MONDAY 5 DEC
SCREEN SECT: STRAIGHT TO HELL
(Alex Cox, 1986)
Possibly the most expensive ‘home-movie’ ever made, in which the director of ‘Repo Man’ and ‘Sid & Nancy’ packs off to Spain with an all-rock-star cast (including The Pogues, Joe Strummer, Elvis Costello, Dennis Hoper, Jim Jarmusch, Grace Jones and Courtney Love) to create a twisted blend of spaghetti western and heist movie. Fun.

MONDAY 11 JULY
SCREEN SECT: MAN BITES DOG
(Belvaux / Bonzel / Poelvoorde, 1992)
This Belgian mockumentary is steeped in black-as-pitch comedy, as a crew of film-makers follow the exploits of a charismatic serial killer, recording his crimes and, ultimately, becoming more and more complicit in the increasingly chaotic violence. Dark and brilliant.

SCREEN SECT: THE DEAD ZONE
(David Cronenberg, 1983)
Cronenberg brings his unique psychological body horror sensibility to this tale of a schoolteacher who awakes from a coma with a strange, psychic sixth sense. Christopher Walken gives a brilliant, sympathetic performance, ably supported by the likes of Martin Sheen, Tom Skerrit and Brooke Adams.

MONDAY 30 MAY
SCREEN SECT: DUMB & DUMBER
(The Farrelly Brothers, 1994)
The debut feature from the Farrelly Brothers introduced audiences to their characteristic brand of gross slapstick, as it follows two sweet but moronic friends, played by Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, as they trek across country being hapless and idiotic.

XMAS DRINKS FOR RAD
W BROTHERS GRIM!!!
The world famous RAD is having a XMAS HOORAH!! @ Bar Open on Monday 20th Dec Who’s RAD I hear you ask? He’s the most handsome bouncer on our team He’s probably kicked you out of Pony for smoking on the dancefloor or shaggin’ in the toilets once or twice and made you wait in line for far too long but all in all RAD is a good dude and was just doing his job! He’s asking you to come down and party like its nineteen ninety twentieth of December! He has friends in the Brothers Grim who will be there! Brothers Grim are four Blues Hounds reviving 20’s blues, in an unwholesome, moon howling, sweat dripping, groin shaking fervor. It’s been loosely described as… “Unwholesome sex voodoo delta blues-a-billy” or “Howlin’ Wolf in an AC/DC T-shirt on too much cocaine” The majority of their reputation is based on their mutation of the Blues with elements of Rockabilly, Swamp blues, Delta blues and Rock sensibilities…the rest is varying percentages of idol gossip, guilt, manic energy, slander, a fuel for freedom and a bias for doing things their own way. DRINK AND BE MERRY!!! Doors 8pm

SCREEN SECT: HURTSVILLE!
Probably best known for having an extraterrestrial explode spectacularly from his chest in Ridley Scott’s 1979 film Alien, we think it’s high time to take a look at some of the career highlights of John Hurt, an incredibly versatile character actor, whose CV is a rich and varied feast of intense, iconic and idiosyncratic roles.
