Film
Spawn
- 9:30PM
Michael Jai White—among the first black actors to play a leading role in a blockbuster comic book movie—is Spawn, the scarred avenger who makes a deal with the devil and finds himself caught between good and evil (personified by John Leguizamo’s gloriously campy Clown). It all unfolds in a sensory-overload, pure cinema rush of “vivid, bizarre, intense images—including visions of hell that are worthy of Hieronymous Bosch” (Roger Ebert).
Go to the movies just once a month and a BAM membership pays for itself.
The most radical call to revolution of the 1970s, suppressed for decades by the FBI.
A 90s horror classic rich in compelling racial and social commentary.
A subtly supernatural origin story and one of the most overlooked films of the last year.
