LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR
Hello Video Angels,
Thanks to everyone who came out to our 40th anniversary celebrations over the weekend!
We’re not done with bringing you events this month, though. We’ll be back at the Bartell Community Theatre on Sunday, November 23rd with LOOKING FOR MR. GOODBAR at 5pm. See the late Diane Keaton in her most controversial role! Following the film, we’ll have a discussion with Dave Durbin about the film, 70s cinema, and the true events that inspired the novel and the movie.

Sean says:
Let's get these teen hearts beating faster, faster... Twisted mystery/drama reminiscent of David Lynch's Blue Velvet (released the same year and also starring Dennis Hopper), River's Edge takes you through the nine circles of teen hell. Killer soundtrack (Slayer, The Wipers, Agent Orange etc.) and Keanu Reeves wearing a denim vest over a leather jacket over a tie dye t-shirt.
