The Last Movie
FAR OUT! Presents:
THE LAST MOVIE
a film by Dennis Hopper
Tue 24th of Feb
doors at 5:30
show at 6:30
$15 CASH ONLY on the door
STARRING: Peter Fonda Sam Fuller Kris Kristofferson
Dean Stockwell Stella Garcia Michelle Phillips
The Last Movie is a 1971 American metafictional drama film directed by and starring Dennis Hopper. - Greenlit after the success of director and star Dennis Hopper's previous film Easy Rider, Universal Pictures gave him complete creative control over the project, which was budgeted at $1 million and was shot in Peru. Hopper only loosely followed the script by Stern, filming hours upon hours of footage built around friends whom he invited to the set. The film's elongated post-production came from Hopper's constant editing and re-editing of the film while suffering from the effects of his drug habit, leading to allegations of self-sabotage and missing the film's initial deadline to deliver a final cut by nearly six months.
Despite high expectations, including a receiving the Critics Prizes Winner Award at the 1971 Venice International Film Festival, the film was a critical and financial disaster. Dissatisfied with the finished product, Universal Pictures gave the film a staggered, limited release under multiple alternative titles. Its poor reception led to Hopper's self-imposed exile from Hollywood for several years, barely starring in any film until Francis Ford Coppola hired him for Apocalypse Now (1979), not directing another film until Out of the Blue (1980), and never writing another film again. In the decades since its release, it has undergone a critical reappraisal and has become a cult classic.

Beetlejuice
DOME SPOTLIGHT SCREENING - One Night Only!
Saturday, 21 Feb at 7pm
Directed by Tim Burton
Tim Burton’s second feature from 1988 is anchored by Catherine O’Hara’s iconic performance as Delia Deetz, a self-absorbed New York artist who moves into a New England farmhouse with her yuppie husband and goth stepdaughter Lydia (Winona Ryder). Unaware the house is already haunted by the recently deceased Maitlands (Alec Baldwin and Geena Davis), Delia’s pretentious creative ambitions and spiritual dabbling make her a nightmare for the fledgling ghosts.
As the Maitlands fail to scare the new owners away, they turn to the unruly ‘bio-exorcist’ Beetlejuice (Michael Keaton), with predictably chaotic results. O’Hara brings sharp wit and comic insecurity to Delia, turning the eccentric stepmother into one of the film’s most memorable characters, amid BAFTA-nominated effects and an Oscar-winning make-up team.
