Friday, September 14 through Thrusday, September 27 SESSION 9 A film by Brad Anderson David Caruso stars in Brad Anderson's ("Happy Accidents", "Next Stop Wonderland") contemporary tale of terror set in an abandoned insane asylum. The complex of buildings looms up out of the woods like a dormant beast. Grand, imposing...abandoned, deteriorating. The residents of Danvers, Massachusetts steer well clear of the place. But Danvers State Mental Hospital, closed down for 15 years, is about to receive five new visitors. Hazmat Elimination Co. seals a deal to remove dangerous asbestos from the hospital, which is soon to be renovated. The five-man crew dons protective gear and ventures into the eerily vast and vacant spaces and corridors of the hospital. The crew is drawn deeper into the mysteries that surround the asylum - rampant patient abuse, medieval medical procedures, rumors of demonic possession...The hospital holds many dark secrets - but then, so do each of the men. The longer they struggle under the grueling pressure of their job, the more likely it seems that one of them will crack and the awful truth will emerge. The question is, which one will it be? Directed by Brad Anderson. With David Caruso, Stephen Gevedon, Paul Guilfoyle, Josh Lucas, Peter Mullan, Brendan Sexton III. In color. 35mm. 99 mins. Rated R. 2001. Official Website Nightly at 7:00 and 9:15; Sat., Sun and Wed matinees at 2:00 and 4:30. "Like all good psychological thrillers, the tension in Session 9 is slow-building and character-based, making the nightmare that eventually unfolds all the more chilling." -- SF BAY GUARDIAN "THE SCARIEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR" -- SF WEEKLY "Brad Anderson's SESSION 9 is an ingeniously scary movie. " -- LOS ANGELES TIMES Friday & Saturday, September 28 & 29 September in San Francisco! A prime time to show off the best films that have grown from the sport of surfing. Indonesia, California, Mexico, and various other surf locales will come to life on screen as Wavefest presents surf cinema from the 60's to the present. Featuring the Bay Area Premiere of "Shelter"-the latest from Chris Mallowy, as well as "The Seedling," a mesmerizing classic from Thomas Campbell. Come prepared for more surprises, including shorts, special musical guests and more! For more films, descriptions and showtimes, head to www.wavefest.com! Sunday, September 30 The Roxie remembers James Dean! It was exactly forty-six years ago today that James Dean died in the twisted wreckage of that crash out on the California highway. Join us at the Roxie as we pay tribute not only to Jimmy, but to the rest of his Rebel friends-Natalie, Sal and Nick-all of whom are expected to be here with us-in one form or another. Rebel Without A Cause Perhaps no Hollywood director other than Nicholas Ray could have possibly tapped into the psychic energy of James Dean, the electrifying new star who would be dead by the time the film was released in October 1955. Dean's signature film was a clarion call to the vast adult American middle-class oblivious to the concerns of its precious young. All that Dean would become in death is personified in his Jim Stark; poetic, lonely and perpetually tuned into the Cosmos. See it once more in CinemaScope! Co-starring Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo. Directed by Nicholas Ray. In Color. 35mm. 111 mins. 1955. EXTRA ADDED ATTRACTION: The Unlighted Road, a half-hour television drama Dean filmed in 1955. It's a tight little b&w noir about a young guy who gets mixed up with crooks and hot cars! Complete shows Sunday at 2:00, 5:00 and 8:00.
