Top Bad Movie Choices for the Week

A Wing Chun master has to defeat 8 martial arts schools to open his own school, yet he has become a chess piece to the local power dynamics. Martial arts action with overly-convoluted plot.
Thomas Middleditch presents The Blood of Heroes
Saturday, Jun 18, 2016 10:30 PM
The Cinefamily
611 N Fairfax Ave,
Los Angeles, CA 90036
$14
The 1989 post-apocalyptic The Blood Of Heroes may technically
be a “B-movie,” but Thomas Middleditch gives it a resounding “A.” Life
is cheap—especially in the above-ground wastelands—and, for those brave
enough to compete, the gladiator-style bloodsport known as “Jugging” is
often the only way out. But those are just the minor leagues, and if
you’re brave enough—or just plain foolish—you might get a chance to play
in an “outreach” game hosted by any of The Nine Cities ruled by the
bourgeois elite, notorious for leaving juggs dead or crippled beyond
repair on the field. Will our motley crew of Dog Town misfits make it
past 100 Stone, or will they simply hope to make it out alive?

Inspired by Play Nintendo, Nintendo’s site for kids and families, the tour invites visitors to hop into a Yoshi egg to play
Yoshi’s New Island, recline on a giant banana while checking out Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D and relax in pink beanbag chairs to play one of Nintendo’s newest games,
Kirby: Planet Robobot. People who are into cool family photos or
amazing selfies can take some pictures next to a huge Kirby figure,
beside an oversized Yoshi egg, inside a barrel flanked by Donkey Kong
and Diddy Kong, under a devastating blue Spiny
Shell in the Mario Kart 7 area or next to a giant Pokéball in the Pokémon Omega Ruby and
Pokémon Alpha Sapphire region. The New Super Mario Bros. 2 section even features a photogenic flagpole, stacks of coins and a warp pipe, while the
YO-KAI WATCH area makes people look like they have stepped into the town in the game, complete with mischievous Yo-kai lurking about.

After stumbling upon a bizarre “competitive endurance tickling” video online, wherein young men are paid to be tied up and tickled, New Zealand human interest reporter David Farrier reaches out to request a story from the company. But the reply he receives is shocking—the sender mocks Farrier's sexual orientation and threatens extreme legal action should he dig any deeper. So, like any good journalist confronted by a bully, he does just the opposite: he travels to the hidden tickling facilities in Los Angeles and uncovers a vast empire, known for harassing and harming the lives of those who protest their involvement in these films.

"Perpetual foster kid Ricky Baker has a record—”kicking stuff, burning
stuff, defacing stuff, stealing stuff”—but it looks like he’s finally
found a home in the New Zealand countryside. Psych! Shit just got
real—as what could have been a pastoral new life for Ricky becomes a
screwball goose chase of miscommunication, as he, his foster uncle
Hector, and Tupac the pit mix are forced into the New Zealand bush on a
run from the wretched Child Welfare lady."
