Steven Soderbergh's "Out of Sight"
Tuesday, February 25 o 7:30pm
Alamo Drafthouse & Cinema SF
$16
George Clooney. Handsome, classy, and undeniably the most suave man in Hollywood. He's one smooth operator, and no film exemplifies that better than "OUT OF SIGHT." As Jack Foley, Clooney plays a bank robber who escapes from prison and winds up stuck in the trunk of his getaway car with U.S. Marshall Karen Sisco (Jennifer Lopez, in arguably her best role). After she's released, Sisco remains in hot, and I mean HOT, pursuit of Foley (and who can blame her?). Based on the novel by the legendary Elmore Leonard. Special guest speaker: Eddie Muller. Talk at 7:30 pm, screening at 7:50 pm.
Wim Wenders' "The American Friend"
Tuesday, March 31 o 6:30pm - 9:00pm
Alamo Drafthouse & Cinema SF
$16
Wim Wenders pays loving homage to rough-and-tumble Hollywood film noir with "THE AMERICAN FRIEND," a loose adaptation of Patricia Highsmith's classic novel RIPLEY'S GAME. Dennis Hopper oozes quirky menace as an amoral American art dealer who entangles a terminally ill German everyman, played by Bruno Ganz, in a seedy criminal underworld as revenge for a personal slight--but when the two become embroiled in an ever-deepening murder plot, they form an unlikely bond. Special guest speakers: Mystery/Crime authors Laurie R. King and David Corbett. Talk at 6:30 pm, screening at 6:50 pm.
