Fri: 7:30; Sat: 4:00 & 7:30, Trailer
Beyond Bakshi's cinematic style, his stories seem haunted by a worldliness that is torn between cynicism and tortured humanism. There is heart in his plots, so superficial putdown is totally absent. What is present [is] the evidently sincere empathy of a social surgeon. - Variety

directed by Richard Franklin; starring Stacy Keach, Jamie Lee Curtis, Grant Page, Marion Edward
Sun: 3:35 & 7:30; Mon: 7:30, Trailer
Effective as a string of cinematic shocks, the movie manages a good number of coups, with its cargo of raw meat, use of Jamie Lee's association with endless knife-flicks, and the ever-so-slightly surreal placing of figures in a vast landscape, making for an endearing horror pic. - Time Out Film Guide

directed by Jack Cardiff; starring Rod Taylor, Yvette Mimieux, Peter Carsten, Jim Brown, Kenneth More, André Morell, Olivier Despax
Wed/Thurs: 7:30
Taking the men-on-a-mission motif and throwing it into a hotbed of bloodthirsty politics and uneasy team-ups, director Jack Cardiff delivers an action spectacle with surprising bite - especially for its time. It's no surprise that Hollywood heavyweights love the film - Martin Scorsese and Quentin Tarantino have both expressed their admiration, the latter going so far as to lift a few musical tracks from the exceptional Jacques Loussier soundtrack for use in Inglourious Basterds. - Jeremy Wheeler, All Movie
- plus on the same bill -
