Bike & Watch

By Rob Christopher in Arts & Entertainment on Aug 11, 2008 7:40PM

2008_8_11bikemovies.jpg We love bikes. We love movies. So it stands to reason that combining the two is a win-win situation. And Bike-In Cinema has done just that. Every Wednesday night though the end of the month, they'll be showing double features at dusk (9 o'clockish) via DVD projection. Just bike (or walk or CTA-it) to Reba Rar Rar's Side Yard at 1441 W. Cullerton (near Blue Island/Cullerton in Pilsen).

What interesting pairings they are! This week features Stanley Kubrick's classic Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned To Stop Worrying And Love The Bomb backed with must-see cult fave Two-Lane Blacktop. Then on August 20 we get a twisted childhood program, pairing Brand Upon The Brain! & E.T. The series concludes on the 27th with a truly perverse combo: Jacques Tati's exquisite sight-gag comedy Mon Oncle and the Tatum O'Neal/Kristy McNichol summer camp who-will-lose-their-virginity-first teenspoitation flick
Little Darlings.

All shows are free. For more info consult their MySpace page or drop them a line. BYOB is encouraged.
