes place 57 years after the first one. I don't know how to make this marathon any clearer. Ripley awakens from hyper-sleep and tries to warn a bunch of idiot morons about the lurking alien menace. Game over, man.
Starring: Sigourney Weaver, Paul Reiser, Michael Biehn, Bill Paxton

May 29th

   9:00pm | Collateral (2004) My personal favorite Michael Mann film, probably in no small part for its sheer Cruisiness. Foxx is subtley awesome too in a breakout non-comedy role as a sorta kidnapped/extorted cab driver making big life choices over the course of a crazy night with an unhinged, yet undeniably charismatic fare who uses the cab service to ferry between hit jobs. If you like uncontrollably staring at a story being told by brilliant artists, this is for you.
Starring: Tom Cruise, Jamie Foxx

May 20th

   9:00pm | Unbreakable (2000) Shyamalan Thursday was never supposed to be a thing, and then it was, and so it shall be. The best superhero story, the best origin story, the best world builder... all while you don't even realize it cuz it's also a damn fine story straight up on its own. One of my all time favorites.
Starring: Bruce Willis, Sam Jackson, Robin Wright

May 19th

   9:00pm | Jabberwocky (1977) Dragon Week continues with Terry Gilliam's directorial debut! This was and has continued to be a bit hard to categorize. It stars a bunch of Monty Python, and it's a comedy, but it is most definitely not a Monty Python venture. It's more in the tone of Time Bandits than Holy Grail, and despite the 70s PG rating there's a fair share of nudes and gross shit going on here!
Starring: Michael Palin, Harry H. Corbett, John Le Mesurier

May 18th

   9:00pm | Creepshow 2 (1987) This classic anthology collection from the coked-up King/ Romero/ Savini 80s supergroup delivers on the horror goods, including inanimate Indian vengeance, objects in mirror being deader than they appear, and one of my favorite horror shorts ever, The Raft!
Starring: Tom Savini, George Kennedy, A Wooden Indian Chief, A Blob, A Hitchhiker Ghost

May 17th

   9:00pm | The Men Who Stare at Goats (2009) Inspired by the true story of a secret US government program aimed at weaponizing remote-viewing and possibly other supernatural abilities, or even just confirming their veracity, we don't know exactly cuz it was a secret. Roll up a summer sausage sized smokestack and grab your tinfoil-lined ICP beanie, it's fuckin' DISCLOSURE TIME!
Starring: George Clooney, Jeff Bridges, Ewan McGregor

May 16th

   9:00pm | Dragonslayer (1981) A young wizarding apprentice is sent to kill a dragon which has been devouring girls from a nearby kingdom. I've never seen this, but it looks good, and also exactly like something I'd watch on a Sunday night in the 80s.
Starring: Peter MacNicol, Caitlin Clarke, Ralph Richardson

May 15th

   9:00pm | Skyfall (2012) This Sam Mendes directed 007 tale features the following: spies, action, double-crossing, vaguely-ethnic hot chicks, explosions, fun gadgets, man-torso, car chases... it's a Bond movie, you get the idea. It's good, and it'll make you feel good.
Starring: Daniel Craig, Judi Dench, Javier Bardem, Ralph Fiennes, a Slew of Hot Bond Girls

May 14th  

   8:00pm | Dave Made a Maze (2017) No dragons, but there is a minotaur. Starving artist Dave builds a fort in his living room that takes on a life of its own, engulfing his friends and any stray shreds of symbolic subtlety laying around. It's a pretty heartwarmy story, and incredibly creative with the low-budget visuals.
Starring: Nick Thune, Meera Rohit Kumbhani, Adam Busch

   9:22pm | The Adventures of Buckaroo Bonzai Across the 8th Dimension (1984) Buckaroo Bonzai rock-star/brain-surgeon/samurai and his Hong Kong Cavaliers, must stop evil creatures from the 8th dimension (the Johns) from conquering Earth.
Starring: Peter Weller, John Lithgow, Ellen Barkin, Jeff Goldblum, Christopher Lloyd

May 13th

   9:00pm | Reign of Fire (2002) You know how sometimes you're digging around in the dirt and you stir up a hoard of fire-breathing, apocalyptic flying lizards hell-bent on destroying humanity? This underrated action sci-fa knows.
Starring: Matty McC, Christian B, Izabella Scorpio, Borg Queen, Gerard Butler is Contractually in Every Dragon Movie

May 12th

   9:00pm | How to Train Your Dragon (2010) A young dragon hunter befriends his would be huntee and they take on societal expectations, and learn life lessons, and it's one of the best animated films of the last 20 years, easy. "Kids, it was summer of 2010 and this is the story of How I Met Your Dragon.
Starring: Jay Baruchel, Gerard Butler, Craig Ferguson, America Ferrera, Jonah Hill, T.J. Miller

May 11th  

   9:00pm | Leprechaun 3 (1995) OhHoHo! If you thought Leprechaun 2 was a great movie (I know I did!) then you'll be thrilled to know the wee feller's at it again, this time in Vegas Bbbyy!! Find me a better place for monkey-pawing idiot-morons and obsessing over your material wealth down to the individual coin! (just psa: that green blood disease you got is NOT staying in Vegas...)
Starring: Warwick Davis, A Buncha Dumb Fleshies

May 10th

   9:00pm | The Muppets Take Manhattan (1984) Kermit and pals head to New York City to pursue their dream and get their musical on Broadway. Someday maybe I can realize my dream of becoming part of the Statler and Waldorf peanut gallery :D
Starring: Jim Henson, Frank Oz, Dave Goelz

May 9th  

   9:00pm | Four Lions (2010) Four British jihadists train to commit an act of terror. This is a comedy, so I'm guessing sad-and-pathetic-idiots-funny... like Brexit-funny!
Starring: Kayvan Novak, Nigel Lindsay, Riz Ahmed, Arsher Ali

May 8th

   9:00pm | Open Your Eyes (1997) A handsome man who finds the love of his life is disfigured in a crash caused by an ex's jealousy. The aftermath causes him to lose his grasp on what might be reality. Remade in the states by Cameron Crowe and Tom Cruise as Vanilla Sky. (Spanish language.)

May 7th  

   8:00pm | I'm Gonna Git You Sucka (1988) KIW writes, directs, and stars in this breakout performance of a parody on 70s Blaxploitation Films. It's lewd and crude, my dudes.
Starring: All the Wayanses and a generous helping of 70s Blaxploitation Stars

   9:30pm | Hotel Artemis (2018) Sci-fi thriller fare with an all-star cast and a "near-future" apocalyptic LA about a criminal hospital. I.e. a hospital for criminals, not like our normal situation which is just hospitals that are criminal.
Starring: Jodie Foster, Sofia Boutella, Jeff Goldblum, Jenny Slate, Charlie Day, Dave Bautista, Sterling K. Brown, Kenneth Choi, Zachary Quinto

May 6th

   9:00pm | Hard Eight (1996) PT Anderson's directorial debut is about a shitty gambler that learns to gamble good from a good gambler, then he falls victim to the worst gamble, the gamblehouse waitress. If the drinks are free, you're the product, or something.
Starring: Philip Baker Hall, John C. Reilly, Gwyneth Goop Paltrow, Samuel L. Jackson

May 5th

   9:00pm | The Adventures of Tintin (2011) Animated action-adventure fun from Spielberg and Jackson for the whole family! It's what Spielberg would have probably rather done with Indiana Jones if he could've scraped George Lucas's grubby little fingies off the franchise. Explosions, swashbuckling, and top-tier animation!
Starring: Jamie Bell, Andy Serkis, Daniel Craig, Nick Frost, Simon Pegg, Cary Elwes

May 4th  

   9:00pm | Leprechaun 2 (1994) Throwing another series into the Tuesday lineup! Our wee Irish buddy wants to find love for his 2000th birthday, so he goes after the descendant of his once slave, known here as Not Jennifer Aniston But Still Super Hot 90s Chick. The kills are better than the first and so's the plot somehow, but don't worry, it's still a frickin' Leprechaun movie.
Starring: Warwick Davis, Charlie Heath, Shevonne Durkin

May 3rd

   9:00pm | Alleluia! The Devil's Carnival (2016) I've tried a couple times to watch Bousman's Repo! The Genetic Opera, but it's just such cringey Hot Topic vomit I can never make it more than five minutes. I did like his short that preceded this circus-horror-musical though! I'm expecting more of the same: great costumes and makeup, fun setting and characters, and a plot you couldn't follow with full-blown Starlink.
Starring: Terrance Zdunich, Paul Sorvino, Adam Pascal, Barry Bostwick

May 2nd

   9:00pm | Trollhunter (2010) This FF/pseudo-doc follows a student film crew trying to track a mysterious hunter in order to get to the bottom of a series of bear attacks. What they get is a lesson in secret government agency coverup of historical consipira-folktales. And trolls. World Tour. (Norwegian language, so get ready for some [ominous noises].)
Starring: Otto Jespersen, Glenn Erland Tosterud, Johanna Mørck

May 1st

   9:00pm | Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008) Trying to get over a hard breakup, a guy takes a tropical vacation only to find that his ex is staying at the same resort with her new boytoy.

Starring: Jason Segel, Kristen Bell, Mila Kunis, Russell Brand, Bill Hader, Paul Rudd, Jonah Hill
