Netflix is presenting their Rolling Roadshow in which viewers can see famous movies in famous places. For instance you, can see Escape from Alcatraz on Alcatraz Island. Closest to home, Ferris Bueller's Day Off is going to be shown at Cedar Road Water Tower in Northbrook, Illinois. Personally, I'd like to see The Shining at the Stanley Hotel in Estes Park, Colorado.
Odds are that's not going to happen but I may get the chance to see it on the big screen again at the Orpheum as part of the Summer Camp series.
Four Star Video Heaven and the Orpheum are teaming up for the Summer Camp film series. Every few weeks, a cult film from the '70s or '80s is screened over Friday and Saturday night at the Stage Door, at midnight and 9 pm respectively.
The next wonderfully awful film to be shown will be Shiver, David Cronenberg's 1975 feature about oversexed suburban zombies. Other films under consideration include Switchblade Sisters, a femsploitation flick also from 1975, as well as Stanley Kubrick's take on The Shining from 1980.
How Kubrick's opus could be considered camp or "awesomely awful" is beyond me. But it would be nice to have it here instead of having to drive to Chicago to catch it on the big screen. And anything by David Cronenberg is welcome too.
Currently playing is 1990: The Bronx Warriors.
