Lost in Woonsocket & Four Boxes at the Riverview

posted by The Joe

The Riverview Theater will have two special screenings in September – the Lost in Woonsocket documentary and local thriller Four Boxes, which curiously almost negates its Parkway Theater screening in November.

Lost in Woonsocket
Thursday September 23
7:00 PM l FREE

Missing for years, two alcoholics are discovered living together in the back woods of Woonsocket, RI. A series of profound coincidences lead to miraculous reunions with their families and a chance at treatment, recovery and redemption. The real challenge, however, is yet to come: What happens when only one of the men is able to remain sober?

Trailer

Four Boxes
Thursday September 16
7:00 PM l TBA

In this locally made horror film three friends get dangerously hooked on a surveillance-cam website.

Buy Trash Humpers on VHS. Or 35mm.

posted by The Joe

Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers inexplicably remains my favorite film of 2010, and it’s nabbed a home video release at the end of September. Here in America, Drag City will release the DVD. However, in the U.K., Warp Films will have a plethora of viewing options, like 150 limited NTSC VHS copies for North America.

Yes.

Unfortunately, they’re kind of expensive, so someone should probably buy that for me. And even more expensive are the three 35mm prints they’re selling.

Wait, what?

Trash Humpers is released in the U.K. on September 20 (over HERE), and in the U.S. on September 21 (over HERE).

Waxx Maxx + Military Special + Claps at ?????? on Saturday Night

posted by Mojo Marshall

Todd Pitman sent us over the info about a “secret” show going down this Saturday night. Headlining is Waxx Maxx, Mark Mallman’s new electro-pop project with Nicole Godiva and Alyssa Brenny. You can hear their first single in the video above or download it below. Also playing the “secret” show is Military Special, Claps, and Meridene. Speaking of Military Special you can download a new track of theirs below too.

The location of the show can be found by scanning the QR barcode found on one of the twelve hidden posters on the West Bank. Or if you are lazy and chained to your computer like me, the venue location may flash faintly at the end of the video above.
