BAD MOVIE NIGHT: STREETS OF RAGE - TUESDAY MAY 22

Two years of celebrating the very worst that cinema has to offer, Bad Movie Night presents the less-than-amateur action-drama STREETS OF RAGE. Written by and starring former pro wrestler “Magnificent” Mimi Lesseos, STREETS OF RAGE tells the story of Melody Sails, a strong, independent woman of the 90s (and retired Special Forces commando) who has high hopes of becoming a big time newspaper reporter. Hunting down her first big scoop, Melody begins interviewing street kids at the seediest pizza parlor imaginable. She soon finds herself on the trail of Lunar, a mysterious British pimp who seems to be pulling all the strings in skid row. Between protecting street kids with her awkwardly choreographed kung-fu and working through a bevy of male suitors, will Melody find the time to track down the identity of the evil Lunar and get her story on the front page? Find out, only at this month’s Bad Movie Night!

SNEAK PREVIEW: THE TAIWAN OYSTER - TUESDAY JUNE 26

Exclusive one-night only sneak preview screening of the SXSW hit indie film! After the tragic death of a newly arrived Ex-pat, ESL kindergarten teachers Simon and Darin steal the corpse in order to perform the final rites for the fallen stranger. Their quest for the perfect burial spot becomes a quixotic odyssey along Taiwan’s picturesque East Coast Highway, where they encounter welcoming families, violent gangsters, personal demons, and Nikita, their traveling companion. The duty, transport, and dementia caused by frequent substance abuse, ignites an internalization in all three characters as they define their personal feelings concerning mortality, purpose, burial rites and the concept of legacy. With filmmakers and UGA Alums Mark and Mitchell Jarrett in attendance.

SHOWTIMES: 7:30p - TUE 6/26 - FOLLOWED BY FILMMAKER Q&A AND CATERED RECEPTION

ADMISSION: $25 - DOOR | $20 - ADVANCE - PURCHASE ONLINE HERE
