Deja-View Cinema Presents: The Man with Two Brains

Overview

Have you ever thought back longingly at '80s and '90s VHS classics that you thought you might never watch again, because who the heck still has a VCR? Fear not film nerds, we have just the screening event you have been looking for.

Now in its second season Deja-View Cinema is out to prove that sometimes, the sequel is better than the original. This season brings some brilliant second offerings (think Terminator 2, Gremlins 2, etc) but also some cult classics all shown in HD. To add to the experience of watching VHS, there will also be original film trailers and pre-film entertainment. We're not sure what that will entail, but we're certainly intrigued. The John Candybar will have you covered for American sweet treats during the film, as well as handmade themed choc-tops. If you’re craving a dose of nostalgia and a fun night in, this could be the ticket.

This week isn’t a sequel, but it certainly takes two to tango, with The Man with Two Brains. Steve Martin stars as Dr. Michael Hfuhruhurr, a brain surgeon who’s a little insane in the brain himself. He has fallen in love with a brain in a jar he communicates with telepathically; all he needs now is a body to put it in. If Donovan’s Brain, Bride of Frankenstein, or even Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein floats your boat, you’d better strap in for this wild ride. Bar is open from 7pm and the film starts at 8.30pm, so get in early for a beverage and prime position.
