Free Movie Monday @ Domy Books

It's no mystery that we love us some Domy Books. And not in the "we love anything that is next door to Cafe Brasil" kinda way, more like in the way we love perusing the shelves of this quirky book store and entering a world of the weird and unique.

And in the fashion of the weird and unique, each Monday night Domy screens off-beat thrillers, cult classics, and down right "pulled outta tha 1987 vault" flicks for the low, low price of free.

Tonight's talkie: Cemetery Man (1994)

072307_movie.jpg"Zombies, guns, and sex, OH MY!!!
As first impressions go, one might think this film is just another Euro zombie romp, complete with gore, nudity, and over the top macabre humor. However, the viewer realizes underneath its corpse-riddled facade lies an existential tale of sex, love, death and the mundane reality of existence. Rupert Everett plays the caretaker of a cemetery in a small village. His only companion is a child like man servant who communicates with him through grunts and whines. Together they spend their nights disposing of the recently re-animated dead before they can escape the confines of the cemetery. He carries out this task in a seemingly content fashion until he falls for a young widow and kindles a doomed romance. The woman comes in and out of his life in many guises and torments his boundaries of love. Bitter and heartbroken, the line between life and death begins to blur, causing him to question the validity in zombie killing and the value of human life.

Pop on over to Cafe Brasil and have some yummy pizza before the show. Celebrate the rainless day! Yey!
