Day 3763 - "Kiss Me Deadly" and "Repo Man" Double At The New Beverly - 09.08.21

Tonight was an amazing double feature at the New Beverly.  I watched "Kiss Me Deadly" and the "Kiss Me Deadly" inspired "Repo Man."  I have seen "Repo Man" many times before, but never on the big screen and it was a pleasure seeing it on the big screen with an audience.  It played great.  "Kiss Me Deadly" was a first time viewing and I must say that I was kind of blown away.  I vaguely knew what it was about and what the twist was going to be near the end of the film, but that didn't matter.  The reveal toward the end was amazing and played so well.  It was still sort of shocking and the ending was so bleak.  I was also taken aback by how black and dark the interpretation of Mike Hammer was.  It was also great watching it before "Repo Man" because I the connections between the two movies were made all that more apparent.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3762 - Led Zeppelin "Led Zeppelin II" - 09.07.21

Tonight my wife and I went to a Hollywood Blvd. triple feature and all three movies were great and super fun.  They all played great.  "Angel" was a bit of a revelation for me.  So many great characters.  "Savage Streets" I had seen at the Bev before and it is a total crowd pleaser.  It was my wife's favorite of the three films.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3759 - "The Live" Midnight Show - 09.04.21

Today my wife and I went and say "E.T. The Extraterrestrial" at the Bev for the afternoon matinee.  It played like gangbusters.  Then later I returned alone for a midnight screening of "They Live" which also played like gangbusters.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3757 - Emmylou Harris "Luxury Liner" LP - 09.02.21

Today I listened to Emmylou Harris's album "Luxury Liner."  It was talked about in the Ken Burns "Country Music" documentary series which is what prompted me to take it off the shelf.  I really wanted to listen to her version of "Pancho And Lefty."  The whole album is great.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3751 - "This Gun For Hire" & "The Glass Key" Double Feature - 08.27.21

This evening my wife and I went to a Veronica Lake and Alan Ladd double feature at the Bev.  Both films were new to me and both were fantastic.  To be honest I went for Veronica Lake, but I came away loving Alan Ladd.  He is crazy good in "This Gun For Hire."  This is something I saw today.

Day 3747 - "The Bravest Fist" and "The Chinese Mack" at The New Beverly - 08.23.21

I caught a couple martial arts films at the Bev this evening.  The second film "The Chinese Mack" was wild.  It had crazy twists and turns and when it ended it really was a big "what the hell did we just see" moment in the theater.  It was a real crowd pleaser.  This is something I saw today.

Day 3742 - "Grave Of The Vampire" and "The Swinging Barmaids" at The New Beverly - 08.18.21

For the third night of the William Smith tribute we made a night of it.  Before the film my wife, son and daughter-in-law went to El Coyote before hand for dinner.  Then we hopped over to the Bev for a couple really fun flicks.  "Grave Of The Vampire" was good, but for me "The Swinging Barmaids" was really a great surprise.  I thought it worked really well and was put together far better than I thought it would be.  The print we watched had the hilarious title "Eager Beavers."  Tomorrow night it the last night of the tribute fest, but we aren't going to that night.  They are showing "Rumble Fish" and "Any Which Way You Can." I kind of wish I was going to that, but to be honest after four nights in a row at the Bev I am exhausted.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3741 - "Black Samson", "Hammer" & "Sweet Jesus, Preacherman" Triple Feature - 08.17.21

My wife joined me for the William Smith triple blaxploitation feature tonight.  And boy what a night it was.  I really liked all the films, but the night ended up being very long because one of the projectors broke and so for each reel change there was about a 5 minute break.  All those breaks add up and we didn't get out until after 1:30 AM.  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3740 - "Hollywood Man" and "The Losers" at The New Beverly - 08.16.21

Tonight was the first night or a four night tribute to William Smith at the New Beverly.  I saw "Hollywood Man" and "The Losers."  I had seen "Hollywood Man" before, but it was great seeing that in a theater.  It is a pretty crazy movie.  "The Losers" was okay, but not as good as "Hollywood Man."  This is something I saw today.
 

Day 3739 - "Walking The Edge" and "The Death Squad" At The New Beverly - 08.15.21

This evening I went to a Robert Forster double feature.  This first film was "Walking The Edge" which was pretty good.  The second feature was a surprise and it ended up being "The Death Squad" a TV movie from 1974.  It was pretty interesting and pretty dark.  I enjoyed that one quite a bit.  It has some great Los Angeles stuff.  This is something I saw today.

This evening my wife and I went to the Bev to watch "Slumber Party Massacre" and "The Clan Of The Cave Bear"  This kicked off a Micheal Chapman tribute this week.  "Slumber Party Massacre" was super fun.  "Clan Of The Cave Bear" was a bit more challenging and to be honest I was getting really sleepy toward the end.  Still, it looked great and I am so glad I could see both films on the big screen.  This is something I saw today.
