SAT JULY 23, 2022 7:30 PM STARMAN / HOWARD THE DUCK $10.00 (member) ; $15.00 (general admission) Aero Theatre | In 70mm ‘ULTRA CINEMATHEQUE 70 FEST’ Tickets are no longer on sale for this event.
ABOUT THE FILMS: STARMAN, 1984, Sony Repertory, 115 min, USA, Dir: John Carpenter. Oscar-nominated Jeff Bridges delivers a wonderfully offbeat performance as an alien struggling to understand humanity while traveling cross-country with widow Karen Allen – who must cope with the fact that the alien has reincarnated itself in the form of her late husband! FORMAT: 70mm HOWARD THE DUCK, 1986, Universal, 110 min, USA, Dir: Willard Huyck. The titular sarcastic, cigar-chomping, 27-year-old hero of this ahead-of-its-time fan favorite hails from the planet Duckworld, from which he’s suddenly beamed away via an Earth-based scientific experiment gone awry. Landing in Cleveland, Howard must contend with this new and strange place, and, of course, prevent the very destruction of the universe by a villain who also gets accidentally beamed down to Earth. Visually inventive and engaging, HOWARD THE DUCK is an amazing oddity: a comic book film squarely aimed at adults with humor way above the heads of the young audience it drew. FORMAT: 70mm
