Cult Cafe

Dr. Who and the Daleks (1965)

This will be the final Cult Cafe in the Sky Room! Starting April 1st, Cult Cafe will screen films in the theater on the big screen!

While absentminded Dr. Who is demonstrating his latest invention, a time machine, the apparatus is accidentally set in motion, and the doctor, his two granddaughters (Barbara and Susan), and Barbara's boyfriend, Ian, all land in a petrified forest on a huge planet in the future. They are quickly captured by the Daleks, a hostile form of life encased in metal cones which protect them from the radiation caused by a massive neutron war. Also living on the planet are the Thals, friendly creatures who are able to live without the protective cones because they possess a drug which immunizes them against radioactivity. Since the Daleks desperately want the drug, they send Susan to invite the Thals to their stronghold; but when she returns, the Daleks discover that the drug is fatal to them. They decide to explode a giant neutron bomb which will increase radiation and exterminate the Thals. Dr. Who and his friends escape from their captors, warn the Thals, and help launch an attack in which the Daleks are vanquished moments before the bomb is set to explode. With the Thals free to live in peace, Dr. Who and his party return to their time machine.

Michelle Yeoh Celebration!

The Heroic Trio

The supernova star power of Hong Kong cinema icons Maggie CheungMichelle Yeoh, and Anita Mui propels this gloriously unrestrained action extravaganza from genre maestro Johnnie To, which injects its martial-arts mayhem with a blast of comic-book lunacy. They are the knife-throwing, shotgun-toting, kung-fu-fighting super-heroines who must overcome their dark pasts in order to defeat an evil, baby-snatching eunuch who is terrorizing Hong Kong. Eye-popping motorcycle stunts, brain-exploding skeletons, infant cannibals, and kinetically choreographed wire work are all part of the delirium in this unstoppably entertaining cult favorite (referenced in Cheung’s international breakthrough Irma Vep), a kick-**** showcase for three of the coolest women warriors to ever hit the screen.
