D Movies: Samurai Cop

Synopsis:


The Dandy Brewing Company Presents: D Movies: Samurai Cop (1991)

As the brutal Japanese gang known as the Katana gradually spreads its tentacles throughout sunny Los Angeles, controlling everything from drugs and gambling to prostitution, no one is safe to walk the streets. To deal with the problem, the Los Angeles Police Department enlists the help of an expert: Detective Joe Marshall, an avid Japanophile trained in the way of the sword and the ancient Bushido code of conduct. 

As a result, protected by the unbreakable code of silence of the feared Yakuza, Katana boss Fuji Fujiyama and his lethal right-hand man Yamashita wage war on anyone who stands in their way. Joe and his new partner, Officer Frank Washington have no other choice but to bring out the big guns. Can Samurai Cop put an end to Fujiyama's reign of terror?

The Dandy Brewing Company raises a cold beer to cinema’s most glorious trainwrecks in all their cringe-worthy splendor. Trash classics and a full-sensory experience for lovers of the unlovable. Bad Movies, Great Booze, every month from Dandy Brewing Co

Madonna: Truth or Dare

Synopsis:

The Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Madonna: Truth or Dare (1991)


Capturing Madonna at the height of her pop-culture dominance during the Blond Ambition Tour, this influential and popular documentary straddles the line between gritty authenticity and highly manufactured spin. Music-video director Alek Keshishian worked with Madonna to create something that began as a concert film but evolved into a “warts-and-all” portrait of the pop star.

Over the years, the film has earned both praise and criticism. On one hand, it is entertaining, captures a major star at a peak moment, and—through its depiction of the backstage lives of her dancers—offered mainstream audiences a rare look at queer culture. It has also been cited as a major influence on reality-TV form and style. 

On the other hand, some dancers sued the production for “outing” them, Madonna is often seen as self-centred, critics noted that documentaries about queer culture by queer filmmakers (such as Paris Is Burning) had greater authenticity, and the film was criticized upon release for being emotionally manipulative and staged.

Wherever your opinion lands, the movie remains a big, bold, unabashed snapshot of a very specific moment in American pop culture.

Genre: Documnetary

Director: Alek Keshishian
Stars: Madonna, Donna DeLory, Niki Haris

Kusama: Infinity

Synopsis:

The Calgary Cinematheque Presents: Kusama: Infinity (2018)


Yayoi Kusama is one of the most unique and significant living modern artists. Rising to prominence in the 1960s, she overcame racism, sexism, and mental illness to become the top-selling female artist in the world. Her work is brilliant and beautiful, and this is captured in Heather Lenz’s stunning portrait. 

Kusama has lived since the 1970s in a mental-health facility in Japan, and the film reveals the connection between her personal struggles and her art, which remains her primary method for working through her mental-health challenges. The result is an invaluable record of one of the world’s great creative geniuses.

Genre: Documnetary

Director: Heather Lenz
