Join The Warhol for two films screened in glorious 35mm: Massacre at Central High (1976), 87 mins., and Red Dawn (1984), 114 mins. Massacre at Central High, directed by Rene Daalder, with Derrel Maury, Andrew Stevens, Robert Carradine, Kim Beck, Ray Underwood, Steve Bond, Lani O’Grady. Otherworldly, neo-realistic high school-fable about rich psychos and piteous nerds, who, via the vengeance of a Charles Bronson-londer, turn into dead psychos and evil nerds. Red Dawn, directed by John Milius, with Patrick Swayze, C. Thomas Howell, Lea Thompson, Charlie Sheen, Darren Dalton, Jennifer Grey, Brad Savage, Doug Toby. Milius’ heavily-chastised imagining of a non-nuclear Communist grab at mid-America is, at its core, politically agenda-less. No mere anti-Russian/Cuba screed, Red Dawn is a hormone in search of a myth, a teenage western dashed by global cynicism.
